Those so called "3 internal" CMA systems, it has value in health for old and sick, but without going through hard serious training, one can assume that he can become super human being, this idea has mislead the CMA development big time.

Today, I just heard another Chen Taiji teacher passed away in Houston, Tx at the age of 63. Compare to my long fist teacher who is still going strong after his 90 birthday. "Taiji for health" will need further prove. IMO, you can't maintain your health if you don't sweat.

Isn't working on strengh using maximal tension on the whole chain (as Tsatsouline suggests) taking the risk of being counterproductive for IMA though ?
