This is unrelated to this particular video, but I'd like to thank you for your knowledge. I have been practicing internal styles for over 13 years here in Australia, but had no knowledge of Daoist cultivation practices made available to me- we only have one major temple in the area, along with a small parish a few hours way from my home. Your series on Xiu Dao has reinvigorated my meditation practices and opened up my horizons immeasurably. I hope I will be able to find time this year to study the rest of your work, as well as recommence my martial training in earnest. I am infinitely grateful to you, this channel and the knowledge within it is a treasure.

You are very welcome.

NICE , TK'S MASTER!

The tree branch exercise really reminds one of how the 关刀 is used in many TCMA forms. I have only practiced with the 关刀 briefly, but I know from the experience that you MUST use your whole coordinated body strength to manage it effectively. This kind of practice many not produce the kind of 'explosive' power ideal for striking, but in terms of wrestling, throws and sweeping - this is really good training for 'grappling' strength. Thank you for sharing! P.S., while I know you do not teach 八極拳, I was wondering if you could share any opinions you might have about 八極拳 and it's practice. Thank you.

Ba Ji Quan is a great style in developing martial energy. I know about it a bit since I worked on it shortly for fun when I was a child.

thank you for the demonstrations. the tree branch exercise, i think we can replace it with barbell, but looks like it can be dangerous for my shoulders :( but the dumbbell exercise looks good, it seems similar to bagua deerhorn knives movement. i will try looking into that as well, thank you very much.

Master Sha Guozheng in photo 😊 thanks for sharing!

No problem 😊

Thanks Master. When you mentined the 6 and 8-directional forces. Is this the essence of Peng Jin in that the internal force is in 8 directions and maybe even infinite in advanced stage, in spherical form such that it surrounds the body and acts like a shield. Is this also what makes the whole body act like a dantien?

Not that necessary. Peng Jin is an essential martial energy but should not over-emphasized either.
