Really cool discussion - I listen the first time out of pure interest but I plan to re-listen with a notebook for the training & principle gems. Thank you!
I think anyone who has been doing IMA for an appreciable length of time can relate immediately to the principles that Frank describes. After watching this podcast in its entirety, the thought that came across my mind was "yep", no doubt in my mind that Frank rang all the bells in this Part One of his discussion about internal principles. Looking forward to seeing Part Two.
23:36 the question i've had for the past few days regarding evasion in kung fu (particularly ima) was answered here. and 31:40 lmao I've thought this a lot over the past years. different butts are going to appear differently externally even if the same internal conditions are met. i think this is actually pretty important when teaching across different demographics with different body shape distributions. (most important point was the specific emphasis on the sacral region the moment before in the podcast though.)
