打人如拔草/Da Ren Ru Ba Cao – Striking People is like Pulling up Grass

手足齊到定要贏，若是手到步不到，打人不得妙，手到步也到，打人如拔草。

“When the hands & feet arrive simultaneously you are sure to win. If the hands arrive but the feet do not arrive, striking people won’t be clever. If the hands arrive & the feet also arrive, then striking people is like pulling up grass.”

 

Just a little sample of what I’ve been working on. I should have the remainder of Yue Fei’s Thesis finished by mid April. The Bagua & Tanglang treats will continue, as well. Enjoy!

Uncle Sickness

Hello, I'm your Uncle Sickness. My study of martial arts & Daoist philosophy began in college & has carried through the rest of my life. In that time, I've learned Ba Fan Shou, Tan Tui (10 & 12 Road versions), Taijiquan, Tanglangquan, Baguazhang, & my personal favorite, Xingyiquan. In addition, I've studied a number of popular Qigong styles & meditation techniques.
