The Tai Chi websites and the kind of people they attract

The following typical threads that plague martial arts sites will get moved here if not just deleted: 1 - My style is better than Your style" - 2 - "Internal & External" - 3 - Personal attacks - 4 - Threads that start well, but degenerate into a spiral of nonsense.

American Tao is all well and good, but he should really get down with the Merkin Tao (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkin)

I am not slagging it. I was posting based on marketing. There is the birkenstock with socks and dual airbags or this is what we got and what we do...

this also is an example...

Grand Celestial Do uses Photonic Energy as its power source. Is this energy the same as "chi" or "ki" in eastern martial arts?

Photonic Energy is a totally different type of energy than "chi" or "ki" found in Earth-based martial art systems. "Chi" does exist, but it is a very primitive form of energy and very low on the evolutionary scale. In fact, the Visitors scoffed at the use of "chi," because of how weak it is compared to Photonic Energy.

Actually it's pronounced photonic energy'er....much deeper than simplistic energy

or maybe THAT's what ji'er is... *smacks forehead*

For personal testing purposes, I have entered three local martial art tournaments and won. I entered the Michigan State Karate Tournament in April 28, 1989 in the full contact sparring division and won first place in my weight class. I basically put on a karate uniform and said I was a black belt, so I will be accepted. Winning the tournament was very simple. In October 9, 1991, I entered the West Detroit Open Kickboxing Federation Championships. Once again, I took first place in my weight class with a first round knockout in the finals. In May 18, 1996, I entered the Michigan Fightsport Challenge (an amateur mixed martial arts competition). I was the oldest competitor there. I defeated my opponent in 32.8 seconds. What technique I used or how I did it, does not matter. Grand Celestial Do does not focus on punches or techniques. It is how the Photonic energy is being used and manipulated that matters. I or any of my advanced students can enter any professional martial art tournament, mixed martial arts cage match, wrestling matches, ect., and can easily win. It would be completely frivolous. Once they can fully channel the energy and have the strength of a bulldozer, they know they can defeat anyone. Why even try it? My students are taught not to use Grand Celestial Do for fame, money, or personal gain. Actually, I don't really have to teach them. Once they are invigorated with the energy of the universe, they are totally content and at peace with themselves. They know what their mission on this earth is. "


I wonder how would Grand Celestial Do would fare in Montreal? ;D

I bet it would be called simply "Celestial Do", because "Grand" will probably cause certain folks to challenge that -- ya know, with a camcorder, a piece of paper and with repeating "stay back" a lot.

Hmm, Monty Python comes to mind... "We are the knights who say 'Stay Back!', and we want some shrubbery!!" ;D
