its ok man :) Im enjoying this spirited conversation with TT

 

 Please tell me if I miss anything here. But from my understandin, to summarize, TT has

 

  • Called his own practice fantasy via his own definition of what a practice based on fantasy is
  • Posted  multiple sources that support me and contradict him
  • Evaded much of what he was asked by me
  • Went in the other direction when I asked him why the sources contradict him
  • Returned with a quote from a website that discusses martial arts that are not Neidan, from someone who has nothing to do with Neidan

On the plus side, I got to repost some good stuff from @freeform regards why filling the body with Qi is so important from a foundations perspective :) 


Sounds about right. At least some good has come from all this. If anyone still thinks he’s a credible source and still wastes their time trying to learn from him, they only have themselves to blame.

The coordination of movements and breathing was mentioned the same way by all Taiji practitioners.

  1. 3. Movements should be in harmony. No matter which internal martial art discipline, for it is common to all, that your movements should be natural and relaxed. In Sun Style Taijiquan practise, it is especially stressed that one's movements need to be well co-ordinated and smoothly connected like a flow of water. Crucial to the proper performance of the Taijiquan form is correct breathing. Correct breathing is abdominal breathing. Breathe naturally and deeply through the nose into the abdomen, neither holding your breath nor forcing the breath. Allow the pace of your breath to slow down. The mouth should be gently closed and your tongue should be lightly touching the upper palate inside the mouth.
