much thanks to Johnny Kuo for putting this together.

i'll put it up here for everyones benefit.

the explanation is;

top most dot = the crown

2nd dot = sternum point

3rd dot = dan tien

4th dot = perineum

top red circle = upper center of mass

bottom red circle = lower center of mass

top (horizontal) blue line = nipple line

middle (horizontal) blue line = elbow line

bottom (horizontal) blue line = "dan tien" line (corresponds to the nipple line)

left and right verticle lines = shoulder line / square of the body

middle verticle line = center line

the arcs = absorb and project from the the feet to the points

the half circles = convex

the full circles centered on the shoulder lines = concave

Nice. Gives me something visual to think about.:D
Steve

top most dot = макушка

2nd dot = центр груди

3rd dot = dan tien

4th dot = промежность

top red circle = верхний центр массы

bottom red circle = нижний центр массы

top (horizontal) blue line = линия соска

middle (horizontal) blue line = линия локтя

bottom (horizontal) blue line = линия "dan tien" (соответствует линии соска)

left and right verticle lines = линия плеча / "квадрат" тела

middle verticle line = линия центра

the arcs = поглощение и прожектирование от ступы к точкам

the half circles = выпуклый

the full circles centered on the shoulder lines = вогнутый

Far out Ashe where did you learn Russian ?:clapping:

actually i cheated.

it's not what you know... it's who you know. ;D

i just wanted to do a little something for our Russian brothers and sisters.

Woohoo Ashe, now you only have to translate all the previous Russian posts into English.:D

Steve,

Freo would be Fremantle, is it not? ;)

Adrian

just use the google translator, i made sticky post in the main section. ;)

nevermind...that's probably how you noticed it was sergei's birthday.

Hi Adrian
Yes Freo is Fremantle:D
Do you train I Liq Chuan ?
Steve

Steve,

I have fond memories of Fremantle and the Fremantle markets when I used to live in Perth about fifteen years ago.

Yes I train I Liq Chuan. I moved to California last year from New York where I had been training with Sifu Chin since 2001.

Adrian

:shok:

he's a disciple!

Hi Adrian,

Yes Freo is a beautiful easy-going place. I've been here since 2002, I'm from England. I train with Henry Kong and Alex Lim who both trained with sigong when he was living in Perth, Alex's focus is on qigong and Henry's major is spinning. It makes a good combination, I think ;)

So is there a school in California ? I'm led to believe that there are many internal martial artists there.
Steve

Steve,

Do you mean ILC schools? There are many martial arts schools here in the Bay Area, and a lot of internal martial arts. No I Liq Chuan however. I'm the first ILC representative out here.;)

Adrian

Hi Adrian
Yeah I did mean ILC schools ;)
Cool so you're the first, are you going to start anything ? I think it would take off.
Steve

Hey Steve,

Yeah, I have a handful of students. It is coming along, albeit slowly.

Adrian

wow, a handful! your growing already. cool.

Thanks Ashe, but really it's mainly a bunch of people who came to the recent seminar. So it's all thanks to sifu. I just happen to be the only one in California with the ILC system. :D

that's how it all starts. good for you mang!
