Where does the power come from in a fajing strike/ an internal power strike?

Not really - there are some aspects I don't bring up in the video, such as some of my schools neigong aspects that we incorperate, but as these can vary from technique to technique, it seemed a little daft to bring them up in this, which is a quite specific demonstration.
In terms of "how to throw a taiji-ish punch", the major parts are included.

 

Yes

1) I agree with - though the reason I didn't bring it up in the video was that I was speaking in front of a couple of newer students, who are just getting out of 'falling' into their steps, so I didn't want them to confuse 'dropping' into a technique to add power, with generally 'falling' into movements in an uncontrolled way.

2) An oversight on my part, to be honest - I should have brought it up in the video, though if I remember, we had been discussing it in the class before hand.
As an aside, that video was cool, though not what I do in terms of opening the hips. The 'double hip' movement he is demonstrating seems to be a bit of a 'wind-up' before striking?? EG, he turns his waist away from the opponent, before turning back with the strike. I would go straight in the direction that I want to go, and train to generate power over that short distance (inch-jin etc)

3) Again, an oversight

 

Cool.

Yeah, the double hip movement is good but can telegraph the punch. It is a nice concept to help learn to keep the elbow to the side when opening the hips. So it can be done with other footwork using the same principle.

Going back to your video Dan Bian, it was kind of difficult showing power the way your student was holding the focus mitt. When the mitt is held across the body, you end up doing a power slicing punch. I think you had the better alignment in the video when you had your vertical fist against your student and asking him to push against you. That line of power more off your right shoulder (instead of across the body) with arm more bent can be a very powerful punch. It is basically a battering ram with your body behind it.

 

If you telegraph on the double hip you arent doing it correctly.

The initial training shows that "swivel" to hardwire the conxept, but the actual "combat" delivery woks on hiding hides initiation phase

 

Profanity laced insults deleted, with no job, haha you loser.

Trolls on here are the same all losers too with low self esteem bahahahaha I mean for men full gorwn men to put silly pics on their avitars then troll people omg total loser more profanity deleteds hhahaha

signing out And yet more profanity ladden insults deleted.

ooooo yea!!!!!!

cpthisndisgh, Profanity laced tirades are absolutely not allowed on MAP either. Nor are attacks on moderators. Should you come back, you really need to take the time to review the TOS before posting again. Click on the link I provided you.

 

Yeah, it can be hidden by not leading with it. Instead leading with a lead hand slap like in the video.

It can become a natural part of footwork for many of the strikes. It can be done by sort of cross stepping forward with the rear leg and then stepping with the lead leg. Not rotating the shoulders from the original position until after the lead foot steps down and the reverse punch is initiated. After a bit, it can look as simple as a shuffle step followed by a slide step, and punch.

 

The power comes from seeing clearly

 

How does an abstract attempt at sounded mysterious help anyone?

 

Aimed for Lao Tzu......



....hit David Brent

 

In answer to the op, that's about as straight forward a statement as I could make it . The truth is in it for any willing to see , and for any wanting to move their practice on hopefully it'll give them a clue as to where to look , for those walking the way already it might serve as marker that they're on the right track .
That was my hope, lol

 

Or to keep it simple "describe the biomechanics involved"

 

That's odd, because a number of people in this thread have actually given much more straight forward answers than yours.

Trying to come off as wise by making vague statements, then acting as if we should be greatful for your input doesn't go down well here.

 

Seeing things clearly sets us free, this freedom generates enormous power ( or is capable of generating )
Re op we shouldn't be to quick to ban people because they don't fit our fixed concepts
1 it's our fixed concepts that restrict us
2 they can teach us about ourselves
3 we loose the opportunity to help them

:-D

 

Absolute bollocks

 

:ban:

Enough nonsense.

 

Oh , and fa Jin is a dead end, there's far greater forces around, use those
:-D

 

This is just trolling now.
