Why the drama, why not just say where the fingers go(according to you).....without secret wordsAppledog wrote:Trick wrote:Hehe, many people here can not answer but you can but you won't do
It's a pain because of the chaos that ensues when you say something that appears like new information to people who have valid experience-based knowledge, because it appears as if you are discounting the hard work and experience they have put in (even if that isn't the intention). So I were to explain it, I would prefer to do it like this...

In short, if we ever were to discuss it I think we would eventually come to the only conclusion possible. But you first have to have a way to determine why all the other explanations are wrong. In that sense past discussions have been clouded by people with incorrect or corrupted information. After all my research I believe I have discovered a clean path into the system, such that Taiji (in particular) can be opened up as a public art, i.e. "Open Taijiquan" ala Open Source, Open Office, and so forth. The question is why -- if that can't be answered it is illusory knowledge, and may cease to work in the future if "something changes". The second thing is that it should be formulated as an AMA, so that there is an agreed upon stage (my opinion) and moderator (myself). The last thing anyone needs is yet another dr. obvious. If you ask the question it would be assumed you are ready to accept the answer. That's important for such a discussion to happen.
As to exactly where your fingers go, everyone's meridian system is exactly the same and the function and purpose is exactly the same. The differences occur in precisely the particular application, the intention, or shall we use the secret word kakari which causes the frame to settle in various ways.
