@WingChunMindForce Thanks for the lovely comment, Dave. Qi flow is a slippery topic because, quite frankly, there are not many people around that get it and can do it. Even ones that can do it aren't interested in showing it as they dont want the attention, and also there are different levels to it which are incredibly difficult to quantify. Due to it being so rare, it can be hard to wrap your mind around it, but fundamentally, it is absolutely a scientifically rational process and experience. But to study it and for someone to actually do it is incredibly difficult. I love that you have an incredible interest in it and find it to be profound because I feel the same way about it, too. My own experience with it was significant back when I was teaching and training at chi sau club for Mark Spence in 2012. I had some crazy experiences with my own students, and also, when I did massage treatments on my roommates, I was able to do things with it. Even doing the crazy hours (we're talking between 11-14 hours a day 6 days a week), it was still difficult to bring on Qi flow and it was also inconsistent. Some days you can, other days you can't. I haven't practised it for a few years, but I'm sure I can get it back if I could put that same amount of time back into it. Thanks for sharing that mate.

@@NimTaoWingChun I can't tell you how good it is to hear that you experience this and that you have actually used it for healing. Years ago there was quite a big online furor regarding nim lik and a lot of the authoritative figures were basically saying that only CST had it and that no one else will probably ever get it. I got in trouble a bit for countering in that, because that attitude really doesn't make sense to me. If you're going to do an art, what's the point of being mediocre, why not believe you can do what others do, they are only humans after all. Sigung in that last wish video he made, says I wish people would find a quicker way yet how many people have tried to find a quicker way? If you keep doing things the same way and getting the same results then maybe there is a better way. A story about him that you would know well is that he used to stand in the dark on the rooftop in Hong Kong with his tan sau out and just wait for something to happen. Does anyone do this? I mean there it is in black-and-white, that's what we have to do. Another one of the advanced practitioners from Adelaide, (both names start with T 😀) told me that because I'm an artist I have a big advantage because I'm able to hold very abstract concepts in my head and that I have extreme concentration through thousands of hours of drawing.. The memory is a bit blurry now, but I think it was 10 years ago when I had that experience, and the same guy told me to create a chi ball between my hands. I immediately started feeling it and playing with that feeling just really gently and it got stronger. Then I started , using these very light plastic balls and well that chi became a real entity, pushing my hands and pulling them and floating them. Then one day my wife had a terrible headache and I just for an experiment said to her let me put this chi ball around your head and almost instantly she said oh my god the headache is gone I just felt it drain out of my head! you are right of course it's very hard to describe this for the experience of it but what bugs me most is that we all should be doing this and why does no one talk about it. I've talked about it at conferences and on my channel, but I get subtle pushback from people who consider that I'm getting too big for my boots or running too far ahead of myself. I think we've just got to really work on this. Let's keep in contact together, I'd really like to hear how you go, and I've actually got other things I'd like to talk to you about, but not here. We must catch up maybe next time I get down to Sydney. Cheers mate you're a legend😀🐲

Are you talking about instructor Len?

@@NimTaoWingChun yes. Len Hollis

Lol yeah there are many keyboard warriors in youtube, there always will be. As long as you can demonstrate to them in person when they come into the school, they tend to join after feeling it. I had to dynabolt this dummy into the concrete because the whole thing would lift off the ground. Now it just bounces a lot, and feels a lot like a person bouncing off during force generation or chi sau. Thanks for the kind words. Cheers 🍻

Thanks, Rob.

Lol thanks mate. I trained under Mark Spence, and then worked full time at Chi Sau Club for a few years before starting my own.

Cheers. That's the idea, a bit easier to see what's going on.

Thanks for your comment. CST's method is applicable to all human movement. This means if you are doing BJJ or wrestling or tennis or football, if you can move your body with minimal muscular effort and expanded joints, you will be able to perform whatever you are doing at a much more efficient and higher level. Moving in the CST way will improve the quality of anything you do. Cheers!

Indeed it is!

Hi. I felt two different sensations. The first felt like a flow of liquid through his forearm - as though someone turned on a fire hydrant hose. The second felt like a thousand ants crawling up the inside of his forearm. Tingly like fizzy coke bubbles. Slightly electric.

@@NimTaoWingChun did sifu Chu Shong Tin achieve this qi power or nim luk ( shown in the video ) by only training Siu Nim Tao or other qi method ( other style such as shaolin qi method )? Thank you

@@GiaoLong-kkk Hi Giang. Only Siu Nim Tao helped him develop Nim Lik. Thanks

@@NimTaoWingChun Thank you so much. It helps me a lot. Wing Chun Viet Nam

Great news. Glad it helped you get rid of your pain.

From one session? I doubt it.

@@living4adrenaline Rolfing is ten sessions. You have the internet in your hands. It’s really easy to inform yourself before broadcasting your own misunderstanding. Hope you’re healing!

Well no doubt the fun part of it sounds similar. but yoga people don't have the same skills he does. I would say some of yoga is efficient to get power tho. Its kinda like being amazed at what a coincidence it is that two unrelated people have the same type of heart. If the whole spine thing is a real phenomena then we should expect it to be present in successful athletes from all over. In yoga we don't have positions like a push up, instead there's downward dog. And this conforms to the idea of balance, and strong structure versus just letting your muscles take it all and getting so sore. you can just do the yoga longer, and get strong and efficient. that's the same as our stance, easier but better.

Hey man, search “oshofosho” on Instagram . I have almost 100 sessions of me living out this “call by nature” I’ve been on and I’ve only known this woman exists today and this bodywork genre within past three days.

Just found today 👍

@@oshofosho3900 Just got this comment today. Thanks man. I'm not on instagram anymore but I'll try to check it out. Good stuff

In the beginning it is important to get the shape as correct as possible, but once you are more advanced positioning is less important. At high levels position doesn't matter at all. In this demo Sigung was helping me relax enough so I could get the right feeling. What stuck with me from this experience was the feeling - which is, lightness and effortlessness. The guy holding me (Sam) at first felt like he was very heavy and you see me using effort to move him (ineffectively). After Sigung's adjustment Sam no longer felt heavy - he literally felt like he weighed as much as a tennis ball. Because he felt so light I felt like I could have thrown him out the window. You can't see in the video but he went flying all the way back to the wall after Sigung adjusted me. Very cool feeling I remember. Thanks for your comment :)
