林愛偉 Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Greetings, Just a heads up. I'll be returning to NY in July for good. Working on the establishment of Jing Xin Yuan as first a small school of virtue and moral development, for both children and adults, and Martial Arts. Then work on the Buddhist educational school of cultivation and a Chinese cultural center; music, writing, language, art and dance. Peace and Blessings, Lin Edited June 15, 2008 by 林愛偉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doc benway Posted June 15, 2008 THen we could do some push hands and drink some tea! Oh yeah... I would like that. My teacher just got a shipment of some A+++ Taiwan High Mountain Oolong - the good stuff. I've got about half a kilo of the stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
林愛偉 Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) Oh yeah... I would like that. My teacher just got a shipment of some A+++ Taiwan High Mountain Oolong - the good stuff. I've got about half a kilo of the stuff. Oh excellent, Gao Shan Cha is great. I have a pound of that stuff and intend to bring a lot more too! I think it will be a great time...tea, Taiji Quan, and some good conversation. Speaking of Push hands, I recently had my good friend out here finally come around for some push hands practice. I haven't done it since I left my Sifu , Rudy Curry, in NY 4yrs ago for China. I'm a bit rusty, but here is a recent video of my friend and I practicing push hands. He does Bagua, but has not practiced push hands, so I am letting him practice on me mainly. I just keep doing some basic stuff on him, nothing heavy duty.. hehe He's learning, and I am remembering.. http://s280.photobucket.com/albums/kk195/j...g/Taiji%20Quan/ Peace and Blessings, Lin Edited June 15, 2008 by 林愛偉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron Posted June 15, 2008 Good stuff. You look to be very strong for a vegan Lin. Do you get alot of protien from other sources? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
林愛偉 Posted June 15, 2008 Good stuff. You look to be very strong for a vegan Lin. Do you get alot of protien from other sources? As a child I ate meat. I started vegetarian a few years ago, and now, I only eat once a day. Though I have a little belly, its going away fast. I don't pay attention to nutritional things so much as I used to and I don't work out. Not very strong.. prbably 20 push up would make me have shakey arms I just practice Qi Gong, meditate and teach Gongfu.. hehe I do eat eggs though once and a while. There is wood ears( a fungus) I eat, and dofu every once and a while. Peace, Lin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
林愛偉 Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) That was great watching you and friend push hands.You are very grounded. I haven't practiced push hands in a long time...since I last saw my Taiji Quan Sifu. That was about 2yrs ago. We stay in touch all the time, and we are both looking forward to me continuing my Taiji Quan training. Been training since 2001 Peace and Blessings, Lin Edited June 15, 2008 by 林愛偉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

松永道 Posted June 16, 2008 Lin, This may be a testament to my attachment to material things but... Who is your tailor out in Anhui? I can't help but notice your classy, classical, comfortable looking duds. Anyway, sorry (in a selfish way) to here your time in China will be coming to an end soon. I guess we won't get a chance to meet this time around. Though should you come through Xi'an on your way out be sure to drop me a line. Your school sounds wonderful, I wish you success (also in a selfish way, after all, I want to live in a better world). Peace, 祝你一路平安啊！ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doc benway Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks for the video links - very nice to see you and your friend. Your central equilibrium is good - do you stand regularly? Do you practice the peng/lu/ji/an circle? Best, Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
林愛偉 Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks for the video links - very nice to see you and your friend. Your central equilibrium is good - do you stand regularly? Do you practice the peng/lu/ji/an circle? Best, Steve I used to soley do standing for many years. Now I stand once and a while every week. Keep up the practice you know?... haha The Peng, Lu, Ji, An... I don't know what they mean. I never learned the terms, but things come together when there is proper alignment and good fondation of sensitivity and application practice. I'm making a basic instructional video for my student now actually. Once its edited, I will poist it up on my youtube channel, and send the link here for any one who is interested.

林愛偉 Posted June 17, 2008 Duds are clothing. The Chinese clothing? Wow! some I bought 10 yrs ago in NY Chinatown. Can't buy any out here in China, you have to get them made. SO I go and buy material, and send it to a tailor who makes the clothing for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
