Tai chi is an ancient Chinese martial arts form, often seen in this country when groups of people in outdoor parks perform graceful arm-and-body movements in unison. So what was a tai chi master doing last month in a lab at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital?
Understanding both the slow and the fast movements of tai chi can advance the lab's primary mission, which is to diagnose the underlying causes of walking problems in children. The tai chi master was just the latest person to have reflective markers fastened to his legs and joints to record precise movements at the lab. Measurements of muscle activity, balance, joint movement, forces acting on the joints and energy expended during walking create a complete picture of a patient's gait or, in this case, a master's 'strike.'
During his first visit from Beijing last year, Master Chen Xiang, an 18th-level tai chi master, astonished Rose and her students by the amount of force that can be generated by a highly trained tai chi master during a strike. She and her colleagues calculated that the full-strength blow delivered a floor reaction torque of more than 14 times his body weight while accelerating his striking arm from 0 to 60 mph in less than three seconds.
In addition to continuing their study of tai chi strikes, the researchers expanded the scope of their inquiries based on some preliminary studies performed on Stanford's own resident tai chi master, Shu Dong Li. Together with Dennis Grahn, PhD, senior research scientist in biology, and two professors of radiology, Scott Atlas, MD, and Gary Glover, PhD, they used thermography and functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure biophysical changes that occur during the process of 'focusing the chi.' In Chinese martial arts and Eastern medicine, chi, or qi, represents a life force or energy that can be focused through meditative concentration.

Junior students study regularly for at least five years with a master and actively practice for at least ten years. Their advancement to the next level depends on natural talent, hard work and other factors.
Although some masters are beginning to issue teaching credentials to students who have passed instructor trainings, the vast majority of available tai chi teachers lack such credentials much less the competency to offer such credentials.
Inigo sought out the best fencing masters and manuals, and practiced diligently. Through years of arduous training, the scar on his face was a constant reminder of his deeper motivations. (It also reminded him to practice his line in order to get the full dramatic effect when finally confronting the 6-Fingered Man.)
For Inigo, it was the scar on his face that reminded him of the 6-Fingered Man. That thought motivated him not just to practice, but to become one of the best fencing masters (and best actors) around.
Haha, I just meant it was a bit of a ooo moment to see you sporting a beard but it looks cool and is in keeping with the old masters who liked to keep beards.

i feel like every movie that yuen woo-ping was involved with ended up being a stone cold masterpiece, the guy was a martial arts genius. everything in this is 110% effused with beautiful motion and grace, not to mention the constant moments of hilarity that are the bedrock of so many hong kong films. the guy just knew how to make all of this wirework style look completely natural and poised. jet li gets beaten up so badly by his evil best friend that he ends up going insane and learning to control the elements of the fucking universe, this is what you watch movies for, it fucking rules.
Another Yuen Woo-ping masterpiece. Some of the very best that Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh have ever been on the screen, both in terms of what they're able to accomplish on the screen in terms of the stuntwork they're pulling off on the screen. But I think that when you're looking into what Yuen Woo-ping allows for the two of them, as one of the greatest martial arts fight choreographers of all time, it only makes for some of the most beautifully filmed action scenes that the screen has ever seen.
