No wonder the Bagua and Hsing I people roll their eyes about a lot of TJQ.

Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 9:07 amYes the main points about this performance is that the knee going over the toes makes me cringe when I see just for the sake of her own health, and the amount of both a) bobbing up and down and b) not doing body as one moevment.
It looks good one level but doesn't look internal at all.
