I had my first dip in the pool of Baji Quan today! it was great!!! I've decided to train in Sifu Adam Hsu's school in San Francisco! His senior and long time students teaches the class there. I'm very impressed and now understand the power behind Baji...STRONG STANCES! COMPRESSING then EXPLODING when attacking, Breathing technique, and Chi development over time! awesome stuff! Too bad they only train once a week (4hrs on saturday)... My stances need a lot of work since I haven't been doing DEEP stances for years now.
But one thing that might bother me is the stomping!!!! I can allready feel the soreness in my bones! Does this type of soreness (in the bones, knees etc) go away after certain leg muscles develop over time?? the sifus there have been training for 25 years in Baji and their knees seem strong and fine. So I'm guessing the muscles help strengthen the bones after a while??? or does it all come with technique???
