I share your appreciation for interdisciplinary training methods Tim. I myself have greatly improved the efficiency of my Wado curriculum through the simultaneous study of the internal training methodology of 'Yiquan' (which less or more comprises the ‘modern’ synthesis of the ancient Chinese boxing form 'Xing Yi Quan') Especially the different exercises in standing post (zhan zhuang) have taught me a lot about the true feeling and application of relaxation and instant speed. Even today I am working and pondering on how tot integrate this internal training into my solo practice of Wado (which just is still on my age an intriguing, challenging and satisfying pastime)
