Now i have an important question (for me) to ask you: i remember when reading one of your posts, you mentioned a brief encounter with kung-fu. I am just beginning to learn the Magical Passes (from the book and also the DVD), and read there that Juan Matus recommended Marshall art, and that one of the ladies in his group (or earlier) traveled to the East to study it. I have always been fascinated with marshal art (mostly the discipline and spiritual part of it); do you think that the Magical Passes can substitute entirely kung-fu, Tai-chi-chuan etc? I hope it is, and want your opinion.

amos.

I don't want to in any way imply that I am an authority on this matter. But here's an opinion from my personal experience.

I have practiced the magical passes very intensly at times and then not so intensly at other times. I know that there is enough force and magic in them to completely take the place of any other form of physical exercise. However, my personal preference is to have numerous physical activities going on at the same time.

I read somewhere that Don Juan had suggested that Carlos practice martial arts to gain discipline and force in order to apply that to his magical passes. And I have found this to be true for myself as well. But I don't think it necessarily has to be martial arts. It could be anything I suppose. Yoga, running, walking, weight lifting, swimming, sports... anything physical, done impeccably, could give more impact to your magical passes and vice-versa.

And it certainly doesn't hurt to eat well too
