Darth Vader demonstrates tai chi sword form

The various lightsaber training methods were largely devised by the Jedi Order, with other organizations borrowing elements for their own use. Most of the Jedi training elements were established by the Shii-Cho, which would continue to find a niche as a tutorial form. In order to teach students to draw upon the Force rather than rely on their senses, early level Shii-Cho blast-deflect training was conducted with a blindfold, forcing the initiate to rely upon his instincts. Later training was conducted through the use of sequences and velocities, the continuous repetition, making the moves instinctive reflexes. These training regimens were carried over to all following lightsaber combat forms, which used similar methods.

One might not immediately have really clear conception why tai chi practice have been earlier so different compared for example to presently popular Yang style slow easy Chinese ballet style.

So there have been really seemingly serious need to have skills to defend one’s village or some well paying merchant.

Anyway I personally would try to retain or maybe regain all essential aspects of movement and displacement without necessarily trying to attach those into core sequences.

Aleister Crowley was born Edward Alexander Crowley in Warwickshire, England. He was an influential English occultist, astrologer, mystic and ceremonial magician, responsible for founding the religious philosophy of Thelema. In 1895 Crowley, having then adopted the new name of Aleister, began a three year course at Trinity College, Cambridge. He joined the university’s chess club, where he beat the president in his first year (he claims) and practised two hours a day towards becoming a champion. Preoccupied with occultism, he eventually gave this idea up.
Crowley gained widespread notoriety during his lifetime, and was denounced in the popular press of the day as “The Great Beast” and “the wickedest man in the world.” Nevertheless, Crowley has remained an influential figure and is widely thought of as the most influential occultist of all time.

More than a few neijia enthusiasts believe that it is entirely possible to develop chansi-jin to such a degree that one need only touch the opponent to send him flying several yards. I call this the Star Wars approach to internal kung fu. Let me be perfectly frank about this claim. It is myth. While it is possible to generate uncanny power through the proper application of coiling power, it does not beget superhuman might. Moreover, the claim made by some perfidious individuals that it is possible to knock someone off their feet or even render them unconscious without making physical contact is utter horse pucky. These charlatans often pass themselves off as internal stylists but possess no genuine martial skill at all. Their antics do all authentic neijia practitioners a terrible disservice.

Sorry for my broken English.

I have almost totally stopped watching full movies, but of course gangster movies (like Richard Berry’s 22 Bullets, Bad Boys II, Jarmusch’s Ghost Dog, Michael Mann’s Heat etc.) are, when good enough, always very nice.

When few years ago there game out that Green Lanter movie I actually watched it several times already in the movie theatre. But for example first time I had 5 bottles (0,75 litre) strong South African white wine as company, so not to get bored.

But I don’t thing that using certain amount of time to follow popular culture is necessarily waste of time, because it’s possible to play Kim’s game also with Star Wars movies and comics.

The ecological footprint is a measure of human demand on the Earth’s ecosystems. It is a standardized measure of demand for natural capital that may be contrasted with the planet’s ecological capacity to regenerate. It represents the amount of biologically productive land and sea area necessary to supply the resources a human population consumes, and to assimilate associated waste. Using this assessment, it is possible to estimate how much of the Earth (or how many planet Earths) it would take to support humanity if everybody followed a given lifestyle. For 2007, humanity’s total ecological footprint was estimated at 1.5 planet Earths; that is, humanity uses ecological services 1.5 times as quickly as Earth can renew them. Every year, this number is recalculated to incorporate the three-year lag due to the time it takes for the UN to collect and publish statistics and relevant research.

Those Star Wars movies aren’t immediately anything else than reality escape.

But it’s realistic to use certain amount of time in this kind of conditions also for such things.

I would suggest to try to replace most of the entertainment intake with Tom Brown, Jr. type of pursuits.
