Re: Tai Chi on a beam

Yslim, My take on this is long and detailed and would most likely bore most people to tears.

Re: Cai, Lie, Zhou, and Kao

...He explains this by saying that Split means "quick," "short," "twisting" and/or "going in different directions." It is explanations like these that have lead me to introduce the word "snap" in my translations. Ben, Audi & everyone else, As I ...

Re: Tai Chi on a beam

This is Cheng and Deng. One leg pushes, one leg pulls. One leg sends, one leg receives. One is Yin, one is Yang. Etc, etc. In this way your power, your energy, is generated by your legs.
