Re: Tai Ch Chuan's Essense is Self-Defense
Sun, January 6, 2008 - 11:01 PMWell, hmmm.
Thanks for sharing that.
It was interesting to watch another interpretation & attitude to such movement & mind.
Without actually being there and feeling him in person, and how he would actually blend with a live person attacking him minus the cooperation, I dont want to say much opinion-wise. It would only be an opinion anyway.

You are absolutely correct. You can't see if my opponents are in compliance. But, you can tell from their faces that they are in pain. Since you are in the Bay Area come by and touch hands with us. I practice on Sunday morning in Oakland, Chinatown Park near 8th and Jackson, across from the Bart Station. (930 am--11:00)
