I've been teaching English (privately for many years now) and sometimes martial arts. Since I've lived here nine and a half years does it still count as a trip?
I looked at the video (VPN is strangely working today). It looks very fluid and the Doujin isn't bad. Is that you? I might suggest training it on a heavy bag.
Yes, I knew some Baji people in Guilin. Good stuff, but, as I was learning Xinyiliuhequan it didn't really offer me anything that I don't already have.
I used to train hard for over five hours a day, six days a week, outside in the heat or cold. These days it's more like three and a half, five days a week. I stopped training stuff that doesn't get my heart pumping. I felt that it was negatively impacting my cardio and thus sparring.
But fuck Gongfu. My real passion is for adventuring.. I'm feeling serious withdrawals here...

But it nearly killed me. Thank God I did it, though, because I unexpectedly had to leave and come to the North, leaving my master and most of the adventuring behind. It was worth it. I got most of the photos I wanted and "graduated" from my master. Now I'm bored here, but have a lot of time to put together my system with everything that I learned..

haha!
The standard interpretation of a guy who still does and believes in the value of forms. I have years and years of heavy bag work.
I'm not offended though, I don't care. Anyways, I really enjoyed your photo's. Amazing adventure. your lucky.
Yes you are right about the cardio, it must be maintained separately.
Thanks

Nice story. Thank you for sharing. You should put together photos and stories from your adventures and publish a nice looking coffee table type of book. You are a gifted photographer, that book would sell.
Have you thought about it?
