What have their stones and ability to fornicate got to do with fighting skills? Many of the key bodyguards of Chinese Emperors were eunuchs. Through history their names as martial artists struck terror and fear as to their fighting prowess. There were also well known warriors who were women. And for last few years, women in USA Special Forces. You telling me they cannot perform?

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/07/us/terror-charges-refugees/ (CNN)Federal authorities arrested two refugees on terror-related charges Thursday. The arrests in Sacramento, California, and Houston did not appear to be directly related, but the cases had several similarities. Both men were Palestinians born in Iraq and living as refugees in the United States, according to the U.S. Justice Department. And both of them are accused of lying to immigration officials about their alleged ties to terrorist organizations. Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, 24, of Houston, is charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIS. Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab, 23, of Sacramento is charged with making a false statement involving international terrorism. This beg the question. What about those not caught and known about as yet? Only in USA? Non of them in Germany or Sweden or France or UK? All of them nicely counselled and given hot soup and euros to spend? Money taken from wild life funds and funds that should be going to Nepal to help the earthquake victims or those still in Syria and Iraq? GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!

I love Bamberg too. I had not known of Sandkerwa as perhaps that was not around or not that wild back in 1993-4-5 when I had to periodically drop by in Erlangen. Or maybe I was not there in the time for the festival as surely my german friends would have taken me there. Neither did I go to Oktoberfest in Munich. There were already so many beerfests in the villages around Erlangen that each village took turns for us to go to one after another. With whole oxen roasted on open fires with slices of roast beef carved from the ox and bratwurst more than can be eaten even if washed down by mugs of beer. I was more than happy enough to leer into the bosoms of the beer maids. Any frolicking I done was with mutual consents which is the very best. The frauleins told me not to speak German to them as a big favor as my best German was not understandable to them and their ears hurt from my german. But I really think from what you say that the beer fests changed so much that I might not wish to return keeping my memories of those happier times from being contaminated by present time.

If folks here wondered why I kept talking about wild life funds, I plagiarised below what I always wrote at bottom of my Livejournal page. Every page Those organisations are getting less and less money as more and more money got siphoned into keeping refugees in warm houses and tents and giving them warm food and hot soup and maybe nice jacuzzis together with counselling as well. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& If what I wrote help you and you like to help, give a thought for the wildlife sharing our planet. Do write that cheque to Gerald Durrell wildlife trust I am a life member of Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. Do join us to do whatever we can for the wildlife that shared our planet. http://www.durrellwildlife.org/ or to any wildlife conservation body of your choice

REVEALED: More than half of suspects detained over Cologne sex attacks are ASYLUM SEEKERS It comes as it emerged the immigrants suspected of taking part in organised sex attacks on women celebrating New Year’s Eve taunted police saying they were untouchable. Official reports showed how one migrant told officers: “I am from Syria, you need to treat me nicely. I was personally invited by Mrs Merkel.” While another thought to be involved in the horrifying scenes ripped up his asylum claim papers in front of police saying: “You can’t do anything to me, go get me a new one tomorrow.” Details of the astonishing lack of respect shown by the migrants came as investigations into the sickening events in Cologne on New Year’s Eve continued. Nice to know money hijacked from wild life funds and refugees in Nepal from earthquakes and refugees in Syria and Iraq being used to feed and warm and counsel those folks in Koln. Their needs are much greater.

If mushrooms there include red caps with white dots I wanna go too! Idiotic Taoist to the center of the world

I love this from BBC

I thought you were there and seen that yourself. Now you said your friends never mentioned of it either. Perhaps that was so common place. SoaringCrane testified with gusto that happened. And also in the same breath, whatever that did not happened in Koln was criminal organised. Nothing whatsoever to do with North Africans and Arabs and must not be allowed to tarnish them at all. That placing of firework in the hoodie of Jenny were fabrications of BBC and CNN and Reuters and must be photoshopped all out to tarnished the good names of folks there which I heinously portray as something more evil than just regular guys having fun with fellow germans on new years eve. Cologne sex attacks: Women describe 'terrible' assaults You see, whenever the mods on this forum hide posts (actually, we don't "burn" or "delete" them), they are obliged to state their reasons for doing so. Now, considering your repeated demands to torture and kill refugees in minutely described, most inhumane ways indeed makes my summary "xenophobic content" rather look like an understatement. Rotan caning is not torture. It is legal retributions that was passed on to uncivilised folks of Malaya and Singapore by colonial England to bring knowledge and civilisation to the great unwashed Asians and other races. We realised the error of our ways and adopt civilised way as taught to us by colonial masters and kept those ways as we saw it was good and retribution excel over counselling any time. No illegal immigrants ever caught the third time in Malaysia or Singapore. Dropping them in the middle of Med sea is not killing them. But of course, if you want to keep them in your backyard, they all can be dropped there as well. Why not also include how evil I am by mentioning my cries to nuke Agrabah until the domes glow. And my playing of Horst Wessel Lied here a clear sign of my blood thirstiness. Can even dig up from my youtube favourites that I love listening to Erika and Ich hatt' einen Kameraden and Annemarie as my propensity for blood thirsty music. And my posting of images of a Jew hating person even if just of his grave (even if not in this forum) is another sign of my extreme xenoaeiou. My darling Hou YiFan At the grave of Bobby Fisher I must admit, all that is very impressive and hard to beat. What have I got to offer? Let me see... Treating a number of very traumatized refugees from Islamic countries in my work as a counsellor. Oh, and my brother-in-law is a Muslim. Hope that counts. Hope you enjoy yourself! Can relatives be counted? Even if you hate them , or indifferent to them, they are still relatives. Friends are different as they are whom you are friends with. Here is a photo of Imam Datuk Mahmud Khan with my other Muslim friend Rahman Alkaff taken at lunch of mutton briani rice on banana leaf at Samy Curry house at Dempsey road Singapore when the Imam drop in from Kuala Lumpur to be with some friends. That was on Dec 19 taken with my Xiaomi handphone. I am sure you will know who that Imam is in the photos. You ever got invited by Muslims to join their meals? Have you not consider your counselling work was financed by money which now will not be going to other charities such as wild life or refugees of earthquake in Nepal or refugees within Syria and Irag which further encouraged even more of them to come and be counselled by you and others like you. They will be sending sms back to encourage their relatives to make those trips as they get fed and get money without having to work at all and they all can pray 5 times a day to show infidels how much holier they are then thou. On top of that, the traumatize refugees are moved out of their heated tents into apartments in cities of Germany by evicting Germans who lived there for over twenty years. Do those Germans received counselling? or counselling only for traumatised refugees. Refugees encouraged to come for counselling by you and others like you? Refugees force woman out of the home she lived in for 23 YEARS after migrant influx I love animals. I love grass carps , big head carps and snakeheads. I wonder why Americans hate them with vengence swearing to try to exterminate any that they found in their lakes and rivers I love snakes and Burmese pythons. And yet Americans again are trying to kill all those innocent snakes in the Florida. I love cockatoos with their caregivers and in Indonesia and Australia. HongKong now list cockatoos there as indigenous specie after expensive and futile campaign to get rid of them. Perhaps I am nothing but a hypocritical animal lover in liking animals within certain strict defined context since I agreed with the Americans path of xenophobic total exterminations of those creatures that I love. The problem of traumatized immigrant in Europe and UK just only starting. Do have fun with your counselling. Try to include Germans too in your counselling as well.

I have lived and worked in Germany, Erlangen periodically. Part of my assignment in Project Controls and Configuration management and controls with Siemens on the Taipei and Guangzhou MRT systems. I might not be there all the time. But I enjoyed the Oktoberfest in Bavaria as it moved from villages to villages around Nuremberg. I never recalled any grabbing of arses or heard that from my German friends. But that was way way back in 1993-4-5 Only thing I remembered was the happiness and the beer and the roast beef and sausages and when we heard Lili Marlene, it would be time to go home. Things must have changed according to soaring crane and flyinghigh, and that it got very common. Shucks! I missed all the modern days fun. Seems immigrants opps... new inhabitants of Germany got that even up to date and taught more permanent Germans what they are missing. But I might just want to check out Oktoberfest to get myself more current with the nearest in thing and fun thing to do to frauleins. Idiotic Taoist all ready for 2016 Oktoberfest

The irony is that I probably have more Muslim friends than any ten of non muslim members here combined together. Starting from my primary school days. With friendship that extend to today and I last visited him and his family at his house about 3 days ago. There are 2 Imams that considered me their friend. One of them from my primary school days . I had lunch with him with the other muslim above and 4 others more about 8 days or so ago. And another I met and got to know in Oman. In my Livejournal blog written in real time were accounts of visits to their houses and their return visits to me. Anyone living in Middle East will know visits to local houses were extremely rare events especially as females in houses were kept away from sight of casual friends. I have been to many shisha houses with Arabic friends but not really recorded in my blog as that was largely on birdies and beasties. I know enough conversational Arabic, much more than just Ahlan sadiqi , Kaifa haloka? , shokran, Ramadan mobarak. My wife was known for her Arabic calligraphy to the point Omani Arabs wanted her to write for them amazed she could do that off hand. My wife stopped eating of pork for the last 5 years. I suspect that she did not become a full fledge muslim in fear I might just follow her and then get myself 3 more wives as I will be entitled to. So for those that was judge and jury and sentenced me for the crime of xenoaeiou, how many close muslim friends that you do know ? One? or not a single one at all! Do you know what I wrote in Arabic without going to google translate? Idiotic Taoist laughing and laughing away

Alarmist newspaper stories? All ok with Europe and France and UK? Tell me where you bought your rose tinted glasses as I love to have a pair. And treat que jumpers as heaven sent as their rights to their own personal happiness far supercede my own rights. My earlier thought of spending a few months in Slovenia and Croatia to check if I can retire there went down the drain. Maybe with those pair of rose tinted glasses I might still want to go there.

The problem is very nasty. Do you propose a nice lovely solution? Is sticking head in the sand like ostrich and burning posts one of those solution? The situation in Cologne is lovey dovey and reported by main news such as BBC and Reuters and CNN. Their doing of what they doing is ok and to be smiled at and kept at arms lenght is all that is required. My reporting of that here met with a fist and mallet and rod so that it be politically correct and I labelled xenoaeiou. Solutions might just be as nasty as the problem, or even more nasty. Why that problem is allowed to happen in the first place when my deleted posts on why Malaysia and Singapore never have problems with illegal immigrants (That was a legacy still kept but given to us here, courtesy of the British Legal Brains via British Empire) Not your choice or my choice. Is 2016, when spring come along are we all going to see 5 millions arrivals in Europe in addtion to the 1.5 millions in 2015? Will 2017 see 10 millions then? More aid money for the wild life funds and to refugees in their own land like Nepal and Syria will be diverted to those fresh 5 millions? When people jump que in supermarket or ticket for cinemas , you happily give way to them as their desire and pursuit of their personal happiness much more paramount to you and all others in the que such as wildlife and Nepalese refugees and other refugees still in their homeland?

It is impossible to combine hard MA with taijichuan. Especially if you are very good in hard MA. The lingering influence from hard MA is even more difficult to discard , and must be discarded to get into the inner MA world. It was only when I got to know Masters as against masters that it dwelled on me the fairy tales I had known of fajing were absolutely true. That the heart-mind was not just in martial arts movies shot in HongKong. I mentioned in my intro http://thedaobums.com/topic/24575-taijiquan-styles/page-4 I was martial arts inclined. Started with Korean TKD and Goju ryu. And later with Shaolin Kungfun passed down indirectly by a Shaolin Monk Sek Koh Sum who came from China to be Abbot in Singapore Suan Lin Tse. That Abbot died before my interest in martial arts was kindled. One of his tudi was my friend. I got to where I could snap the top half with a chop or reversed punch of a brick placed on palm of a hand. With Judo done in school and Western boxing done in my Army days, I had my share of real knocks and bumps. Sek Koh Sum 释高参 was a remarkable Master http://www.sekkohsam.tk/ Try to find the time to see more of that true shaolin fighting monk & abbot. It might read like a fairy tale. But then truth is always stranger than fiction. I was 4 years or so in Shaolin, after 4 years or so in TKD and Goju. I wrote often enough that I was throw about like a bloody rag doll left and right by Taiwan Masters who seemed to me like bag of bones. This was what I looked like in those days of 1990-1994 in Taiwan. Before I was send off to Guangzhou on that MRT system there. So if you think I must be a cream puff to be tossed about, the 2 photos below might amuse you. Extracted from Tinkerbell Summertime2011 Wuling Nong Chang & leaving Taiwan CH then showed me on his Ipad some old photos of us. I was delighted as those photos showed a much younger me. With head full of black hairs and my chest larger than my stomach. Above taken in summer 1991. CH was in training for iron man contest after I worked with him how to swim. He was going to do a sea crossing of a bay. I was going to be his safety with my fins. Yet another old photo of 1991 where we were at LungTung (Dragon Cove) doing rock climbing and traversing. Scary now when I think back of that. No safety harnesses and lines. Luckily we were all super fit and gods smiled on us all then. I was 5 feet 11 inches or 1.8034 meters. My weight then was 90 kg . You also see why much as I love taijichuan, I love many other things too much to spend all my Sundays with the Master Liu of Hsingkongyuan. Prior to meeting those Masters who convinced me in no uncertain terms that hard kungfu is a joke when faced with true inner kungfu of people who can ting jing, dong jing and fah jing. Idiotic Taoist on peng li ji ann

In the West, kungfu seemed only to apply to martial arts. That is not the case. If you do exquisite calligraphy be it Chinese , Arabic or even Western copperplate script, that will also be kungfu. Or in artwork or carving of rhino horns or hornbills, even if rhinos or hornbills disagree. One other aspect of life where kungfu is also used. If a guy has 4 wives and 6 concubines and able to keep them all happy, he is said to have very good kungfu. Or if he got 20 kids regardless of number of wives and concubines, his friends will pat him on his back with thumbs up for his kungfu. Idiotic Taoist with only one son will not be regarded as having good kungfu

You folks know I have been relatively quiet in the forum despite my leaving that life of 66-72 hours work week. I have wanted to get deeper into Chinese even though I can speak Chinese fluently enough with the 200-300 chinese words under my belt. Fragments of earlier memories of Taiwan Above chronicled how I got into Chinese language and other strange things that happened to me in Taiwan. Extracted from above I need to start at the beginning. I was invited to work and live in Taipei, Taiwan as a Planning Advisor to the Government there on the building of the Taipei Metro System in 1990. The first couple of month there, I could only order beef noodle soup ‘ neu rou mien’ for dinner as those were the only words I knew. My lunches were better in that first couple of months. I would join my Taiwaness collegues who then do the ordering. In a country where 99% of the people find it mentally impossible to use English and only speak in Chinese or Taiwanese, learning their language was so important. The friendliest people I encountered in the world are Taiwanese who were more ready than not to help you learn and speak Chinese, perhaps so that they were not be forced to use English with you. The problem was in the evening when I had to do the ordering. Pointing at the food was not enough as Taiwanese in their friendliness will then asked you what sauces do you wish and what other preparations do you want. That was so incomprehensible to me that I was forced to back out of their restaurant and go order ‘neu rou mein’ at ‘neu rou mien’ stall again and again. Then when I managed to learn enough Chinese and ordered ‘ chee tui fan’ (chicken drumstick rice) and gotten that served to me, I knew I was going to make it there. After a few months of initial shock and disbelief in the chaos of Taipei and despair as to why I allowed myself to be there, I found myself slowly falling in love, body and soul, with that country and her people. Having learned in the first few months how to communicate in Chinese helped a lot too. That was not just in ordering dinner. Buses had destinations all written in Chinese and incomprehensible to me and I just could not take the bus. There were no underground trains to take. Do recall I was there to build that system in the first place. Prior to learning enough Chinese to get by, I had no choice but to walk in the vast city of Taipei. I walked probably faster than I could run nowadays. In those early days, I cursed the motor bikes and scooters riding on the pavements. Just a couple of weeks after that incredible hike I made in Taroko Gorge and meet my good friend ‘Lone Ranger’ or Chen Hung or CH(report here 'Extract of 1990 diary on Taiwan and Taroko Gorge' http://shanlung.com/taroko90dec.htm ) , I decided to continue on with what I wanted to do before. Which was to walk from Tayuling to Wushe. In 1991, the main East/West cross country/mountain highway was via Tayuling to Lishan and down to TaiChong. My trail was a rocky walking track from Tayuling over HoHuanShan and perhaps 45 km. My knee was still bad and ankle wobbly. That track was icy with elevation climb of 1000M. I recalled that as a wonderful morning stroll. The huge earthquake brought down half the mountain and the main East/West highway after Lishan and a new road was constructed where the track was. In 2003 when I rented a car to drive on that new road to Lishan with Tinkerbell and my wife. That drive was so tiring that I could not figured how I thought it was a stroll for me in 1991, when I was carrying a 20++ kg backpack as well on that same route. And I walked over the Southern Cross Country Highway, with that backpack, and slept in sleeping bag off the road in the forest too. Back to life in Taipei. When I knew the words ‘juo juan’ (left turn), ‘you juan’ (right turn) , ‘yi tse jou’ (go straight ahead) and could communicate with taxis to tell them where to go, I knew I was going to enjoy life there as well . With the ability to order food, and to tell taxis where to take me, I thought I have died, and gone to Paradise. I did make friends quickly, especially girls, and wanting to get into chinese quickly, I had a different girl each evening to coach me in Chinese. But we got distracted pretty soon and found other better things to do ( I was not the only one who got horny or felt horny). I never managed to get to the reading part because of those distractions. That being said, I could follow the chinese words sub titles in TV soap dramas because they were written by 8 years old. I could even kind of follow Japanese soap using those Chinese sub titles. I did not believe in learning language such as the Taiwanese with yearning to learn English and yet despite studying English through 12 years of school and into the university and unable to string two coherent sentences in English. My teaching of English to them was to scream at them not to learn English but to get into USING of English instead. I stood as example to them as they knew I could not speak chinese prior to getting in Taiwan. Yet in 3 months, I could speak to them in Chinese , and eavesdrop on chinese conversations by my side. But I felt deprived that I could not read Chinese. Until I resigned and came back from Riyadh mid Aug this year that I decided I will get into Chinese. Not to learn that bloody language, but to read Chinese and use that not withstanding I no longer have that harem of Chinese tutors here no more. (if they are here, I doubt I get deeper into Chinese for reasons above) I do not advise you folks to read the TTC or Chuangtze for a start. I started with Water Margin 水滸傳 . I read this book before in English. I recommend the best translation by Pearl S Buck titled All Man are Brothers. The 水滸傳 is readily found on the Internet and free as this was written 700 or so years ago. 2 very important resource for anyone who want to get into the Chinese language my way and free to one and all Google translate https://translate.google.com/ Forget the English translation as that is beyond the scope of anything free But in google translate there is a sound icon that you can use for the Chinese words to be spoken out loud. For those doing the bastardised simplifed jiantiji of Chinese, you can get google translate to transform that into the proper fantiji with all the radicals shown instead of the x & x & x loved by those lover of bastardised jiantiji. You will find in those radicals the ideas behind the words. You can get that same sentence, or para, or pages repeated and repeated again and again The first click on the sound give you the proper chinese reading speed and the 2nd click give you a much slower speed. I am now using that first click. I got to finish chapter one to 20 of 水滸傳 . Simultaneously with google translate there will be this http://mandarinspot.com/annotate That same material I placed into google translate placed into here as well. You can use the annotate to get the phonetic sounds. One choice is hanyu pingyin so you can see the phonetics in English words. Another choice is the Zhuyin fuhao (Bopomofo) which give the sound using chinese phonetic symbols. click on Add spaces between words For printing and click on for printing as well so that annotated content be printed in separate tab. and you see another choice coming up as below Add vocabulary for all words HSK 2 and up HSK 3 and up HSK 4 and up not in HSK none at all Sort by first appearance pronunciation radical frequency Pick all words so you have the translations for all the words. I have two screens so they on different screens I chose the Zhuyin fuhao to totally eliminate any form of English when I am reading the chinese characters in time to the spoken Chinese from Google translate. I started off with 2 laborous sentences by 2 sentences. Hearing that and reading the zhuyinfuhao and then reading that again by the hanyu pingyin as I had not got back my familiarity with zhuyin fuhao. Then it got to paragraph by paragraph. Then it got to page by page. Except I could get that repeated as often as I liked. I cannot recommend short stories. In long stories, sequences will be repeated and important sequences repeated more often to drum into your head and heart the pattern of Chinese thoughts. 水滸傳 is a very beautiful book. Too beautiful I decided for getting into the language, but mind you, I got to chapter 20. The descriptions of mountains and forest sceneries were breath taking after I translate those word by word. With enough repeats, I need not even see those translations. The feats of martial arts were better then those you seen in Hongkong movies as those movies took their scenes from that book. 水滸傳 was also written 600 ears ago. What was bai hwa wen (simple chinese) to that writer would be considered as wen yen wen (serious classical formal chinese ) in our days I decided to switch to the Count of Monte Cristo and read that in Chinese. I have read that book in English twice before. I found the Chinese equivalent 基督山恩仇記 or ji du shan en chou ji or Jesus mountain gratitude revenge memoirs Google the chinese words to get to your free book. Which I had to change into PDF and finally into doc so I could extract that into the google translate and http://mandarinspot.com/annotate The chinese of that 基督山恩仇記 was a lot more like the current usage of Chinese. After the initial bit of reading para by para, I got to reading that by 2 to 3 pages at a time. And using the first click of google translate for speed of reading. After 2 weeks of hearing that read and reading the words in line with the google translate sound and then re reading that with hanyu pinyin and checking words translation, I got into that book via the chinese version and mindset. My recognition of zhuyin fuhao came back to me and I did without the hanyupinyin. Hanyu pinyin introduced an English element that I do try to do without as that distract from the total chinese immersion. I am now into chapter 48 of ji du shan en chou ji. In addition to that, from time to time, I download huang tse su or chinese sex stories to amuse myself. And read Li Bai poems in chinese. And Chinese songs in chinese such as those on my youtube, And yes, I read all of Flashman books since I came back in mid Aug. And the 3 books of John Gwynne. And Rothfuss Name of the Wind and Wise men Fears (all strongly recommended by me to you) And a dozen other books probably not your taste All that in between eating when hungry and drinking when thirsty and fornicating when horny. Much nicer than those 66 to 72 hours work week Just remember the Rosetta Stone had about 300 odd words of Egyptian Hierographics and 300 odd words of Greek to give the key to ancient egyptian writings. With those tens of thousands of chinese words, spoken as sounds and written out you should be able to get into the chinese language into your heart and and think chinese and not have to do bloody translation of chinese into english in your head. Because when you get into the chinese and know the chinese, then why the fuck do you need to translate that in you bloody head? Do not be like those Taiwanese (or Japanese or Koreans ) after learning English all through schools and Uni and yet unable to string 2 coherent sentences in English. All because in their heads and hearts, they still learning English and never got to using English. So this is my road for you to get into Chinese, and not to learn $%@#$%@* Chinese. There are enough threads here and august guidance for you to learn and learn Chinese. How much good that do for you I wonder. Not that what I wrote do you any good other then promises of hard work from your part (heck! it was not easy for me either at the beginning).

Cross posting from http://thedaobums.com/topic/24575-taijiquan-styles/page-8 Posted 02 January 2016 - 05:05 PM I have written about how I was thrown about and learned humility in meeting the ground from different angles from two of my Masters who were almost skin and bones and appeared hardly able to walk about. In 1990s, hardly any videos other than heavy weight video cameras were around. And even if I had, would hardly had taken videos of what I thought were normal occurrences , at least to me , after the initial phase of dis beliefs. After all, I met my Masters on almost every mornings and 2 sundays on of the month (other sundays were devoted to mountain climbings) All the stuff on weight transfer and muscle forces , waist power etc etc were driven out of me. Not that that will ever stop folks whose fixations will be that everything and all can and must be explained from the angle of Western sciences or even pseudo western sciences. I have seen a couple of videos where such tossing about reminded me of my times with those Masters. Let us bear in mind that while many stuff seen can be duplicated via cheating and playactings, and one can easily pooh poohed what is video tape as hogwash and fakes, true events occured. Such as talks of John Chang having some electric shock machine hidden on his body to give electric shocks. There was yet another Master at the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall training at the South Entrance that I had the chance of hands on even if I did not continued on with him. He was a big fat bloated Chinese man. His students who touched him were repelled away and I was in disbelief. He was nice enough to hand on with me and in the next moment, I felt a shock running through my body with me bouncing away. To be told by full time dedicated debunkers who know not where their mouth end and arsehole start that those events were done by hoax can be hilarious. They can believe in whatever that they want to believe in. The first video is of Lee Chu Gong of ChengJia taijichuan. His lineage is from Chen Fah Ker. Through Hong Jung Seng, CFK student. Do try to convince yourself that his fajing was nothing but sinking of body weight. Failing that, what you have seen must be a huge attempt to hoax gullible westerners of mysterious powers. I was thrown away by my Masters more dramatically than that in video as they knew of my judo background and ability to break falls and that I did not feel degraded by being tossed about. The next video is of an elderly gentleman in Bagua Chang. Do try to convince yourself that it was all mechanics of sinking of weight and bending of waist and alignment of feet and joints. Failing that it was all another hoax that clever Westerners will never fall for. Fajing is not a property of taijichuan. That Master Liu of that HsingKongYuan was not a taiji man even if he kept brushing aside what jia he was. I believed he was of the liu her bah fah 六 合 八 法 . He with my other Masters told me whatever jia or pai would not matter once one can ting jing and more important, dong jing. That was in 2009. Since I was writing on totally different kind of crowd (birdie/beastie folks) with my son making cameo appearances . I did not mentioned about it then. But it came into my mind when I was writing above. With my son in Budapest and Amsterdam // Setting the foundations for Riamfada's future My son was in Budapest taking part in an IM chess tournament after a lay off of many years. I took time off my Oman assignment to fly there to give him moral support. That winter was one of the coldest winter in Europe. Walking about Budapest left you frozen and after a couple of times, we did just hung about the hotel. My son had a black 1 dan in Aikido. I laid off my taijichuan since Tinkerbell came into my life and I could not find that 90 mins just to tick over and I thought I forgot it all. I had not seen him for a few years prior to Budapest and I was curious of his Aikido and talked of martial arts. We got to the corridor outside the room for a bit more space. On first hands on together, I was surprised at how stiff I perceived of him, his body and arm. As he moved in on me, I felt his intentions telegraphed to me. I thought aikido was soft and therefore aikido players should not be stiff like wood. I went into a li. It felt natural for me to fah jing into my li notwithstanding I laid off even ticking over taijichuan for 9 years. In the Li, his arm came and in that split second, I knew his body did not. To my horror, I pulled my son's arm out of his shoulder socket Needless to say, it all came to a stop. After that initial shock, I pop back the joint and to my relief, no lasting damage.
