Warrior Monk Musings: March 2010
http://warriormonkmusings.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 31, 2010. I have always had a hard time communicating the energetics of Martial training to many of my friends who are Energy Workers and Earth Mysteries Students and I came up with this; perhaps it will be useful to you. Punching and kicking indeed! Back to Punching and kicking; are we developing real Martial abilities? Sometimes I feel that this state we enter is more akin to Shamanism than Martial Arts. The components of Shamanism are:. 1) The creation of Altered Space. The deep Artis...

Warrior Monk Musings: April 2010
http://warriormonkmusings.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 6, 2010. I certainly do not encourage this kind of thing. No seriously. Life is very serious now and I guess at this point in my life I’m not up to it. There is a birthright contained in the Psychedelic experience that perhaps is best saved for those coming of age. The weight of real responsibility has not been conferred upon them yet so they may walk more safely in that Garden of the Plant Teachers. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Warrior Monk Musings: November 2012
http://warriormonkmusings.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. Thank You One And All. Hi - back from China after months where Facebook is really banned, really silenced. In the past I have had many encounters in Teaching, Being a Student, Pushing Hands and Engaging in Online Groups with various Martial Artists. Here in the USA I am free to report my experiences and observations. People who moderate groups online are free to set ANY STANDARD THEY LIKE! I wanted so much to reach the Holy Grail of Fajin and studied on the side for years and...

Warrior Monk Musings: May 2010
http://warriormonkmusings.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 24, 2010. We move in Circles. Tracing shapes through Air. Marking paths into Earth. Wind and Time complete these figures. Almost as soon as they are made. These circles are not Lost to us. We take them in our Hearts. Into our worlds and our Lives. The way our bodies fit together. The way our paths come together. Will be with us Forever. So is it in the doing. Is it in the taking in. Or the letting go? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Goodbye 32, Hello 33!

Warrior Monk Musings: January 2013
http://warriormonkmusings.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 7, 2013. Here’s the deal, it appears to be necessary to learn good clean mechanical Fajin first. As one becomes more proficient, the exaggeration of bouncing into the feet or sitting with the pelvis becomes less pronounced. That is to say that the Useful Exaggeration that most of us go through becomes less useful. Level three Fajin done without a mechanical element grafted on to the end often looks like the partner has simply jumped backwards. Tuesday, January 1, 2013. A Search for Self.

Thursday, May 9, 2013. Where Did You Come To? What was the cost. What was the pain. How did you lose your way. How did you find yourself. What did you achieve. How did your goals change. Did you become a better person. How do you feel about what has happened. Was it worth it. What are you working on now. What’s next for you. How is the road opening up unexpectedly in front of you.

Warrior Monk Musings: July 2010
http://warriormonkmusings.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 2, 2010. It can happen. It did happen. With a moment to take stock of things I’m left to reflect upon recent events. What do human beings owe each other? Is it the grand vision of The Path, Universal Principles, the Martial Arts Honor Code and Soul Connections that lead inexorably to problems? What is my motivation in telling the tale? I’ll let you judge. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). It can happen. It did happen. View my complete profile. Goodbye 32, Hello 33! Well friends, It appears that bl...

Saturday, March 30, 2013. New and Old Training Methodologies. I am still looking to find Training Methodologies that go beyond Standing, Holding Postures, Doing the Form Repetitively, Push Hands Practice as I know it, etc. all of which do not seem to yield for me the Basic Skills that I would like to acquire. Well Bottom Line I want:. Reflexive control of the partner without “doing techniques” on them. Ability to stay in Taiji against very strong, uncooperative individuals who are not doing Taiji. I am c...
