Look, the army makes soldiers in three months, and that includes some high tech stuff. And, when you add up the actual hours spent on that college course, it doesn't take that long to make a scientist or mathematician. The idea that it takes long stretches of time is something that has been taught to us by people who want to make money. After all, the longer somebody is engaged in a course of study, the longer money goes into that cultural dojo box. So get over the idea that it takes a lifetime, and get used to learning fast! Now, to learn an art such as pa kua chang you need to draw a circle about six feet across, and which takes exactly eight steps to step around. You need to situate the circle so it is squarely in the room, which means that if you straightened up every two steps you would face a wall.martial arts instruction]]> pa kua chang]]> kenp]]> shaolin]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Butterfly-Pa-Kua-Chang-In-Three-Easy-Steps-/823324 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:15:23 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Butterfly-Pa-Kua-Chang-In-Three-Easy-Steps-/823324
