This is a post written by Joanna:
This is in reply to the comments about the Xingyi defense against kicks in the last post.
The two pictures show someone performing a gather step. The first person is not utilising his spine – he is just using synchronisation of his arms and legs. It only works if your [...]
Tai Chi v Poker
Posted in Blogroll on May 29, 2007 | 17 Comments »
I don’t think I have enough room on my blog for both tai chi and poker, so unless the the mother of invention (Joanna) can come up with a game that incorparates both, I think it’s time that I revived my poker blog then we can get all the degenerates in one place!
Good luck to [...]

Well guys this is the last time you will see the little pest below on my blog, it’s time for him to move homes. I’m hoping that he goes to stay with one of his old buddies Mik or Juice again, and after Mik’s comment to me last night that the munkey is staying with [...]

Hi guys, well I know this is a bit unusual to say the least, but I’m getting rid of my faithful computer desk, because I need the space for more tai chi related things. I was going to sell it on e-bay but I just don’t think it is worth the hassle, I can imagine [...]

Sean mentioned to me last week at Keighley, which was that I have a time machine, oh how I wish that were true. But he was actually reffering to the fact that I train in Halifax on Mondays and as such he thought that I knew what the tuesday night lesson was going to be. [...]
The Walk of Shame

I doubt that any of my regular readers will know “the walk of shame” although most of you will probably know that I love to play poker. So here is the thing, I play a tournament every Sunday on Poker Stars with a regular bunch of poker players/ blogers. The game is for the readers [...]

I know I keep posting things here about this little girl, but I do it because it’s one of the most important things to me that I have heard about in years. It upsets me no end whenever it comes on the news, and thats just me a total stranger (a soft one albiet, but [...]
