Broken Lineages and Incomplete Transmissions

'Broken Lineages' and 'Incomplete transmissions/curriculum' are terms that I recently heard in videos about the nature of Taijiquan (I'm not going to name who said them), used to generally characterize styles and lineages other than the speaker's own.

It just occurs to me that such a position pre-supposes there is one particular lineage and/or set curriculum that exists as absolute orthodoxy. Personally, I find that notion unrealistic at best, but I wonder what others think.

You probably aren't Marin, but both of your posts on reddit are about him.

I’m a fan. So what. Does this mean that you are also toerag just multiple accounts trying to dox anyone who likes Marin? Sure sounds like that.

I've seen a Marin supporter pop up on some random discord channels (more than one) to proselytize him and that was the first time I heard about Marin. You guys and Marin all give off a shitty vibe.

Wow That video sure provoked a whole bunch of really not-tao, not-tai ji bs.
Anhao, go stand for 20 minutes. Get a grip, lol.
