I figured you might be making Pirate references, but I wasn't sure.

If you have a tough time "reading" forms you should get a copy of James Keatings Conceptual Gold series, Boar swears they're the most valuable tapes a martial artist can own.

It'll take me awhile to put together a piece on the Demoniac influences but in the meantime you ought to read the 3 articles Boar posted in the "Tactical Toolbox" board on his forum:

Evolution of the Internal arts Part 1
Evolution of the Internal arts Part 2
Evolution of Chen Style Taiji

Those will take you from the warring states period up to current times and prepare you to follow the techniques I'll use to illustrate the concepts.

That'll give me time to raid Boars library and pick his brain for some of the finer details.

I'm liking this thread. I can only imagine the reads from Boar's library.

Yeah some of them make you wish your head would explode.

LOL I'd rather not talk about that subject.

On an unrelated note, Klauzewitz book on war was a little wordy and wandered around and around the subject at times, but I think I found the good nuggets that everyone else probably found.
