sorry to hear you are having an unpleasant day...but i don't think anyone has decreed that their martial pratice has nothing to do with the level of strength or fitness of their bodies.....as i said previously "looks like people have different definitions of strength, are you referning to strength built up through the mobiliser muscles or the training of the postural muscles or the strength of will power or character" of course we all require a certain amount of muscular strength otherwise we would be slopping around in a bucket unable to stand upright. Perhaps what would be a more accurate statment is the difference between using the mobilisers through tension rather than the postural muscles and body alignment...I haven't mentioned qi at all, simply body mechanics..........and I never said my teacher was old!:boing2:Maybe I'm just having an unpleasant day, but I am having difficulty accepting the responses here where people seem to think that their martial practices, internal or not, have absolutely no relation to the level of strength and fitness in their bodies...
