Master_Chief,

Welcome to Martial Edge! Im sure you will get some good responses on this topic as we have some Chinese MA based practioners.

Ive actually read that book and to be honest im skeptical about some of the things (with all respect to Master Kit) he says. I think making the statement that a beginner should stand in a horse stance before a qualified instructor can demonstrate the correct technique and advise on how long you should be doing it for etc is unprofessional.

Ive also read another of Master Kits books which demonstrates how you can transmit chi through walls to knock people over - again im critical of such teachings.

Have you started at a class yet?
