  1. I'm convinced the founders of the internal marital arts - #neijia - were #neurodivergent / non-neurotypical.
    It's just too much of a coincidence that the practices all help managing various ND traits, and are so much 'not normal' with respect to the vast majority of martial arts.

  2. Had a very good practice session this morning. After a long time and a lot of work I can do the Baguazhang 8 animal forms with my eyes closed. This has really improved my balance and my ability to listen to the inside of my body.

    If you practice a martial art with forms, I highly recommend practice with eyes closed or blindfolded. It's a fantastic experience.

  3. I enjoy stance training or zhan zhuang. It is my favorite sort of meditation and in spite of what some folks say, I think it brings quite a bit to fighting. Strong legs, relaxed nervous system, strengthened postural muscles.

    Try taking a stance and spending 30 minutes just standing breathing and relaxing.

  4. Just finished a very good Baguazhang workout under the moon.

    I am content tonight. 🙂

  5. It has been a wonderful day. I did a lot of training. It's really cool to feel the progress of years begin to pay off as my body becomes a more comfortable place to be.

  6. Baguazhang this morning was very good and cleansing. A lot of junk in my heart and mind was released. For me, my martial practice is intensely healing, it goes beyond fighting into nourishing life.

  7. This morning saw a good practice. Did my neigong and some Baguazhang practice.

    I adore doing the basics!

    Later some flexibility work and my 100 kicks for the day.

    Kung Fu means Work and Time.

    My first Tai Chi teacher said it best: "Give them the right method and work the hell out of them."

    Still working like hell!

  8. ChatGPT is exactly as ignorant as expected. Here is an intentionally misleading question:

    "The martial arts style Wing Chun is notoriously difficult to learn. What makes Baguazhang so much easier to learn in comparison?"

    Stay tuned for the answer..
