I loved it! that was an awesome ba gua video, most of the other videos I've seen do almost all pushes and palms, this was the best
I agree, but I'm curious, to what point does the "style" of it need to be retained? In TKD for example, very high spectacular kicks are part of...
that's fair, agreed. I take respect for skills and ability on an indevidual basis, like someone said earlier, some tai chi instructors practice...
oh, I misunderstood, sorry, I thought you were saying you'd stone wall someone in a demo
yeah, :) that's what I'm trying to say, video guy was being very pleasant and humble so he wouldn't be someone I'd take issue with, for that he...
I've never see any demo where someone was completely beaten bloody by a martial artist, so either they're all being "candiru's" or demo's aren't...

lol, hey good point, lets assume they're close to the dojo and had to step out a minute
that's a great question. I'd say that whether the gi makes it more or less likely that they'll get mugged depends on if the mugger thinks "that...
if you have the speed and mobility to slip than it's definitely a better option, the disadvantages of a block is that it takes up an arm and...
