the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

Just gonna drop this right here...

I was in Brussels, Belgium, last week and this weekend visiting an old school friend. I was fortunate to attend a workshop taught by Gabriel Mizner. The experience made me realize that I was wrong about Mizner. Will be posting breakdowns of what I learned this week and check out my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/one_manstam... as I will posting up my adventure overseas there.

Seems like a typical reaction.


Introducing Matt from his channel Funkalopigus, sharing a couple of stories of his first hand experience of being thrown around by Adam Mizner at a Heaven Man Earth Tai Chi workshop and describes beautifully how it felt.


Within some of the Chinese wechat groups, Adam. is held up as an example of good taiji skill.
By many long time taiji practitioners some quite skilled in their own right...

thought it was going to be you, origami_itto. darn. it's a pity videos these days have to seem click-baity and sensationalized. but yeah, (speaking from the pov of someone with no skill getting pushed by someone with skill), it doesn't really make sense when you get "pushed". difficult to describe.

off topic - my inbox is full, but origami_itto - I didn't sign up for qigong. hope I'll get around to it a different time.

I've almost got the nerve to start posting some talkies. Planning to start a twitch stream Wednesday if I don't chicken out.

No worries!

I just listed the full set and the form in the store on my blog if you follow the links around.

oh, also good job to him (the guy with the crazy mustache) for admitting he was wrong and apologizing, I suppose. and cool he's using something from the workshop already at his jiu jitsu. 17 years younger me would be motivated to do all that.

ah thanks will try to go and have a look soon

April fools!

lol so basically this guy is a complete dickhead?

Should have known that from the moustache.

oh you can definitely tell from that.

Yup, I was correct. He added this in his comment:

"Please double check the date of this video of it being posted and published."

Correct!

That is a very, very, niche April Fool...

Yeah...
They were preening about it though, days of "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CHIDOPHILES ACTUALLY BELIEVED HIM!!!"

Like... yes, I take people at their word until they show me they're a liar.

lol super, super niche. it's funny how he thinks he's laughing at "us" and "we" are laughing at him.

As Mr. Bennett (Jane Austen) wisely said:

“'For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn? '”
- Pride and Prejudice

Well it's from that mindset where saying something shitty and then responding with "What's wrong, Karen? Triggered?" when confronted about it is considered high character.

I have to remind myself that the adults on the internet stopped maturing at 13.
