Liked on YouTube: 潜意识,下意识 "Subconscious" Qiányìshí, xiàyìshí in Taijiquan

潜意识,下意识 "Subconscious" Qiányìshí, xiàyìshí in Taijiquan
"Qi"? What Qi if there is no intent, what intent if someone even spelled it wrong and only "Win stun" (Wing Chun, etc.) is subconsciously coming out when you do Classical Tai Chi? (It's subconscious by the way, some do it naturally, some never get it because other subconscious baloney gets in the way). Uncovering the Treasure by Stephen Hwa, Ph.D. p. 25 "There is a more subtle but powerful reason why the martial arts aspect of Tai Chi is important. Tai Chi Form should be practiced with "Yi" (martial art intention). "Yi" is not something complex and elaborate. It is single-minded and somewhat intuitive with the desire to deliver the internal power externally through hands, arm, and foot, whatever the movements. If the hand is moving forward, then the Yi goes to the palm and fingers; if the hand is moving laterally in a blocking movement, then the Yi goes to the leading edge on the side of the hand, etc. Once the practitioner masters the "Yi", it is no longer a conscious effort. It becomes subconscious and comes naturally whenever the practitioner makes a move."
