Looks like a lot of good stuff throughout that part of Youtube

Jess, does he have anything out regarding Principle Ba Gua Hand Postures Single Palm Change clip?

Thanks

is he injured? "Limping" is not exactly the right word for it - but whenever he moves about he's clearly having difficulties.

Only watched that last one.....not my cup of tea....

but, how is he going to show anyone how to move correctly if he's crippled?

AFAIK he focuses more on meditation and qigong than the physical movements. He can still correct movements and postures with hands on instruction as well. Not the most efficient but he apparently can make it work alright.

...or 7!? what is he just the most unlucky guy alive, a drinker, or simply a non-driver. As a lineage holding Master it seems he would learn from his first mistake/crash, but 7, this instills little confidence.

Lineage holders and masters aren't any better people than you or I. They still have all the foibles that everyone has. Besides, martial artists with fighty pasts might be even more disposed to doing dangerous things than the average person. All IMO of course

For the most accidents, he wasn't even driving himself. Maybe he got wrong amulette from the daoists or something ...

[Bär]

The shit that comes out of people's mouths on the internet is astounding.

I like this video a lot, I'd seen the apps portion before, but not the form demonstration:

[Bob]

The bagua core hand postures have what caught my eye---add some rings and he is talking something I am somewhat familiar with.

Well, everything around Bruce was pretty much discussed to death, buried, written a small festschrift about with private publishing, planted flowers on with extra lawn, then exhumed, PM´d for cause of death, put back in the ground and put flowers on top of again on this thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2930

And Graham, no, not just by now also and, finally, blissfully,

And I still think I should have won the EF Comedy Post of the Year Award (nicknamed "the funny David") for my "EF Intervention"-post. Damn the jury, damn them all to Hoboken and back.

...and while seeing those clips on Youtube I realized I was actually at that retreat, which was way back when. It´s okay; the camera can´t see me anyway.


D.

Sarcasm. Oh yeah, like that´ll work.
