May 26	comment	What does it mean to “uproot” someone in tai chi? Yep. It is that simple.
May 17	revised	How does one progress from tai chi push hands to free-sparring? deleted 128 characters in body
May 17	comment	How does one progress from tai chi push hands to free-sparring? @sidran32 I don't like describing ladders of attainment. "No technique" is the minimum required to practice "no mind", otherwise you would just be flailing. The "no mind" I am talking about is more of investigating this bit.ly/hardcore-dharma-three-characteristics during push-hands.
May 16	comment	How does one progress from tai chi push hands to free-sparring? @DaveLiepmann It is an answer. Feel free to downvote it if you can't see the connection. I don't mind.
May 16	comment	How does one progress from tai chi push hands to free-sparring? @DaveLiepmann Like I said in the first sentence of my answer, "This won't be a popular answer."

May 16	comment	How does one progress from tai chi push hands to free-sparring? @DaveLiepmann sidran32 Aside from a few like-minded individuals and friends, most of the people I sparred with secretly try to win. That's not no-mind. "No-mind" is not really internalization of technique. It results from Vispassana practice (or similar variants).

May 1	comment	Should I avoid open-handed blocks in sparring? In other words, if you are going to punch, punch. If you're not punching, don't punch.
Apr 30	comment	Should I avoid open-handed blocks in sparring? Perhaps injury come from holding the open hand rigidly. Or sparring fast with lots of tension.
Apr 27	answered	How do I improve my attack speed?
Apr 23	comment	“Rules” for weight distribution per FOOT (not leg, foot) for any given stance/intent? @Campbeln cool, glad it helped. Let me know if you find anything interesting. I don't think my answer is complete.
Apr 22	comment	“Rules” for weight distribution per FOOT (not leg, foot) for any given stance/intent? @stslavik Sure, I've seen toddlers fail. They are usually learning with a child's mind though, unlike many adults. And bad habit does matter (falling too much on the inside of my foot over a number of years predisposed me to bad knees). However, I think the original poster is coming from the wrong frame, and this answer was intended to answer from a better frame.

Mar 28	comment	Demonstrations of Minimum Force Weren't we playing with this the other day? Addiction to self is hard to break.
Mar 11	comment	When should I run away? There are some arts that train avoidance instincts. I think you mean, "don't run away blindly." That's as exploitable as "charge in blindly."
