Some IMA Applications from Bas Rutten

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.

Robin, I know what you said, when you do, you'll be able to explain to hold true to yourself.

I always knew that the fortune cookie, er, process resembles dumping a load.

I know what Yiquan is, I think your missing the point, those are just training methods, don't worry about them so much, but what is common in all of them, and where do they lead to in the end.

Oneday someone said, "I teach Taiji but I don't teach Taiji Chuan". Even today, I still don't understand what he was talking about. I can understand that if you develop your Taiji from your form. Later on you take drills out of that form and only train those drills. I don't know how to learn taiji without the form to start with. It's like go to school without text books. Can that even be possible?

John, you really need to reading the posts, not take words here and there and turn it into something else, are you a Jahova Witness by chance ?

I did not say I learned directly from Wang, I said the internal method was from his line of practitioners.

A: Who is your Taiji teacher?
B: I learned from Yang.
A: Did you learn from Yang Jwing-Ming?
B: No, Yang Lu-Chang.
A: But Yang Lu-Chang (1799-1872) died at 1872?
B: I said my Taiji was from his line of practitioners.
A: ???

Sure, it's possible! You can start by training taiji's internal core body method, then learn how to apply it to technique (via forms -- sequences of techniques) AFTER you've developed the internal structure/power. In taiji systems that retain (and teach) an internal power component, you can learn specific things to do with your body to develop structure and power. Those exercises and drills can be practiced separately and outside of forms. Then they can be used to power the forms when the students start learning forms.

If you start with technique-sequence forms, then the students don't know how to generate power internally, and have to either walk through an "empty" form devoid of any understanding of what each movement "means," or else thtey come to rely on whole-body pivoting, "outer" hip torque, momentum and other conventionally "external" methods to try to make sense of where the power comes from. It can create a lot of bad habits that will impede future use of internal power once it is learned (if it ever is). IMO, it makes more sense that taiji be taught either as "internal power"+ technique simultaneously, or internal first, then technique. But technique first, then how to power it internally, seems ass-backward to me.

I don't know who you are quoting John, none lines you wrote with your A's and B's came from me.

I only said my line of standing came from Wang.

I have read stories and books by those names, and if someone here has not,IMO they should. Good reading, right along the lines of internal theroy and application.

John, the post above about Tai Chi set, the set is just application techniques, you will not get Gong from doing sets. You will just get an empty shell from sets by themselves with no other core training.

This has got to be one of the funniest threads I have seen here yet ;D
I mostly lurk, get some good ideas and often get a good laugh
It's amazing but they do walk among us... I lurk a lot, get lots of good laughs and even learn something every once in a while. And yes I do actually practice Tai Chi Chuan... and other stuff daily.
