the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

Shaolin master Shi Heng Yi reveals the truth about chi (ki) energy.This is what internal Kung Fu styles, Tai Chi and Qi Gong is about. Don't miss the demonstration at the end!

Looks/seems too click baity… didn’t watch

It's actually a pretty fair and realistic treatment of the subject. He is definitely going for engagement, but at the end there is a good pushing hands type demonstration.

it's an age of tik tok and AI writing click bait headlines so AI algorithms can surface your content to more human eyeballs

guess I should not judge a book/video by its cover/clickbait style headline #getoffmylawn #amIboomer #IamKaren

watched some beginning and end quickly and agree with you.

Yes, I just watched the last few minutes of the (more or less) pushing hands section. The Shaolin guy gives a good explanation of how he makes it work, looks quite good quality. A pity it stopped there: I was thinking he could then do the same thing at higher speed (i.e. 'soften faster'), working from a natural stance instead of a low stance, and move Enkamp correspondingly fast. Pass through his stiffer structure and send him back a yard or two at immediate touch, without throwing one's own body weight forwards. Not hard to do if you've got the basics as demonstrated by the Shaolin guy.

Does the Karate Nerd have ADHD? He can't be still for even one minute. Or did he just want to interrupt and be annoying? Disrespectful attitude regardless what.

And so what if he does? Do you have autism?

So what? It’s disrespectful to interrupt and not do what a teacher says. I can see how irritated Shi looks.

Autistic? Are you?

Is it more or less disrespectful than making a joke of someone's disability?

I would say more

- me who probably has ADHD and not offended if you asked me

It is just his stick to seem overexcited
Others here I would not dare to diagnose but there is something going on

Damn, don't be so sensitive. I asked a f-ing question, I did not make a statement. It's about a karate senior who doesn't even know how to treat a teacher with respect. All they speak about in Karate is respect. So there must be something as he didn't even learn the most basic lesson in Karate. He looks ADHD-ish, you can give it a better word if you understand better what's wrong with him.

You know I sometimes get a little excited, need to step back.

I shouldn't expect anything from the world but disappointment at this point but I'm a hopeless romantic and hold out hope for a brighter day

A perfectly reasonable explanation.
