dedicated to the discussion of the chinese internal martial arts of xingyiquan, baguazhang, taijiquan, related arts, and anything else best discussed over a bottle of rum
whenever i hear about a master dying, i never feel sad. i just think that they transcended their body to go train and practice with their lineage masters already in the afterlife.
Sorry for your loss. My condolences and best wishes.
I define internal martial art as unusual muscle recruitment and leave it at that. If my definition is incomplete, at least it is correct so far as it goes.
