Chi Kung for Health: Pushing a Stone Tablet

[Appledog]

This posture is for people to enjoy the morning air. Recommended 8 to 32 times daily. I really enjoy this stretch!

You're smaller than I imagined

I'm surprised you noticed. I was bending forward and shooting from a bicycle seat that I was using to brace the camera because the ground angle was facing down and it didn't look as good when I was standing up.

It was a joke! Why you always posting videos of the kids, man. Let's see you do these exercises with peak mastery!

There's no one to hold the camera.

Bruh, have I got a life-changing invention to share with you!

Ha ha I was sort of joking too, because it's a long thing to explain.

Essentially, those kids are 5th generation lineage holders. They are demonstrating the complete art, so there is nothing more you could learn from me. It's the same thing, there's no point.

On the contrary, they can't teach me the one thing I'm most interested in learning...

Then neither can I.

Perhaps you're more interested in today's new video? It's about Bajiquan Punching.

You're the ONLY ONE that can! I want to see you move, man. Show us your stuff.

There's no reason for you to want to see me move. I already showed you my stuff; that is why I made the youtube channel. As I already told you, you will learn nothing from me that you can't learn from the videos I posted.

It feels a bit like if you went to your teacher and asked to be introduced to his father so that you could learn from his father instead of him. I don't think that would be polite in Chinese culture. The videos I provide aren't really for teaching purposes anyways, but are more like chronicles, records, or demos. If you don't like the demos your not going to like me in the demos. It's the same demo.

Well no it's not about learning baji, it's about getting to know each other as people

Can you really do that on the internet though? Last month I was travelling and meeting a few people. Winnipeg, Toronto and San Fransisco. I kind of wanted to go to Orlando (to meet you -- I think that is near where you are, not sure) but I didn't have time to make plans. If I can't make it next summer maybe we could actually organize a big RSF meetup somewhere, maybe at an upcoming tournament? It will be a barbecue to remember and you can see me move... the hotdogs from the barbecue into my mouth.

I second that it would be cool to see a vid of yourself Appledog.

Not with that attitude.

Yes I'm near Orlando, but soon to be back in Austin, makin moves and stackin papers.
Connected with that I expect to have space to host a big RSF meetup in the not too distant future. "Bob" willing and the creek don't rise.


On the subject of your videos again, though. You said these kids are 5th generation lineage holders. Is that by virtue of their skill or birth? Are they your children? Are you the 4th generation lineage holder? Is that a particular type of baji?

Please don't be coy and make me tease it all out question by question, I'm not out to shit on anybody, just curious.
