January 12, 20224 yr I was wondering if anyone here made a big deal (as a school, instructor or student) of the upcoming Chinese New Year?I have a new sifu and sigung (師公) as well as a number of sihing (older brothers - 師兄) and a couple of sije (older sisters - 師姐).My Sigung is an interesting fellow...Chinese (from the mainland) and is a lineage holder in qigong as well as being a very accomplished and respect Taijiquan sifu. He is a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to boot. So, I am taking this situation very seriously as a Westerner.Is anyone interested in seeing the gifts that I am getting for everyone and the significance they bring? I know that not everyone has traditional roles or followings, so I thought some might find these types of traditions interesting.Let me know about either or both.Thanks. For me bujutsu is not a set of techniques, but a state of the body. Once the principles are integrated, the techniques surge spontaneously because the body is capable of adapting instantaneously.
