by the way, i was wondering why- halfway through the 'clip' ~1:48, the sound is screwy

[DPGDPG]

That section you are talking about was an entire seprate clip in itself that I attached to the whole clip. It did not have sound and was slowed down.

o when was this on TLC? where can i find the video/episode? this is awesom

[DPGDPG]

This aired 2002. You can find the video here http://www.psfp.com/martial.ht­m. This is a documentary on martial arts which only has a small section on CMA and even a smaller section with RWSmith.

@tantienbreather I can't figure out what you are referring to because I haven't commented for 3 months. If you are referring to what I said 3 months ago, I didn't learn that in a class but through personal experience. It is also what is taught in the Indian Philosophy of Advaita Vedanta. I like your comments by the way, I find them helpful.

@almagore1 You're late for your philosophy class! LOL

@smr144 - when you are engaged in a fight, what does it matter if it's a punch, kick, elbow, knee, joint lock, throw, or yes- EVEN A PUSH!! A technique is just that, a technique....... there's an old saying in our school: "sometimes you just have to hit people". Simply meaning apply what you need to save yourself or a loved one. Techniques are just a means to an end- push or not!!!

#1: @smr144 - First, Thank You for the Bare Knucklehead handle!! :-) Next, I was referring to the Push-Hands EXERCISE, not simply a physical push. I agree that in the footage the first push looks simply like a straight push relying solely on muscle, but as the clip fades that launch is anything but a physical push. I don't think he had that much muscle by the time he was that age. As for Yang Lu-Chang, you tell me, why would he spend so much time doing it if it was worthless??

[smr144]

@ContinuosChange Dear Bare Knucklehead, Then, what is the end of physically shoveling another man? Since when is that an application of an internal principle(s)??

[ContinuosChange]

@smr144 - you missed it knucklehead; it's an EXERCISE - a means to an end, NOT A FIGHTING TECHNIQUE!!!!

@almagore1 - aghhhhh, OK........
