Anytime I train throwing hands, I have a slight soreness in the yin cavities of my arms for a few days. It's not painful. From what I understand this is a normal experience when conditioning the white tissues. Is this right?

Something I've noticed is that during training I get loosened and more open in my tissues so that I can feel more. However, the next day I generally feel very tight and unable to get back into that same feel that I had the day before.

I never joined this site to train in Iliqchuan. My original intent was to learn ancient Chinese secrets in order to give legitimacy to my previous training. Lol. But, as I began training along with Sifu Kelley, I realized that I was already training the Iliqchuan feel. So, I decided that if I ever resumed my previous training it would be from a different view and perspective. Over the last few years I have not been the best student but have done the work enough to begin to get some internal feel. This past week I went for my second visit to Tucson for live training.
