why do the sides of people's necks get so stiff as they age?

because when we walk or run, we're always trying to keep our head still to have a steady frame of visual reference, tightening our neck and back muscles with tension to counter the natural rotational motion about all 3 axes of movement on our spine and neck that would occur otherwise.

jigging and flopping is what happens when you suppress those tendencies. In other words, if you don't try to keep your head still and motionless as a visual frame of reference when you walk, then there will be oscillations, rotational movement on all three axes that makes you look like you'r e flopping around like a fish out of water. 

5 for the price of one

rough draft:

1 hour of yoga,
or 1 hour of qigong and silk reeling (joint loosening)?

don't have to choose between them, if you're clever enough you can do both simultaneously.

relaxing with frictionless motion

rough draft:

when we move our body most people keep exerting energy and force even when there's already inertia and momentum to keep the motion going.

passadhi in taiji is 放鬆

 In taiji quan and qigong, passadhi is called

放鬆

fang song, literally 'release [of tension, into a a state of] looseness'

In other words, pacifying/passambhyam  the mental and physical tension we didn't even know we were adding in.

That's why a good taiji teacher, all you hear them say all the time is 'fang song', 'fang song', and the students say, "I am relaxed!", and the teacher keeps telling them 'no you're not."

And even the great masters and grandmasters can take 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, before they really become relaxed.

And for the same reason people can find 2nd jhana  and even first jhana hard to do.

famous taiji grandmaster master chen man ching said it took him 50 years to really understand passsadhi.

Once you really get passaddhi and jhana, then any of the internal martial arts that work with qi, taiji, ba gua, xing yi, none of the external differences in appearance, postures, movements matter, they're all working with the same internal energies that you get with with avitakka avicara samadhi.
