“I conclude that innate talent is not the absolute cause. In my view, for cultivator cultivation, Qi is the mainstream, the body is the container, the spirit is the height, the heart is the engraving, and the soul is the root. Missing even one of these five temperings leads to blocks. Integrating these five temperings opens the Great Path..."

I published an article on X today talking about my martial arts journey into baguazhang and how I believe it applies to the modern world. Enjoy!

I’m very grateful for my relationship with Baohua Li Laoshi! With his generous support and teaching we are able to enjoy the treasure of Magui Baguazhang and share it with everyone

This is the way! I commented to my teacher that I was under the impression that our Triple spearing palm was done fast, he responded:
“Why would you think that? It’s not done fast, just do it right so you have power and balance!”

Practicing every day isn’t necessarily glamorous or cool looking enough for public posting. In fact, I’m often focusing on a particular principal or aspect of training that leads to me giving up other portions of the movements - too many keyboard practitioners. This is objectively wrong and would be criticized.As a challenge in this clip, I’m focusing on a specific part of the double palm change instead of telling me what I did wrong; Can you tell where I’m trying to improve?

Our teacher at the 500 statues of Rakan. We study these monk statues to learn more about structure and spiritual growth.
