    3 sources Where these topics come from
    Don’t Apologize for Making a Stand.
    Apologies and regrets are reserved for when you have made an observed
    error. You do not need to apologize for choosing a good path. You may
    wish that things were different, but now we are violating acceptance.
    If you can respect that others may make their decisions, which are
    sometimes marked for trouble and they have the right too, then mutual
    respect doesn’t need an apology.

    • Accumulating Qi : Martial Art Energy : TKF 29
      Episode 29
      Feeling Good:
      Several people of various styles have contacted me to let me know that taking some of the concepts is helping them re-look at their karate, judo and other systems.
      Connections:
      Cameron Conaway’s essay in last episode, “5 Ways to Bring Mindfulness into Your Martial Arts” stimulated many excellent comments.
      Cameron sent me a note saying that he has become a listener.   He is also posted on his Twitter account of 22 thousand follower’s:
      “Tibetan Kung Fu sifu TW Smith (@TibetanKungFu) offers a meditative, authentic podcast. Worth a listen. - http://bit.ly/1wYA3Eb  #mindfulness” 
      Since I started learning more about Cameron, 
      He received NPR chose 5 books for their 2014 Best of Poetry Award, Cameron’s Malaria Poems is one those top 5. Congratulations and Thank You.  Cameron, you are doing great work, most of all inspiring. Keep yourself going.
      For more information on Cameron’s other Works such as : 
      Caged : Memoirs of a Cage-Fighting Poet and Until You Make The Shore
      I set up a link to his website : www.tibetankungfu.net/cameron
      Thank you to Scott and Roger for contributing directly to the Mook Chung. If you want to contribute directly, just earmark the dollars, or go to /Patreon, contribute there.
      Past Week in Practice : 
      Yang 48 Tai Chi everywhere these days. The Reeling Silk has been working very well for Phillip and our “Wise One’s”. Lot of folks starting dipping into the power bucket. Even those that practice for health, because Alignment, Intention and Timing matter, as I will share shortly.
      Todays Podcast:
      How do we ‘accumulate’ Qi? What do we do to validate process and/or progress?
      In Episode 27, we discussed the perspectives of defining Qi.
      Using Those Definitions, How do we generate improvements in Qi? 
      Definitions:
      * Original Character : Rice Pot sitting on fire, steam rising, lid on the pot opening and closing.
      * Life Force : Tangible compliments Intangible, Yin and Yang
      * Biologically
      * Biomechanically
      * Jessica Rose - Biomechanics researcher at Stanford weighs in on analysis of Bruce Lee Punch.

    • Bring Mindfulness into Your Martial Arts
      In the : Bring Mindfulness into Your Martial Arts Podcast
      Original Essay by Cameron Conaway
      Acknowledgements:
      I was working out on multiple assailant strategies. While I was sucking
      wind and recovering, Lynn took the time to tell me that Episode 27,
      "Talk on Qi gave her a lot to think about".
      Jean told posted that she had "attended our Harmonizing Sex Drive
      Workshop and it was the perfect reminder of taking care of yourself
      first and the rest will follow."
      Garner Fire Dept Event : http://garnerfire.com/2014_photos
      They raised $15,000 to help burn victims in the hospital. Say ‘Thank You
      to a Fireman’.
      Announcements:
      * Program Announcements near the end.
      * Couple of edit issues in last episode because I wanted to make sure it
      got out on time.. Why did I put it out anyway?
      My Top Priority is to be as consistent as possible, just like in
      practice. Some may be better than others. The effort is to provide
      quality information first, (practice with good intent), be consistent as
      possible, then performance..
      Reid went to see Bruce in Charlotte, and together they did the Reeling
      Silk Tai Chi with the Veterans. Yesterday during the Free Monday
      Meditation Class at 11:30, we did a meditation on ‘Creating Room for
      Your Thoughts’. Reid feels that it will be great for the Veterans, so I
      will record some bumpers and edit for them. Will send it to you Reid and
      Bruce, probably through dropbox.
      I exchanged a few emails with Cameron and I asked if I could share the
      essay with you. I hope you find it as worthwhile as I did.
      Setting the stage:
      Cameron Conaway is a former MMA fighter and an award-winning poet. His
      work has been featured on NPR, ESPN, The Guardian and The Huffington
      Post. He teaches creative writing at Penn State Brandywine. Follow him

    • Defining Qi or Chi : TKF 027
      Anniversaries:
      SiHing Bruce has been with me 8 years and Dwight has been with me 10,
      this month. Wow, time moves quick. They are both good men and use their
      kungfu and chikung to improve their health, wellbeing, and to understand
      how to use it.
      HopGar:
      Mr. Knox and I spent time finishing the 2nd Long Form of Hop Gar. I go
      through all the details.
      Excerpts:
      I pull some audio from the Bagua Pushhands workshop and share that. If
      you haven’t seen it, you can go to Youtube
      : http://youtu.be/AbY8noCXkBU
      Qi ( 氣 ) is a word that carries many
      meanings. All trying to capture it’s essence in english and there is
      really not one. The character itself is derived from rice in pot with
      steam rising from it.
      Perspectives of Chi
      There are many forms of Qi. (Chi, Ki, Prana most say theoretically same
      thing) I define Qi :
      Using the character meaning to demonstrate how complex cooking rice can
      be if you want to make it complicated, or how simple.
      Energetic View (Energy)
      Physiological View (Life Force)
      Biomechanical View (Effeciency)
      Giving three various way how to see it. Eventually you will see they all
      the same. :)
