Standing meditations in Ichuan have many "detours" or dead ends, distractions and in some cases dangerous practices. Fong Ha talked about 1000 hours basic practice of stillness, but not in those exact words. Some will just get lost in the woods in spite of good advice. #ichuan #standingmeditations

Fong Ha often said "nothing is all good or all bad."
also
"you can always improve."

Fong Ha. He was a guide, a teacher. Orphaned in Canton just before WW2. Comes to Hong Kong and eventually the US. The stuff he saw during his life hard to truly appreciate unless you met him. #ichuan #fongha #taichichuan

Dr.Yu, Yu Pengxu. I remember hearing Dr and Mr. As is the case often with first generation Cantonese and some Mandarin speakers family name comes first. He came to the Bay area late in life with his wife. She is still alive maybe and taught his art in
SF. #ichuan #yiquan #internalchinesemaritalarts

Bouncing is alot like rolling in Aikido and taking a throw in Judo. When you get good at it, there big fun in getting pushed across the room. Airborne...It is not as harmless as it may look. There is way more to it than meets the eye. #ichuan #judo #aikido
