Taichi Yielding is NOT Running Away to Deflect! NEUTRALIZE & TRANSFORM to Apply Unusual Power FAJIN!
#taijiquan #yield #neutralize
Some of the bits and pieces about Taijiquan and internal arts in general, from what we explored this weekend at #ParkLife with my buddy Adrian 😁😎 Thank you Adrian for sharing your experience of what I was doing! Hope it helps some folks think outside the box. Mind is like a parachute, it only works as intended, when open 😉
Adrian is no slouch and is not conditioned to go bouncy bounce at the slightest perception of my intent! This sort of conditioned response does of course happen too often in internal martial arts circles. I agree 💯 when folks complain how it gives legitimate practitioners a bad name.
Note how I'm taking Adrian's space as his force upon me is being neutralized and transformed, which we are doing slowly and with a lot of double weightedness / double heaviness so folks have a chance to see the transformation / Hua taking place and how Chi circulates, how the Jin Lu / paths of unusual power and how Dui La / dynamically balanced viscoelastic qualities come into play!
When Adrain abruptly shifts to a rapid application of force, you can see how all that plays out at that spees, without compromising balance. But you can see how I fell behind, absorbing his force to a degree when the abrupt change happend becuase Adrian well and truly cuaght me off guard!
Rebounding Jin of Taijiquan, largely based around the mechanisms that have evolved to reprocess the impact of the gait, into the next stride, is often considered the most basic and a foundational movement and power mechanism in the study of the technology. For example, Bajiquan uses this mechanism by stomping the foot on the ground.What this is the primary mechanism of what Chen Man Ching taught. And his students like Huang Sheng Shyan used this primary mechanism with a more developed and full (achieved most likely through his esoteric practice, or the "hidden tradition") Lower Dantien. The verse that everyone parrots, from the classics in various different translations, refer to this basic, foundational movement and power mechanism.You know, the "rooted in the feet, generated from the legs, controlled by the waist, shaped by the hands..." blah blah!
But there is a LOT more to Taijiquan and Internal Kung Fu movement and power!
For example, this is NOT the primary power mechanism of say, Yang Cheng Fu Large Frame, YCF Large Frame actually generates power from the Lower Basin and transmits SIMULTANEOUSLY to both hands and feet, while the above mechanism of Rebounding Jin is passive (works with Uprooting Jin).
Anyway...
