Thanks for the kind words Tom )
Yes all these topics and people you mention are coming up in the next episodes, Li really covers a lot of ground.
Putting aside modern revisionists who would debunk anything older than 200 years old as pure myth (whatever that means.....one only has to reference the recent HK academic book debacle to see an example) we can start to listen, really pay attention, to the great wisdom contained in the oral teachings of the old lineages.
Li is basically saying that Damo's teachings of transformation of body/mind underly all original Baguaquan , and once informed most Chinese martial arts, but the deep teachings have been mostly lost leaving a shell of simple exercise sets.
Will post more very soon....thanks to Li Baohua for sharing so much, and to everyone for watching our channel. And to Tom, who is also a jewel, his body honed through long practice into something resembling a whiskey bottle...
