Yang Family Tai Chi Discussion Board

(not readily susceptible to verification or even confirmation by anyone else) not true, those that have experience with and in this can and will tend to experience the same things, I can read Kalamondins post and quite emphize with what he has felt based on my own work and that of my teacher. As far...

None of the present yang s can do any of this that I know of? why? (Let's face it, people want to believe in mysterious and magical things) no a better take is that some have felt things that can not be explained except but by what is said according to TCM or the classics there may come a time when ...

(I think I picked up what your were putting down about the bird not flying being as much a chi perception thing as a physical one. I quite agree with you, actually) agreeing that a bird must push off of something to fly, it stands to reason that this can only be while the bird is on the ground not l...

(Its part of a complete package, think of it as the ability to really feel a movement before it manifest. With out this it would mean that by the time you physically felt something it would be to late. touching such a person you would be chasing ghost and shadows.) I guess you must of missed what I ...

Experience is not a belief or an idea. Beliefs or ideas are mealy interoperations of a reality but not the reality its self. Conclusions can exist when the experience is close to a held belif that an understanding can be reached, in some cases its so far above that to form one, even from a direct ex...

I would say try it and then see if it works, should be pretty easy to do with a tame bird. My point was that from my point of view the bird’s qi to fly was removed or maybe redirected so that it was actually stuck to his hand and could not fly if it wanted to. At any rate to reduce it to a physical ...

(I, too, have seen these seemingly miraculous demos. However, every time I've stepped up, personally, and said, "OK, do that to me then" it's never, ever worked.) it only means that they where not up to the task and that you probably are not to receptive to this type of energy. Nothing mor...

(To cause to fall on or over something)

yep this one works, question might be what is that somthing

its been a good disscussion with some good insights and much sharing with out ranker or insults. much thanks to all

(He answered that he has never heard of this spoken of within the Yang family, and noted that it is scientifically impossible. He asked rhetorically, “No matter how remarkable someone’s skills or jin may be, how would it be possible for them to issue and throw out another person without contact?” (Y...

(Could that same high level individual lead someone with not much skill (like me) to an empty place by doing so, causing his opponent to loose his balance and stumble or fall? Surely if he can follow, adhere, stick and listen at this level then he could do this.) and what ever else they wanted to do...

Young Fu was shocked when he heard this because the cotton thread was used as a training tool only among the indoor disciples of the Yang style. It was never before shown to outsiders. Master Yang warmed up by performing “Grasp Sparrow’s Tail” and “Cloud Hands"; thereupon, he took the cotton th...

I wonder what he would say of other masters from different lines of the yang family who can do this? Or of the stories told about things that are representative of this type of skill with out showing the actual skill used. its just a higher level of skill very uncommon even in china. i have felt thi...

(No. No throwing without touching) mmm, think about what is evolved and then think what really needs to happen before answering. The correct answer should have been that no there are only a few that ever reach this level. Some examples are on the net. there really is no real explanation that will ex...

nice

(I would be interested in hearing any tips on this particular essential, if anyone has any to offer) it should be a result of not something to be attained to. In other words when your form has reached a stage where it really is internal guided by yi directed by qi this will happen by itself not some...
