"Martial Art MYSTERY System"? What's that?

[qiphlow]

you'll have to go to the seminar to find out, brother.

[edededed]

Interesting that he learned several styles of xingyiquan before... Didn't know that...

Mystery - maybe michuan, that kind of thing?

[shawnsegler]

I'd go if I was there. Absolutely for sure. MJG knows some amazing stuff.

Baguaquan is like "da mystery of chessboxing" You must think...before you move.

S- been listening to way too much WuTang clan lately.

[mixjourneyman]

My life is mysterious enough.

Today I work up and I had hair... growing.... in my no no place.

WTF?????

[shawnsegler]

I don't believe that you have a no no place.

[qiphlow]

some mysteries are best left undiscovered.

[mixjourneyman]

I don't believe that you have a no no place.

Well it would make more sense if I was not anatomically correct, but I am, so there you go.
Sorry, I will officially stop derailing the thread now.

I'm pretty much willing to agree with qiflow. As far as mix's body is concerned, it's ALL "no no" for me.... (or perhaps more accurately "NOOO! NOOOO!!!!")

Must resist urge to derail thread even further....
Must post something about seminar......

Micheal Guan will be there. He has a no no place too, or at least from what I hear.....

But seriously, I want me some mystery martial arts!

Hello Everyone

This is Lonnie Neer I thought I was banned but I guess I am not. I will be careful to only be nicinice.
I am a big fan of this baguaquan of MJG (open body method rules) he has worked tirelessly for many years delving into orthodox Yin Fu Baguaquan. Baguaquan IS a mystery school and even though there are few secrets today this does not change the in depth work this dedicated practitioner has done.
If I where in the Boston area I would attend this work shop. We always have a lot of great hands on training to express the princibles in the intensive. Real good martial arts work is always accomplished along with the mystery transmission and knowledge discussed.

Even if you are not a baguaquan person there will be great info that you will be happy with transmitted at our intensives. It is how we roll.

Like Shawn if I could go I would go in a Boston minute, that is longer than a New York minute I think.
I am shamelessly plugging my teacher I think that is behavior that is aloud on EF.com ?

P S if you bane me again let me know why THX
