    Excellent responses from Alan. 🙏🏼 These interviews feel like trying to set traps and skilled, knowledgeable, aware people skipping right over them.

    Great interview. It truly is fascinating that, being given a platform to express their opinions, the woo side of the Chinese martial arts have chosen not to engage and have their say

    LMAO! We don't need a platform to express our opinion or to validate what we do other than a ring. But then again, what can i say to a guy who doesn't believe in elasticity, density, and pressurization of internal cavities? You talk big but you won't go to a 200 dollar seminar to verify via personal experience... quite the scientist lol

    Alan's great, great experience and deep understanding, though if I had the chance to talk with him I'd have to press him on the Adam Mizner comments, I heavily disagree with some of the things he says here, Adam's stuff to me is a big problem regardless if he has genuine push hands skills, his "demos" he does like the ones from sitting in a couch is obvious nonsense, but each to his own
