The Empty Mind – Wudang Mountain Tai Chi

so what is the point of that story? The fact that, the truly good teachers, Chinese society, is not going to let go that easily. Chinese people are well aware of the fact that people with “Kung Fu,” in anything that has value, are extremely rare. The Tai Chi experts america gets, are the “doctors that puncture veins” of the story above. Oh yeah sorry, in the above story, a correction “before it even takes form, so his name does not leave the house.”

I’m sure that chinese teachers here in America are competent enough, but, I doubt we will ever see Wong Fei Hungs, or Yang Lu Chans, or, some masters so powerful, China prefers they remain below the radar. If at all possible, I want to try and find a teacher, the Chinese do not want me to know about.

good manners demands it though…..
thanks for the advice. If I ever make my video game fortune in Japan, which I kinda doubt as I don’t speak Japanese, I’ll stick my fortune in a savings account, and with as little money as possible to avoid thieves, I’ll travel to China and stay in hostels on my way to Shiyan.
Should prove quite an adventure if it ever happens….

of cooking and listen to the life of past
and present.

Dear XBLOCKS, what you are saying is true. Wudang Shan, like Song Shan has become a tourist circus. I was embarrassed when I visited the Shaolin temple. When I was training in Shaolin styles in Hong Kong, though, my teacher told me that in order to find a good instructor, you need to make sure they know applications of the movements. And when they make the long stance, he said a common mistake is to point the toe outward instead of keeping it parallel with the back foot…

I disagree. China still holds good teachers, not many but still around.

Pretty little video, too bad it does not show much… I would prefer less music and more continuous shots either of the instructor or of the students

Religion and philosophy are antagonist systems in Western culture.
Due to fact that Greek philosphers and the Church never mixed so you incousciently repeat this opositio tend to apply it to a world where things are completely different.
This mentality to separate these category is only an heritage from your history and an illusion of what Religion and Philosophy are supposed to be
Like people who oppose extern and intern to follow the trends while this separation is VERY recent and baseles.

man you westerners sure have a warped exotic fantasy about how MY PEOPLE act and think, its almost offensive, were no different then any other people lol i can assure you chinese folks dont go out of there way to keep some special secrets away from westerners, THIS aint no kung fu movie, stop stereotypin us as some mystical philosophical selfish people…we teach who evers dedicated come on now it aint the 60s.

Regarding the “exoticness” yes, I believe I said that. Regarding the “secrets;” come on now, there are advanced training methods you do not share with YOURSELVES. lol.
Its okay though I figured out it out; all you need to do is stretch a lot and stand still for a really long time. Exercising the muscles helps too; the physical strain cultivates humility.

“some masters are so powerful,china prefers they remain below the radar”…come on now, im not tryin piss u off but “china” doesnt go out there way to HIDE anything, if they exist which i know some do, there probably working,taking care of family doin whatevas needed to be done in a developin country doesnt mean there hiding anything lol its even a INSIDE joke in chinadown how americans think like this, were not in ancient china or a kung fu flick…

Yes, I do have a big nose, but you got the wrong branch of the Jews buddy; I actually fuck goats and married my 14 year old first cousin, THAT is the branch of the Jews you are referring to when you talk about ME, among other stereotypes, I also sell plates in Arab bazaars. “The Jewish plate seller,” never heard that one before but anyway; now I KNOW, you are short, have a big head, and are one of those “scheming asians.”

Lets see, what are other stereotypes about Iraqi Jews? goat fucking; got it, marrying your 14 year old first cousin even though you’re 37, got it, oh yeah, oh yeah, I take a solid galon of cologne and pour it on my person to cover the goat smell like the Arabs.
