A lot of people who don't learn to grow their nerves become addicted to people around them as emotional spokes.

It would have been fine bullshit if he had actually connected to his "opponent" in ANY way whatsoever, some sense of rhythm and timing outside of his own little universe perhaps? complete illusion until the point of release.

put a tack in the wall. sit a comfortable distance and gaze at the tack until the wall blacks out. You're mind is required to still as your optic nerve settles into rhythm. this came to me from a gypsy joker turned job counseler who crossed paths with some gung guys in the early 70's. He said he still tunneled out to that day while driving on the freeway. His girlfriend thought he was spacing but he insisted he was pefectly centered in the zone. Last I heard of him he had retired and was sailing around different parts of the world. Cool cat to cross paths with in highschool.

why comes after who what when and where i think pranaman is speaking precisely to the T You need weapons? Are you going to a war? What benefits can be had in a war? Do you expect a physical conflict to occur soon? You Cee I Am not really concerned with your "concern" about this. Seek natural defense mechanisms. No harm! I was just asking. So you are doing this to further your wisdom, right? Meridian Washing if I'm not mistaken. Not so much more forceful, but just more lively slaps. More vibrant slaps. And so on. I practiced this for a while. After about a month I could hit with finger tips so hard that it would easily leave a bruise and I myself couldn't believe what I could do. I could hit walls with great vigor (if not to say force) and no fear and no finger buckling or any bad side-effects. This was enough for me. I am not really a martial artist. I got the point. I got my little bit of wisdom. And that was the end of that experiment. I let the skill lapse and I don't care about it. Now I can't strike like that anymore, but I know how to get back "there" if I need it. No end to relaxation into alignment. Sounds like a musician who got to the point. So this is what it means to practice for wisdom. It's very different from practicing for self-defense, and yet different from practicing for health, and also yet again different from practicing for killing/offensive situations. I hope this helps. No difference. Perhaps same same. The source of strategy is not war. The source of health is not medicine. The snake intertwines the stave.

You can't live on the peak of the highest mountain, that's making the summit. Travel changes people(s). Journeys in kind can arrest or assist, salt and pepper spice up a dusty roads meal. Solvents improve or inprov. In all keep walking the path, you might get bit by a poisonis snake.

I just spent the last day visiting and eating with this wonderful woman dancer coreographer and musician. She helped me understand spotting pivots. Western Ballet trained, breaking the modern contemporary dancer molds with spontaneous music interpretations. A true dream artist that my spinning heart coincided with. Blessings to her on her journeys. Speechless. Original Music & Cooreography Here: zJGcEJOAaSo

It's enough. Looks like your warming up and doing some conditioning for yi quan practice. I would simply add that after you feel warmed up do some line drills, form work, or dancing hands as your in the smoothest most coordinated at that point. Don't "warmup" to the point of feeling broke down, let the rest of the practice do that, in the most "coordinated" manner you adopt. ps - sciatica go bye bye soon.

It would be great if someone would post a more magical moments of movement spontaneous or conceived. This ordinary ecstasy would be so warmly received here.
