un pò di spirito visto il tenore ISAM degli ultimi post....
The Tai-Chi Chuan Ten Commandments
1. Too much practice disturbs the balance of yin and yang. Try to
restrict practise to 5 minutes a week in class and only when teacher
is looking.
2. Don't do TCC when cold, wet, hungry, tired, drunk, warm, dry,
well fed, rested or sober.
3. When you do TCC you should feel as though you are sitting in an
armchair. Bring chair along if this visualisation too difficult.
4. Feel free to interpret instructions and advice, historical
accounts and texts and just about anything else as confirmation that
the way you are doing it is wholly correct, always has been and
always will be.
5. Don't challenge people to fight as this is uncivilised. If
anyone challenges you to a fight then point this out to them. If a
mugger tries to rob you, show true TCC spirit by letting them take
your wallet so that your superiority of character is evident in your
actions. You did not beat them up not because you couldn't but
because it would be immoral to use your superior fitness and
technical ability to do so. Not to mention the blood you would get
on the armchair.
6. If you wish to develop empty force, you must stand around doing
nothing a lot. Try to incorporate this into your practice. Use the
armchair principle to support you.
7. If someone wishes you to demonstrate empty force, they will either
a) fall over when you use it - or
b) not fall over when you use it.
This means either a) it has worked or b) it has worked but the person
on which you practised it was not sensitive enough to feel it and has
probably sustained severe internal injury from the exercise of your
chi. Refuse to demonstrate further to such a person for fear of
killing them. If they are a mugger see rule 5.
8. Always be prepared to criticise small technical points in other
styles of TCC. If you don't know any small technical points in other
styles of TCC, this demonstrates your tolerance towards all
variations of the art including people who are completely wrong IYHO
even though you have no idea what they actually do.
9. If you have been taught by, trained with, attended a seminar
under, seen a demo by, watched a video of, read a book by, heard
about or just had mentioned to you the name of any great master, be
prepared to either
a) dismiss them out of hand as non proficient charlatans - or
b) include them in your lineage
Selection of a) or b) depends on
1. who you are currently disagreeing with
2. who you are trying to impress
3. who you are trying to get into bed with (may also fit into
category 2)
4. all of the above
10. Remember that personal insults, sarcasm and flippancy have no
part in the TCC spirit, unless they are needed to illustrate your knowledge
and superiority over others.
