What styles of taijiquan have you studied?

The following typical threads that plague martial arts sites will get moved here if not just deleted: 1 - My style is better than Your style" - 2 - "Internal & External" - 3 - Personal attacks - 4 - Threads that start well, but degenerate into a spiral of nonsense.

I don't even know what bak hsing fut gar is. I study kendo. I'm not spouting the you have to inject steroids directly into your cock or it's not a martial art philosophy.

1. I'm saying fraud in the martial arts is bad for everybody.
2. Generally excepted faulty logic creates an environment where fraud can prosper.

I'm not sure why it interests or surprises people, that there is BS in martial arts. There is BS in all sorts of endeavors, and the matter of whether you get fooled generally works out on the basis of whether you have common sense or not. If you take it upon yourself to be a crusader against human idiocy, you have embarked on a long crusade.
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.

long? try endless.

Just remember, the only reason a sign exists to warn of the obvious is because some dumbass was too idiotic to realize it. Like warning people that coffee is hot, or not to open the airplane doors while in flight, or not to drink Drano.

universities were created to weed out a lot of the dross of intellect amongst humans. lol

engineering stamps take care of a lot of the rest and a Phd gives more weight to words than not.

not at all. but in context to subject matter, it is of some import.

i don't expect a physicist to be deeply knowledgable in subjects that are outsid ethe scope of his Phd, but in matters of physics, I would ask there first. :)
