    I very much enjoyed the (very familiar) outlook on the philosophy of practicing an internal martial art.

    At one point he briefly mentions practicing stance training for several hours as a student - reminded me of listening to Sisook Gung Ho a few weeks ago talking about how in Sitaigung Ho's school 1 hour in Horse Riding stance was a "Level 1" requirement.

    There's a lot of mystery surrounding traditional Chinese martial arts. Is kungfu really as powerful as karate, muay thai or jiu jitsu? Or is there something ...
