Hi(title should be read in the manner of "lions, tigers & bears, oh my", ....never mind), Curious to who's on this forum, What style of Neichia do you train in? Who is your teacher(and maybe teacher's teacher, and teacher's teacher's teacher) or teachers? Who do they trace their lineage to? How long have you been practicing/training? What does your training consist of(moving practises/stillness practises, what manner)? Do you include weapons in your training, either solo work or partner, preset forms, application or freeform? Have you experianced other forms or teachers of neichia chaun and what stands out about your paticular lineage, instructor, system or group? Thank you. I look forward to your responses.
Excuse me, one more, Does your training consist of other arts(shaolin, muaythai, FMA, MMA, boxing), and how has your neichia training contributed to your other arts? Thank you.
