Tight compact form left side
Tight Compact Form either right or left side best demonstrates how the "Jin" is generated by the waist since it has no reliance on generating power from the legs. My own teacher Stephen Hwa says : "I know that one of the classical writings about tai chi mentioned that: The jin should be rooted in the feet, generated from the legs, controlled by the waist, and manifested through the fingers. From my own sense of fa jin, I want to change the above to the following: The jin should be generated from the waist, controlled by the legs, rooted in the feet, manifested through the fingers. Let me elaborate on this. I have discussed and demonstrated the generating of jin (a surge of power) from the waist many times before, especially in the Overview video so I will not repeat here. Now, when you generating the jin, it surges to the hand and the fingers for delivery. At the same time, an equal and opposite force will send from the waist down through the pelvis to the leg and finally absorbed by the ground through the foot. During that instant, the buttock and leg will naturally be energized to transmit the force to the feet and firming the lower body structure to support the fa jin. You can actually sense that during Form playing. Using the external leg power to simulate forward and lateral fa jin is ineffective. Leg power is strongest in the direction of uplifting from the knee. That is why sprinters use the crouch start on starter blocks rather than start from an upright position. To use leg power at an upright position, to effect a push forward move, the move will have a low acceleration from rest in contrast to fa jin from the waist which can be made to have a sudden burst motion. Using the leg power really can not be called fa jin" Internal Exercise for Power and Vitality course https://ift.tt/3kDHye4... Small Circle Tai Chi Form course part I https://ift.tt/3kDHye4...
