Some of the secret societies and asian family lineages still have it but it is a true secret. Likely related to softening of the stone for giza.

I would like in the manner of JCVD in Bloodsport or Kickboxer to have a master in a personal capacity (I am not comfortable learning with others), I prefer to be alone and in this way the learning is better and goes more at the end of the day.

I love those 2 movies.

You can usually get one-on-one training from any MA teacher. Also, I have been looking out for a good martial arts VR game.

However, just learning good katas is great training. I recommend Tiger and Crane. But having a teacher to explain what the moves mean in terms of self-defense is important. Even Tai Chi is self-defense, so in addition to the body moving chi through the proper body mechanics and the breathing, all the moves are based in self-defense.

This video connects the Chinese language, techniques, with a more spiritual and heart centered way of looking at things.

"Then you see those videos of apparent qi gong masters getting decked by people highly trained in other more physical disciplines, because ultimately the 'strength' of qi is one thing, but technique of delivery can change things greatly."

I have more than a passing familiarity with Chinese and Japanese myths and traditions. Thus a lot of the modern Chinese gurus tend to act out the stories of the immortals and cultivators. Cultivators are not martial artists. Cultivators are like Western adepts or magus/wizards.

They act in this role, since it is has to do with face/reputation, and eventually they convince themselves they actually can do the things in the legends. Then they do something unwise like accepting a challenge from MMA people.

Some more productive and entertaining looks at internal power vs external power applications.

One of the interesting connections between Mizner and Joe the guy who reconstructed his spine, is that Mizner had a similar accident and also reconnected his spine using chi/prana/phvrill.

This becomes valuable data for connecting dantiens to chakras, and martial arts Tai Chi Chuan with the heart-indigo chakras.

Analyzing (poll style) most of the instructors/answerers on Yahoo answers in 2008-10 ish, pretty much 90-95% were 3rd density capped. Meaning, they could not break through into the realm of the heart, the invisible chi. They could circulate it internally, using mechanics, technique, and external movements, but the internal circulation was not understood. This internal circulation of chi, was only at the lower dantien, the lower 3 chakras. It did not connect to the heart, and definitely did not boost the psychic upper dantien, the throat/indigo/crown chakras. It was quite difficult learning about all dantiens, chakra centers, and not being able to communicate or make effective use of other people's perspectives and experiences. First I had to "translate" a lot of concepts. A lot of what I said, would have sounded inane or actually insane or non practical, to most of the people there. They got used to it eventually and stopped getting triggered, but only because one of the more respected people there began to notice I had some deeper knowledge of bio mechanics and was not treating me as a clown. Thus the rest of the crowd sort of followed in, like a herd wolf pack. The majority did not understand me or agree with my methods of "teaching" online, as I focused more on principles and less on practicing a physical movement that was meaningless 1000 times first in a dojo, but I started gaining a "reputation" heh.

There were examples of secret healing societies that utilized these arts, such as the BBC once recorded, but they are mostly mystical fog to those practicing physical refinement and have not graduated the test to the next grade.

The Martial Man does on site interviews and voyages, sorta like a Mugya Shugyo. So Star one, you can still get a hint of the experience even if you can't get to a Shaolin temple ; )
