Someone on YouTube saw this and said “Fajin broke the law of Physics” Which Fajin? The term "Fajin" is as ubiquitous in martial arts as "Chopsocky" is in TV and Movies. There is a first mentioned "ordinary" Fajin with tensed muscles and rebound because of sustained tension like a hammer in the striking limb. Then there is "non-ordinary" Fajin with a perennial relaxed body and muscles. That Fajin has the force of a whip-like wave with a "Newton can't be wrong" but seemingly in name only rebound force. Yet surprisingly because of its wave-like nature, it shows no rebound force whatsoever. So which one violated and broke it or was it really violated and broken at all? There is what Master Hwa called “Ordinary Force” and what I call "Non-Ordinary" Force. That Non-Ordinary Force is not "external" and is a skill to be learned via the internal disciplined movement of the Torso. The comment at this point might be, "but what if I take a large step forward and tilt my body forward punching Tom?" Of course, you won't careen back because the "Reaction Force" is absorbed by the back foot...but your force is still "external and ordinary". The conundrum is how to take a LEARNABLE "SMALL" step (small frame, small circle), tilt the body forward, or even stand perpendicular like Master Hwa in this photo...and not careen back from "reaction force". He used the "non-ordinary" force."
