Read this when it came out, really enjoyed it

Steven seagal taught anderson silva and machida some tai chi moves that they used in the ring effectively, I read somewhere

Check out sifu Glenn Hairston on YouTube and his site… He has some cool DVDs I’m gonna order soon, all about tai chi martial applications, coming from a former federal agent that has used them in the field….. I also…[Read more]

Michael,
I am almost surely going to visit Changbai Shan this year, with my father after I visit him in Shanghai… A decision entirely inspired by your article…. Do you think 2-3 days is too short? I am wondering also, if you could put me in contact with Ju Xi so we can meet him? Or if not because of his privacy or if it would be too much…[Read more]

Thanks for the response. What about the other yiquan postures, such as with hands a few inches over dantian, or another with arms perpendicular to the body, by its side and palms pointing down…. I found on the Internet that there were around 5 basic postures…. I can give a link if you like…. Which do you think would be more beneficial, doing…[Read more]

Were you bringing in the infusions in your carry on baggage? That would make sense because they don’t even let water bottles and contact lens solutions on carry ons, if it’s larger than a certain small amount. What happened with the infusion spilling in the luggage happened to me with shampoo before too, but usually there’s no problem and I always…[Read more]

“real” Açai is only in the north! I had some when i went to Belem do Para…… it tastes pretty bad but you get used to it….. it’s like a thick, dark, soupy, yogurt-like substance that tastes like gasoline or something like that….. in all other parts of Brazil the pulp when bought is already mixed with Guarana and banana and sugar to make it…[Read more]

hi diogowatson, I’m from porto alegre but live in Florianopolis… grew up mostly in the States though.

Brazil is definitely a country with crazy laws for everything… both my parents warned me about this new law though…

I came across 350 mg and 500 mg Goji berry pills here this week…. but from the info i got on this forum, this is…[Read more]

Wow I didn’t realize there was such a difference between the juice and the berries. I think I’ll go back to the store and see if there are any extracts, I saw some but don’t know how strong they are, and most were mixed with other things, such as açaí

My father said it is a new law by ANVISA, and they checking everything that comes through p…[Read more]

Ok… I think I’ll try taking 3 droppers a day,…

Thanks!

Thanks for the thorough answer.

I think I will do the same as you, and make 1 cup / bag, really strong… The tea is pretty nicely priced indeed…. I’ll probably be taking it with supper too or late afternoon… Since I’ll already be taking your advice and take the goji berry anf he shou wu before lunch when I wake up (lunch is my breakfast),…[Read more]

Thanks Steven, especially for points 2 and 3, which explain point 1…. None of that was clear to me at first because my knowledge of bodily functions and energetics, etc. is very limited and rudimentary… So thanks for explaining… After hearing this, it seems that is not a herb I would ever want to take….

As for the “will power”, I’m…[Read more]

I was thinking of the Gecko rock climber for more Jing, but you said

>I’ve never had this, but I know someone who has.
>He said that it is really potent, but it can also be “too potent” unless you are out doing a lot of rock climbing and >hiking like the gecko. You can start to feel too stimulated otherwise. A bit too yang. If you did get it,…[Read more]

Awesome, thanks for the advice… I will wait at least 4 months then check again…. I like those 4 too and am satisfied with the choice…
