Two Westerners discussing Eastern martial arts from the opposite side of the globe. I LOVE IT! 🙂👍💪👏

Facts

[@kaisekiryori]

The reason good practitioners tend to be v low key and quite hard to find is because most of those people do not view taiji as a commodity to be sold, would be crass in TCMA culture to blow your own horn.

[@shiwan01]

That's a good observation. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@ShorelineTaiChi]

Yes, that's what I thought too, until I went behind their closed doors.

[@YangTaiChiKungfu]

You should interview Damon Bramich.He is a former push hands champion, ranked in China duan system, 5th generation Yang Taiji under Fu Zhongwen/Fu Shengyuan. He studied Taoism way back when with Mantak chia.

[@daoi]

Thanks for watching, and thanks for the suggestion.

[@ptarter]

Mr Bentley mentioned in an interview with Dan Miller being from Lexington. Is there a group training internal arts there?

[@shiwan01]

Small informal groups.

[@ptarter]

@@shiwan01 is there a way to possibly meet up? I live in Georgetown

[@D.RossyMario]

I'm sorry. This was an egocentric, self-centred monologue. Not an interview. And with a basic skilled Taiji Quan practitioner. More than an hour to answer what others answered in less than 5 minutes... There've been other interviews that have been great and nourishing for our enrichtment; last I saw was with Mr Ranné from Germany, it was one of the best interviews here for sure; thanks for that. Thank you and keep going🙏
