Harmony Yin and Yang
Submitted by michael young on 2013-01-12 13:11Me: Had a conversation recently. It amazes me how little some internal artists know about Tai chi theory and principles.
My tailbone sank!
Submitted by michael young on 2013-01-12 13:02Me: I felt my tail bone sink a couple of times last week. Simultaneous rising from perineum to dantien. No force or pushing, just release and feel.

Yin suction in the hands like water
Submitted by michael young on 2012-11-19 14:35I noticed today while doing arm swings, that when the arms moved out and expanded away from my body there was a suction feeling, almost as if water were being sucked into the palm. It had a very liquid feeling to it. I could feel a sort of turbulence in the flow. Very strange. The feeling of suction is right but i don't know about the rest of it.. I can feel the Yang expansion on the Yang surfaces at the same time.

Holiday break.
Submitted by tonyfu on 2012-10-21 09:06I have been studying martial arts since childhood, and I have to compliment Sifu Kelley's distance program. It is simply the best. He is doing something here that is truly a gem for those seeking deep teachings. The lessons are well designed and Sifu Kelley's ability to communicate what is important and let go what is not is quite impressive.
It is unfortunate that i haven't been able to take advantage of the lessons as much as I would like, and I will be focusing on work/business throughout the holidays.
The breathing in our art
Submitted by michael young on 2012-10-17 12:30Is it just me, or does the alignment of our structure in ILC make our breathing something that is like a combination of natural/diaphragmatic breathing and reverse/condensing breath? Unlike natural breath we don't pooch out the abdomen only, but the back also expands and we have a condensing at dan tien. and unlike reverse breathing we don't force the condensing through contraction.
Bitter pill
Submitted by michael young on 2012-10-16 11:11I haven't felt well today due to allergies. My whole body felt a little bound up so I decided to do some training and bitter pill. During the harvest, I noted that my fingers, in the area of the pads, felt full and a little heavy. The yang surface felt open and light or radiating. The rest of the yin surfaces of the hands felt like there were elastic bands pulling the fingers in and there was suction into the palm. I think this all fits! Yay! lol
