Three Types of Fearlessness
By Cheng Man-ch’ing
From: New Method of Self Cultivation
三無畏
一、 無艮喫苦。
二、 無艮喫虧。
三、 無畏厲害
(Literally) Three Without Fears:
First, without fear of eating bitter
Second, without fear of eating loss
Third, without fear of ferocity.
Cheng Man-ch’ing wrote-
My discussion on fearlessness is intended only for those willing to exert effort.
First: Do not fear bitter work. If you do, you will never progress.
Second: Do not fear losing. The fundamental principle in taijiquan is to 'yield to follow others.' Yielding up your position to follow others is, most decidedly, losing.
Third: Do not fear ferocity. Laozi described men who have cultivated the life principle saying, 'a rhino finds no place to gore, a tiger feels nothing to claw, a soldier has nowhere to stab.' Why is this? Because they have no fear of death. Rather than praising the ferocity of a rhino, tiger or wean, Laozi exalts the softness which overcomes hardness."

Tensegrity & Tai Chi & Qigong
Tensegrity & Tai Chi & Qigong
We are held together by this concept. Every part of us, whether it be a finger, an arm, a leg, a hair, an organ, or the torso, has its own ‘tensional integrity’ – something that holds that part of our anatomy in its shape, and also in position in relation to all our other parts.
Noun: The property of skeleton structures that employ continuous tension members and discontinuous compression members…
