Tensegrity and the Martial Arts Experience

Qigong vs. Tensegrity

feeds@yuku.com (Eulalio) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 07:15:55 GMT

I am new to this board and have been going over some of the archives. It seems that many people now accept the idea that Carlos got his "magical passes" from one or another martial arts / qigong sources, simply repackaging them or what-have-you. But here's the problem I see with that. First off, there are a limited number of ways one can move the human body, so any exercise system is bound to have some commonalities with any other. This doesn't prove that the first one was...

Karate & Tensegrity

feeds@yuku.com (Nidan) — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 07:41:40 GMT

When I first saw a tensigrity vid I was really amazed about the similarities between the passes and karate kata. I don't mean single movements that were 'lifted' from martial arts - more about the feel of them.

the dance of life and death

for this most part, we are all born with the same bone structure. (not true, NOT TRUE. NOT TRUE!!!) scream it aloud ye users of reason. stop the feeling right there will ya? We dealing with words here partner, no sense in trying to get any feeling involved. Take a poet-like or posey reader kind to kin the feel.

We take that bone structure and begin the dance of life. We look at what we look at, mom or pop, uncle or aunt, sister or...

Charlila... We have a forum for listing your links.

Please use that one.

Also, don't post the same post in multiple forums, and don't use the CL forum for feedback to the local constabulary.

ok.
but why edit my post instead of writing your own?

Well, essentially it was deleted because you posted the same message in the other forum there...... I dunno... I was just being creative I guess.

This could be a SR first here.

Barefoot - belongs to the thread "fights in real life

feeds@yuku.com (charlila) — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 16:23:42 GMT

We had more than an hour to wait for the bus to Guaiamas, so my 9 years old son and I walked around the sleepy station at Hermosillo. Elder Indians, who came down from the surrounding Yaqui mountains, wearing wide off-white polyester sombreros, followed us silently with their mystical eyes. We got stuck in a self-service cafeteria, not the cheapest, and while we stood there hesitating between the dishes, we were addressed by a young, tall, barefooted American, wearing a cow-boy hat, clean...

"Up until I was around 18 years old, I did primarily co-starring roles".

"From boyhood to adolescence I was a bit of a troublemaker and was greatly disapproved of by my elders. I was extrememly mischievous and aggressive."

Dreams

Tensegrity resembles Chinese and Japanese martial arts.

So what? All of them are dreamt up or fantasized anyway.

Dream up your own stuff and be happy with it.

Don't be surprized it resembles one of those famous moves by Carlos or Bruce or Howard.

We all have inherited certain reflexes and so we've inherited a certain inclination to some special moves, moves we feel comfortable with.

You may have noticed none of the moves by Howard or the others...

What is Tensegrity

In this thread I would like to explore what Tensegrity is and what it's value might be.

Tensegrity is something which is being used, although not on a wide scale, in many applications, the arts, bio-chemistry and of course BodyWork.

Tensegrity In mechanics and biomechanics, tensegrity or tensional integrity is a property of objects with components that use tension and compression in a combination that...

Standing Meditation

feeds@yuku.com (Tungsten) — Thu, 22 Dec 2005 09:28:46 GMT

This link might be of some value fro those who don't know what Zhan Zhuang is. Also there is some discussion of Wang Xiang Zhai who introduced this practice to the public in China. However it has been a secret technique practiced by many martial artists, Internal martial artists, and Chi Gong Masters as well.

It was most probably taught by Howard Lee to Carlos Castaneda as well, a practice Castaneda did not teach in his workshops.
