Can you give the time stamp where he said, "one can only lead by change?" Ralston never showed that. He clearly showed the opposite: How to not deflect, but lead the opponent by allowing him to continue on his energy course. Otherwise, the opponent can change.
It's a shame a good teacher like Ralston spends the time to clearly explain a concept. Then, the student does not get the concept taught. Instead, the student misunderstands the lesson to be the exact opposite.
must be the medium, I never said "he" said that.
"I" said that. "one can only lead by change" what has to change, why, timing, and how is another matter.
Not going to argue what you see and understand vs what I see and understand...no point. His clip is for those there, not for those viewing here. They get it and can feel it, or ask about it..Some here seem not to....its not the point of this thread btw.
If one has questions about the clip, its pretty easy why not just ask Peter about it,
or better yet attend one of his seminars.
some say he doesnt do or know taiji...mmm
Tai Chi Body-Mind
So who is this course for? It is for those who practice a set of t'ai chi movements but who want to go deeper with it, make more progress and develop in the ways they dreamed when first taking up t'ai chi. It is also for those t'ai chi players who want to improve their relationship with their body and develop a more effortless and effective level of physical skill in whatever they do.
This course was created for you by Master Peter Ralston. Ralston began studying t’ai chi at the age of 19, having already had a decade of martial training, and having achieved several black belts in different arts. Over the years he studied with top teachers in the US and Asia. In 1978, when he won the full contact World Championships held in China (the first non-Asian to do so) he was acknowledged by the World T’ai Chi Conference as winning his fights with t’ai chi (apparently his name was the only one mentioned at the conference).
As far as it's known, no one has ever used t’ai chi so effectively in such a full contact tournament. He has studied and taught t’ai chi for 40 years, and is considered by many to be the most authoritative mind in the field of internal martial arts today.
