Good day - saw in one of your posts that you practice stuff from Sam Masich. And are in Canada.

My own teacher - Michael Babin, now retired fully just this month - trained with Sam Masich years ago.

May I ask where you are situated?

Currently in Southern Ontario and associated with the Canadian Taiji Quan Federation. What are you looking for?

I feel called out by this.

So as you’ve noticed I’ve been missing for a long time. I got a lateral release surgery done to my right knee and afterwards my leg atrophied. I’ve spent the better part of 2.5 years working on rebuilding my strength. I’m at about 80% now.

The goal was to get good enough to test for my fourth degree, and that was achieved last month! So now it’s to keep working on the strength and hopefully get into the competitive sphere again :)

You can find a copy on Archive.org

Brucelee got his isometrics from this Bob Hoffman book. You can actually order it on Amazon and there is a bunch of links where you can read it for free online. It is extremely basic and it is effective but he disregarded it after a year.

In our club we would have some play between jian and dao as well as qiang and dao as well. Though that was fairly few and far between.

While this example is choreographed it does go to show that classically there would have been a lot of mixed weapon sparring.

God I fucking love mixed weapon fighting so much, just being able to go at it with the thing you're most comfortable with against someone else using the thing they're most comfortable with is so cool and awesome, coming up with strategies to a weapon set you don't use and testing them against someone doing the same, it's so rad tbh

Makes me sad that so many places I've fought in regard it as like, an afterthought at best

 What most people forget is boxing is a martial art. Bruce lee said you only need 10 moves . Martial art masters created clutter to create income . Fighting is simple , a punch is a punch , a kick is a kick.

HOSHORYU YUSHO!

After first defeating Hakuoho, Hoshoryu and Hokutofuji were tied at 12-3, leading to one last playoff match, from which Hoshoryu walked away the victor, earning is first yusho.
