- Tai Chi Chuan Boxing Strategies
- The ingenious aspect of the creation of Yang style Tai Chi from Lu’Chan is the idea that the whole form is a combative-reaction from position to position through out the whole form. If you read Yang Cheng’Fu’s, The Essence and Applications of Tai Chi Chuan, you will come in contact with a deeper reality of this fact. The deeper secrets that I hope to divulge in this book, Yang Tai Chi Boxing Strategies, pertain to the Eight Gates and Five Steps of the Yang Family transmissions in addition to understanding the mathematic-geometrical components of the Circle and Square in relation to the fight cadence and strategies founded by Yang Lu’Chan.

The gauntlet has been laid down; for those who wish to trek the mazes of conscious expansion and vacuum into the black-holes of explosive Fa-Jing.

- Tunisian Martial Arts Interview
- Martial Arts on a whole is live and well in Tunis, from what I have been able to observe since relocating here two years ago. Taekwondo and Aikido are the most prominent styles practiced here; as well as the rise of Judo and Jujitsu in the wake of the new MMA craze. Chinese Martial Arts is making a surge of late with Sifu's like Ariel Betti and Mohammad Ghariani teaching Wushu and Tai Chi Chuan to large classes in the Sidi Bou Said, La Marsa, and surrounding Tunis area. Mohammad is connected to the Plum Blossom school of Kung fu, and Ariel teaches the more traditional Shaolin techniques; as well as Golden Dragon Southern Style. The Martial environment here is very rich with a long list of Sifu's who teach Japanese style's, as well as a multiplicity of Western Boxing and Wrestling instructors.

- What is Internal Boxing?
- Old experts also thought Jujitsu was unimportant, until the Gracie’s swept the through MMA’s circuits snatching up every prize purse to be had. Now Jujitsu is a prerequisite if anyone wishes to compete with the big boys. The question has been begged to be answered, ‘’What does Internal Martial Arts offer?’’ No one can argue that ring fighting has become as predictable as the opening moves in a chess match. I would answer the question put forth by saying, ‘’Internal Martial Arts offers Balance, Focus, and Adaptability.’’

- Inside the World of Polarity
- When using ‘contraction’ against bodily manipulation (grapplers), we should use it on the ‘exhalation.’ The reason is that ‘sinking’ is best accomplished during this breath cycle (as explained in the example of the pool.)
Many Kung Fu schools such as Shaolin, and Hung Gar schools which broke off from Shaolin, use the Iron Wire method of practicing ‘muscle contractions’ for this very reason. The ‘Iron Wire’ skills used to be protected knowledge amongst underground Chinese Societies. The art-form also spread to Japan and can be found in many advanced levels of various Karate schools; and is best shown in the movie, ‘Street Fighter,’ featuring ‘Sonny Chiba.’
