something I was thinking about as I skimmed this thread -
I personally don’t believe a lot of the internal claims but a friend of mine who happens to be a physicist does and loves this stuff.
I’ll recommend for people to go and see for themselves to see what they think. You can’t see it in a video even if it does exist in the ways that’s described. But, as someone said, that’s an expensive town for a seminar.

I also came to this forum thinking that people were mostly like this:
But, as it turns out, they’re mostly more like this:
So it’s better to not take anything seriously and dig for the hidden pearls when you feel like it. Flipping out over the passive-agressive posturing made by some douche who posts on a computer with his alimony settlement from the confort of his trailer is not worth it.
You will find that the great majority of martial artists are more like the monkey than the meditator. 
I like to be a little of both, yin yang and all that eh?

Agree 100% there.
Our skin will get thicker and thicker day by day when we stay on this forum. Many years ago, words such as “clueless”, “old fashion”, … used to bother me. Today, words such as “MF”, “SOB”, … will just make me laugh. Not sure the chang is good (have more tolerance) or bad (lose self-respect).

more acceptance and tolerance, in my opinion has more value in living than a perception of self respect. If you are an amicable sort of fellow, keep good hygiene, adhere somewhat to the 8 fold path or something like it, then there is no self respect to lose by entering into discussion with those who cannot avoid the use of foul language or rely on belligerent harping to try and make a noise.
respect is earned and given to those who can make their point, yet still tolerate viewpoints of others and who accept that not everyone will accept correction when they are blatantly wrong.
anyway, that’s their problem. 
I try to find the good in all things, the good in all posts and that is not always easy to do, LOL !
Most post are legit cries for help and understanding about the MA, but sometimes there are personal issues there and those are hard to deal with.
Delusional people and MA seem to go hand-in-hand, but most people are stuck in THEIR own reality and until they can expereince another, that is the only reality they have.

Instead of thinking of people as being close minded perhaps you should first consider that they may have experienced it. And from this experience they came to their own educated opinion. This does not necessarily pertain to the seminar in question but seminars like it. I never hear people express this view. People who do not like another’s view often think of him as close minded when really he is just different minded.

I think David Jameson did.

she lives in a bubble apparently…you know, seeing as exactly NOBODY said anything of the sort.
we just have to let these trollshido tards go. 
Dale is up front, and out there. Credit where credit is due. Like everybody, I take him at face value, take what he says to be true to him. He seems to be living the life like a man on a mission. He seems to have the goods, so, does it matter where they came from?
But still, like the saying goes:
Q: “What do you feed a 300lb Canary?”
A: “Whatever it bloody wants.”
Hey Dale, 
o:o
airfare is pretty cheap. im sure dale can offer this same open door policy at a different time, not just during this event. take a vacation, go let dale school you, get back to us.
if you cant afford the air fare, get a job. it only takes one day, no need for sleeping accomidations. fly in, test, fly out all same day.
lucas,
dont you get it? empty challenges will never be met! this kids got no guts, heres a guy who is trying to discredit someone based SOLEY on his lack of knowledge about it and when confronted , he then comes up with ALL kinds of excuses.
he can be taken less seriously then the wannabe internet tough guys who think thier bada$$ by challenging sifus online whilest hiding in their mom’s basement from the safety of thier keyboards.

I usually end that conversation by stating, “Oh, so you stayed for the ENTIRE weekend class?”

I thought that happened the day we chose the name “Martial Science Collective”…
i was really just being an ass. i do that sometimes. but not maliciously, its more like a jack ass than anything else.
i dont think a challenge was issued though. dale offered up his constant; come to me, see for yourself, then judge.
his offer simply wasnt accepted.
which really i dont see anything wrong with that, but if someone tells me they can do something and i say they cant and they say come watch me, if i dont go watch, i stfu. even if i dont believe it to my core.
that is my breed.
but the only way mysertious power will know any different than simply his assumption that it doesnt work is to go and be proven wrong. SO if he wont even do that so this thread will never end and he will never know if he is right or wrong and continute to live in ignorance…
just because youre 300 pound monster like from the movie 300 doesnt mean u dont need to explain urself. wots the deal wit non contact qi control?
the seminar doesnt acgtually teach non contact qi control but the description of the seminar says non contact qi control. what up wit that?
im guessing its a push hands seminar lol

just out of curiosity, why? how?
and who is teaching this? Dr. Painter? is he a licensed healthcare practitioner? if it’s not him, then who? TBH, if it’s not a licensed healthcare practitioner who has spent at least 1,000 hrs. successfully treating people with verified medical diagnoses using this method, I’d be somewhat skeptical of that claim; but that’s just me, I tend to call BS on pretty much anyone who talks about “energy healing” or the like (not saying this is energy work, but it sounds like it is in that realm)…
