GrandTrinity Posted August 12, 2005 "knowledge of how the body works--both your own and your opponent-and you have the potential to develop into a highly effective and unique martial artist, a master of "You Fu" as Scott calls it. So the difference lies in the goal: actualizing a style, or actualizing your own movement. Both can be effective, but the latter is far more direct, far more satisfying, and far more natural."  from article in circular strength mag calledFor The Western Mind   I find that so true. Westerners dont want limited range of motion that comes with 99 percent of these martial arts, we want freedom! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
