East Winds - I posted the pictures to help with the discussion, not as a reason to show good or bad Taoist Tai Chi but to show how some people do it.
One thing I find interesting is that many here have shot down most of TTCS's techniques and say they can't be healthy (front sitting, square hips, etc...) and yet over the decades there have been plenty medical journals with detailed explainations by doctors (western doctors) as to why and how these techniques are helping people.
Now I already know everyone is asking "well post the journals..." and yes I'll look into them. Most of the ones I have read are in 3 ring binders in our branch archives but there are some online.
