This most likely will be my last post to you IS concerning your TCS.
We have come to the point where you cannot contribute to the discussion
about your
TCS without resorting to name calling, your words are the correct words,
your meanings
are the only correct meanings, what you say is above refute, nothing can
prove you wrong
because you are the arbitor of right and wrong, fact or fiction. None the
less I have replied to your words below...
No, I don't race. "Racing is a life style, not necessarily a life
achievement." In Taichi/Chinese mentality life achievement is not what
you have won, but what you have achieved, in life.
You here sound like every other martial artist that claims their martial
arts is the ultimate fighting art. They won't compete to show how good
it
really is compared to other martial arts siting all kinds of BS.
Yup, that also becomes every gapper's excuse to deny them. The
ultimate fighting art cannot really be shown in today's society,
http://www.taomartialarts.com/misc/blindswordsman.wmv
As well, when it is shown, you may not know what's it "ultimate"
about. What do you mean by "ultimate," again?
You are the one that used the word ultimate to discribe your TCS not me.
It is up to you give your meaning of ultimate, so what do you mean by
"ultimate"?
Whether
the achievements is through competition or through some other form of
accomplishment it still is achievement. Isn't TaiChi Skiing a life style
as
is racing? And if not what makes Racing a life style and Tai Chi Skiing
not?
Taichi Skiing is not a life style, but a way of life, where you live
with every aspect of it--when there's snow/in season you go skiing,
and when you not skiing, you think about it constantly. So, it is
every day life. Ski racing is only a life style because that's how
racers choose to make their living, and all their living/life ties to
their racing schedules...
Your explination here can go either way. You have made a judgement call
about racers/competitors that is only your opinion and which I would not
subscribe
to for all racers/competitiors. The attitude and the way a
racer/competitior looks at his
activity is an individual thing, they choose whether it is a life style or a
way of life or both not you choosing for them!
(snip)
You were? That's an interesting switch. I must misread yourI have not said you can not ski, I have not said you can not do extreme
challenging posts somewhere. Then, what's all these posts that hinted
I cannot ski stuff for?
skiing.
I have been told by someone that I respect and have skied with that said you
are a good skier and ski everything that your mountian has. So I believe
this person
thus believe that you are a good skier but this doesn't make you an extreme
skier
or TCS the "ultimate" skiing system. You have not proven your skiing system
to be
anything new or ultimate about it. You have just used a lot of words and
some videos
that show or prove nothing of substance. Like I said before it is not up to
me to
disprove you, since nothing has been proven yet.
(snip)
Your response to my statement doesn't make any sense. All those questionsWhat makes you think that the questioner's questions always right/
valid?
I know this questioner is correct on the questions asked being the
questioner of fact!!!
You do? Who? What? How?
were already answered.
I can not speak for other questioner's being right or wrong but you seem
to
think you can.
Yes, that's known as "know yourself, so you know others, and know
others, so you know yourself."--Chinese proverb--
It is nice you can quote other people's words, they have no meaning if you
do not apply them to yourself. You use these quotes as if it gives you some
moral right or makes you correct or others not correct.
(snip)
Yes, the "ultimate" is defined and described and the method to deliver
it also provided and the results are shown, so it is very scientific,
so it is a proof on my end. You don't believe it then you have to
disprove it, and that's the way of science. So here's the same point
you fail to see, "have you proved your point other than just saying it
is so"?
It is your system not mine so I will not do the work for you. Scientific
proof
is not based on ones opinion or by only one subject. You have not used
science to prove anything. If you have prove it, write down the methods you
used
to prove your points and the results of those studies done thus far.
No denials here only denial is coming from you. I have come to realize
that
you know all, make no mistakes, live the life of enlightenment and maybe
a
living buddha in your own mind.
Yup, another your "praise higher so to insinuate lower" tactic. No,
you don't have to be a buddha to live in Unism, and Unism is like
nature, if every thing just is, there's no "mistake."
In your Unism, you are always right, also in your Unism everyone else is
always right!
(snip)
Very shrewd language skills, ok, if you deny it, I take your words for
it. As well, I did tell you that competitions do not test the "real"
skiing skills, and I don't waste energy to chase vanities.
You are wasting energy chasing vanities, the claim that TCS is the
"Ultimate"
skiing system above all others. This is from you and only you, it is not a
held
assumption of the skiing community in general. If you claimed for you it is
the
"ultimate" skiing system, no one would argue with you. To say, TCS is the
"ultimate" skiing system as compared to all other skiing system that is
vanity
at its highest!
(snip)
So there is TCS Challenge(TM). And the "ultimate" part of Taichi is
not to compete but to make the opposite force disappears. Just like my
ski buddy, "no name, please" said, "what's great about Taichi is it
doesn't compete, it dissolves everything." What do you mean by
"ultimate," again?
TaiChi dissolves everything? If you believe this to be true, I really feel
sorry for you.
Even to bring it up as if it make some positive point about Tai Chi is
foolish and it doesn't follow with your "Unism" belief.
You make the claims now tell us how you can prove the point other than
making a solely subjective point based solely off your own oipinion.
I will be the first to agree with you and back you up all the way if you
can
prove your claims. When you make a claim be ready to back them up with
more
than, "I said so therefore, it must be true". It is not up to the world
or
anyone to prove you wrong it is for you to "prove" your claims.
Yes, after I proved my "statements" are true, it is up to the world or
anyone else to disapprove them, if they don't "believe" it.
No, it isn't. But let's for a second say yes, it is for us to disprove your
proof. We need the
proof and how that proof was obtained and can it be reproduce over and over
again. You
have given nothing, written nothing about how you proved your point of view.
What's
in your mind is not proof.
I suspect JQ was talking about extreme competitions where a
selected
nearly impossible slope of cliffs and ravines and wild snow is used
for
the "course" and the competitors are judged by selected line
difficulty,
panache, and balls, as well as speed. Alpine Meadows (once again)
has
been hosting an annual extreme telemarker competition on the
keyhole
and
the buttress slopes.
Extreme skiing may reflect a skier's courage and spirit but not
necessarily the techniques and skills. TCS Downhill would challenge
a
skier's all around abilities of all-mountain skiing, courage and
spirit included.
Extreme skiing most definately reflects a skier's tehniques and skills
No, the soft snow condition that extreme skiing is in masked a lot of
faults of the skiing. The "on course" racing demands much more
technical skills than extreme skiing.
This just shows your lack of knowledge, racing and extreme skiing demands
different technical skiing skills, some skills are cross overs some need
to
be more refined.
Not really, it only shows your partitioned skiing mentality/
techniques; Taichi Skiing does them both with the same principle: edge
turns and flatski runs.
Since your system is the ultimate you are able to both and do it with
ease
correct?
Yes, what I said, all-mountain.
I can ski all mountian too, but it doesn't make me an extreme skier by any
stretch
of the imagination.
so to be a high level skier, one must be able to ski
1. "on course" (what is on course?)
2. -- stick to your line (how is the line determined?)
3. -- run at 45 mph (does the skier need to maintain 45 mph or even get
up
to that speed?)
Basically, that's a typical line-skiing run/speed on a groomed
moderate blue trail.
Racing down a groomed moderate blue trail? This does not take much high
level skiing.
This isn't no where near extreme skiing either.
4. see how you feel (WTH does this mean?)
Most people would bail out/turn at 25 mph or less, so it would
definitely test your "courage and spirit" at 45 mph.
Are we speaking about beginners and intermediate skiers here?
(snip)
TCS Downhill was what I trademarked yesterday, and it would prove
whether or not you match up to your own expectation.
The second half of this sentence makes no sense.
To see if you can keep up.
We are not talking about beginners & intermediates if we are talking
"ultimate"
Skiing system. Those that are of high level skiing would have no problem
doing what you proposed. I bet you your student couldn't do it either.
(snip)
Your gapper quality shows.
I'm glad my gapper quality shows it only means I am in good company with
you...
Glad that you agree, I haven't misjudged your character.
:)
IS
My character is like yours, untouchable.
