Funny stuffs LPY & okay I’m sure it’s hard both ways & try not to say think character think story & maybe that helps I don’t know I just do the best I can & then say to hell with it okay.
DT, don’t worry, and you are not stupid at all…college education never made a lame guy better, just appearing better…the same way, there are people who, without any academic education, can give you lessons on wisdom all the time 
Actually, one thing that I have came to observe is that at first the images you use in your posts make it a little trickier to understand. But then, after a little time, you go “ahhahhh!” and it al makes much more sense than pages of scholar words and descriptions…
Wandering Monk…it’s actually a tricky question you ask, for many reasons…first reason is that english is not my native language, and even if I am quite comfortable with it, I do lack some of the precise anatomic terms. No big deal, as I can always check a dictionnary…
But the second and third reasons (they are tightly linked) is that it is plain hard to explain it in words. Only the feeling of it really makes you understand…I would hear about the actions of the kua all the time, even sometimes with great theory…but I never really understood what it meant until I actually managed to feel it…now, I’m just starting to understand, and I have to apply it, which is even deeper…
I will try to describe it the best I can in another post, however I know it is doomed to remain incomplete and dull…
CP thanks & I give it my best shot okay & your saying about the kua to WM just the reason I have my students put their hands on me when I do it as they then feel & put what they see with what they feel & works better than books of words on it I think & this is just opinion & not fact okay. I find lots of stuffs this way & now students learn in days what took me months & to hell with poems stuffs for me from now on as it’s old way & not needed anymore & just confuse more than help most peoples from what I see on this thing as poems mean personal understanding which different for every person.
Kung Lek,
Don’t have weighted rings, too expensive to buy. I might borrow it from a relative next time I visit. Maybe I make my own when I find hte time.

about shoulder injury, I suggest you look it anatomically. If the injury was casued by over-training. It is probably the result of over-developing one muscle group over another. So, one part of the shoulder structure would endure more stress continously due to the imbalance. Also, when a shoulder technique is executed, more stress is placed on the shoulder structure supported by less developed muscle group. After repeated usage without correction, a chronic injury start to develop. The injury could also been caused by “recoil”, which the body absorbed the undissipated energy. That would be a problem if you execute the technique against air without something to absorb it. You should be able to avoid serious injury thru balance development of shoulder muscles (including the stabilization muscles) and avoid execute shoulder technique full force unless you have a punching bag infront of you.
This is based on first principle. Someone with first hand knowledge will help you more.
Cutter,
Thanks. I’ll check if I can find someone who does this type of drills.
Diamond Tanlons,
For what’s worth, I think a man’s heart is more important than his formal education. Some times when people get too “book smart”, they lose their humanity.
Crimson Phoenix,
Any more elaboration you can give is most appreciated. Don’t feel that you have to be able to explain it. I had already gained more than I expected. Even if you explain it perfectly, I still might not understand. Certain principle is too abstract to the inexperienced. Sometime, the concept is
so “revolutionary” to the listener, he’ll reject it off hand as impossible.
thanks guys.
