TaoTraceur Posted March 8, 2012 I am relatively new to daoist practice and energy cultivation, so I decided to join this forum to see what I can learn! I am currently learning about and practicing some chi gong, some taichi, and some circulations/meditations. Any advice or helpful comments would be greatly appreciated, and I look forward to being a part of this community! and if you were wondering about my user name, a traceur is a practitioner of parkour, which I have been doing for a long time, and recently I have been trying to apply all my daoist knowledge to it!

TaoTraceur Posted March 8, 2012 welcome, have you looked at qinggong in regards to how it relates with parkour? Thanks I have been working on keeping my body as relaxed as possible, not fighting myself to do things, just letting them happen. I've also been doing some rock climbing in the same mindset as the taichi form, and my muscles (or chi?) are much stronger this way and I am much less tired afterwards. and lastly I've been just trying to stay in a very meditative state when I go train, not letting my mind wonder or think too much, just be focused and move my body freely.

TaoTraceur Posted March 8, 2012 not sure if you have ever viewed chen shixing? there is another bum here, otis, who does some playing out in his environment. otis? where ya been? hope all is well in lala Thanks for sharing that, I had not seen him before. He is very fast, although those falls he is taking seem unhealthy to me... I have always been taught to dissipate the impact with a roll or my hands, but he is taking some serious falls and squatting! besides that, I look forward to meeting otis!
