Article about abandoning fajin?
Posted: Wed Jul 08, 2020 6:54 pm
Hello everyone,
I’ve been getting into Bagua recently, after not having trained in anything for a long time (and then, mostly Japanese martial arts). I remember an article that I read online years ago that I’m hoping someone can help me find.
I thought the article was either by Ted Manusco or Jerry Alan Johnson, but I could be wrong, and it was titled something along the lines of “can we stop teaching fajin?” or something along those general lines.
It wasn’t, as I recall, actually anti-fajin, but rather saying that fajin arouses some pretty unbalanced aspirations in some and seems to be focused on to the detriment of arguably more important things like sensitivity, etc.
Does anyone remember that article, the title and/or the author?
Anyone have a link!?
I did try searching, but fajin is to general of a search, and I don’t remember the actual article name.
Any help is appreciated
Thank you
