I was approached once by a very old man at CKS Mem Hall who seemed to have an old version of tai chi, very organic and similar to some of the better stuff I've seen at 228. His main emphasis to me was to do everything slow. It was one of those really strange encounters that you might even doubt actually happened later if you don't mention it to someone. I did film myself doing tai chi, the forces of Taiwan were strong that day apparently.
There is definitely something special in Taiwan, at least from where I see it, and yet it is so random I ended up here. I never would have predicted I'd be here, and who I am now compared to who I was 5 years ago, and who I thought I was trying to be...well as they say you have to experience Taiwan to understand what it's all about.
A funny thing is that I met another guy who studied Gao bagua, graduated from the university where I grew up, and is now into eclectic MA or whatever is happening now, and something interesting is a brewin'...
...we should make Taipei a place for an annual RSF blowout training, bbq, meetup, fight club, thing. Yes, I can see it now...
