Nice cleanup, IIF!
I was going to make one, but the last time I started a physical training for CMA thread it was colonized by wankers. :icon_cry:

i keep trying to get my sifu to come visit your class, but he is really stuck in his sunset area life, and has no car in which to get to oakland. Originally Posted by egg-nog puke

Please do. I was searching but, all the good stuff is buried in multiple threads of "IT IS BS."

Never heard of dao yin so I looked it up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_yin
First sentence brings up qi. Are there alternate explanations of what it is that don't rely on magical thinking? -

this has been gone over SO many times on this board...
IIF, i'm sorry for the derail, can we move the dao yin stuff to another thread, or do you not think that is needed?"Face punches are an essential character building part of a martial art. You don't truly love your children unless you allow them to get punched in the face." - chi-conspiricy

i know i will regret getting into this, but here's an example of non-magic dao yin:
YouTube- Daoyin Qigong Basic reclined Routine
this example is, essentially a core workout, and each position can be held for longer periods to make it tougher.
sort of similar to yoga, or certain exercises for grapplers. in this case it is being offered as a way to promote health by offering a low impact core exercise that is possible for anyone to do (this is not being marketed to martial artists, per se, but there are ways to make this sort of thing more demanding.)"Face punches are an essential character building part of a martial art.
