"It's my
belief that the internal styles have become too stylized
and the principles of the internal arts are overlooked.
Teachers are worshiped instead of students seeking to learn the art. Students and teachers seem to be concerned with looking
exactly like their teachers, or pictures of the masters,
instead of studying how the principles of the internal
arts teach and improve our lives. Or how to apply the lessons of the art to their own body and lives." "Students of the Xin Qi Shen Dojo are here to study the art, principles and functions. It's more important to have one movement that is understood and natural than to know several forms superficially. Quality and integrity, not quantity or performance."
"Students should
practice instead of theorize.
"Just think about the
practice time wasted writing blogs!" |
