Does anyone practice Tai Chi Quan? I've practiced it for several years and was wondering if anyone else has. I don't know too much about Wushu, but I know Tai Chi. Or at least the American style.

Qi Gong... is that chi kung? We do the Japanese spelling rather than the Chinese, don't know why, don't think it matters. Anyway, Chi Kung is kind of borderline against my religion... I don't really believe in like the actual Chi energy. I just believe in the power of concentration and focus. I don't want to start an arguement, it's just what I think.

Why is that relevant Emu. Does your religion prohibit you from taking tai chi? Because as long as you have faith in the fact that it works i don't see a problem that you don't beleive in chi. Unless your religion is for some reason against it you should be fine.

that program on BBC was called Mind Boby and Kick ass moves.
That guy in that show is Awsome. He is extreme. He broked bones when he was young so that they'll grow back stronger. He knows soo much about Martial Arts. I'd love to meet him.

hey guys, in my opinion breaking bones does't nessersarly make you a good martial artist . I'v been doing shotokan for almost 8 years and been doing kung fu for about a year and wu shu about half a year. my sifu stoped wu shu cos we did't have enuff ppl intrested in Wu shu, only about 12 ppl and we could't efford to do it inside with matts so we did it out side next to a sand pitt and in the winter my sifu gets bad pains in his knee so we stopped for a while but i still do shoalin Gong fu with a class mostly about 30-40 ppl. very honnord as our teachers a shaolin monk:D www.shaolinoxford.cjb.net

I guess this is the only place to post this, but I really feel the need to share. I have been working for some time on fingertip-stab moves. I've been able to break boards with double-index finger, double-middle finger, and single middle-finger, but I am proud to announce that I can now break a board with the pinky finger of my right hand! It was a weaker board, but still an accomplishment, I think. (Dynast held the board for me, thanks again, man. He can attest to this.)
Has anyone else heard of/seen skills like that being used in breakings, or in self defense, or otherwise?
I don't think it's unique to me, but I just wonder how common it is.

no it isnt....but i dont thinkit is that common either.. Shaolin monks teach a discipline called one finger or two fingered zen. They will strengthen there hands by plunging them, kinfe hand, into buckets of sand and gravel...they will hit sand bags with just fingers as hard as they can by swiping down about 2000 times a day and will practise hand stands and hand stand push ups on one finger to strengthen it even more.... very few people attain this level, and i think only two or three practise this discipline at the temple right now i have also heard of them striking trees and walls to make thier fingers stronger..that kind of work takes years of accomplishment but at the end they can strike and break most things with a single finger...esp bones it also requires a lot of qi gong practise..
