Breathing?

next time there is a martial arts event, let me know.

You’re not whippy’s alter-ego are you? Do you know him if not?

so answer my question :slight_smile: did his hard chi gung techniques work for you?

if I ever have a chance to meet you at one of these events I’d like to tell you something about him that would blow your mind. The problem is, gwai los tend to worship teachers like him and then you’d be even more in awe :smiley:

j/k…no offense intended :smiley:

besides Hau sifu, there are a few more men and women like him with uh, strange abilities that I’ve met. The rest, they make him seem normal!

Back to the topic.

Someone once asked Wong Shun Leung how they should breathe in Wing Chun.

He answered: “So that you don’t die”.

Nice one Frank:

Why complicate things? It is amazing what good stamina can do to your breathing… :wink:

It’s amazing what good chi control can do for your stamina.

Let’s answer the guys question

Breathe out during your force moves, like in weightlifting. Breathe diaphragmatically, meaning your diaphragm lowers when you breathe in. There are two schools of thought on the lower abdomen, expanding with the in-breath is called normal abdominal breathing, while contracting with the in-breath is called reverse abdominal breathing. These movements are independent of the movement of the diaphragm.

I am reminded of a story about Rumi. One day, he went to deliver a lecture in the town square. He started with the question, “Do you know what I will talk about?” “No,” responded the audience. So Rumi went home.

The next day Rumi came back, and started with the same question. The audience shouted “Yes!” So Rumi went home.

But whippinghand doesn’t seem to go home? :wink:

I don’t get it. Please explain Censored as I’m missing the moral of the parable… :confused:

Empty,

I’ve heard it this way (I mostly just lurk on the WC forum, not being WC. Sometimes I get interested. Eh.)

If you don’t know at leas SOMETHING about what somebody is going to talk about, it does no good for the lecturer to talk–it will all go over your head. Might as well go home.

If you know what they are talking about, the lecturer might as well go home, after all, what’s the point of staying?

However, from his last comment, it seems that Whipping Hand prefers to stay and go over the heads of those who don’t possess his level of knowledge and bore those who do.

And I always seem to spell possess wrong. Sigh.

If the lecturer knows what he’s talking about but the audience doesn’t, then he has an opportunity to educate, no? But if he leaves, he does not help. Whippy stays but instead of educating, he flaunts. He shows off his supposed superior knowledge by 1) mocking others through condescending posts and 2) not sharing anything substantial.

If only those who understand ALREADY know what he is talking about, then he might as well go home b/c 1) he’s not helping those who are ignorant and 2) those who already know don’t need teaching

btw, you spelled it right :slight_smile:

You ever heard of “not knowing enough to ask the right question?”

Certain things presuppose a level of knowledge on the part of the audience. I could ask all day about SLT and I wouldn’t learn a darn thing. Make sense?

So if they don’t know ANYTHING, then there’s no point in staying.

If they already know what you’re talking about, there’s no point in staying.

so if one supposedly knows but is reluctant to share, but only wants to “show” those that ALREADY know that he knows, what should he do?

leave? (it looks harder to follow than it really is. :slight_smile: )

what should whippinghand do?

If only those who understand ALREADY know what he is talking about, then he might as well go home b/c 1) he’s not helping those who are ignorant and 2) those who already know don’t need teaching

You CANT teach the internal side of things over the interent! The millimeter fine adjustments and specifice muscles that need to be identified (wheather for need of attention in regards to be used or turned off, or relaxed or used or a myriad of other things is extremely intricate) …to improve can only be taught in Person!

Yeah unfornunate, but thats life!

Here Here, Well Said S. Teebas.:slight_smile: I couldn’t agree with you more!!!
