Amen brother, its all about the basics. I guess I am doing judo to test myself and hopefully push myself to the next level. Those were some great videos. I liked the push-hands stuff. I was supprised to see all the negative comments but personally I think you have to train hard in order to be soft and..... thanks for the compliment.

If your using the finger pressure method to retain make sure the pressure is applied in the back part of the perineum and not in the middle or else you could do some damage. If your just locking your hips back and anal locking then you just need to practice. There is a certain feel to it and once you get it then you'll be able to do it again. Thats why its called kung fu. It takes time and energy. Edit: Oooops..... I forgot..... welcome to da Bums!

I've done some cool stuff but it's very inconsistent. One time I am in the zone and I know what someone is going to do before they do it and I can give them a gentle push and they go flying, but mostly I go flying. I've had the time-slowing thing too but that is soooooo rare..... maybe three times in the 19 years I've done taijiquan. I am just afraid of becoming a LARP'er. My main goal is Taoist immortality and ascension but my second greatest goal in life is to be a taijiquan master.

I've heard the exact same thing. I heard it was more of a letting go the the throat chakra work to embrace the ajna stuff.

Who said anything about hurting anyone? I was taught to treat your opponent gentle pushes and yielding like you would a 2 year old no matter how big they were or how much they wanted to hurt you. I've done push-hands for years and it really doesn't help with anything related to self-defense. I know we have all seen the youtube videos of the old guy using a gentle push to send an opponent flying 50 feet away but thats whats called LARP'ing. (I am begging to get flamed, huh?)

Wise, wise words...........

Evolve and grow I guess but I think they have strayed from the roots of taijiquan far enough that you need to ask, is it still taijiquan? My answer would be no. However, if it floats your boat then go for it.

I'm just curious who the taijiquan fanatics are here. I do Yang but prefer practicing the Simplified 24 Form these days.

Yoga looks unhealthy to me. Can anyone allay my concerns?
