Ji is fajin with a longer power delivery than either Peng or Tsai. Why Tai Chi uses “follow the opponent” and how this is done with the proper footwork is explained. This video link, like several others, is on my private Youtube studio. channel. Its intent is not to compete with Master Hwa but to share my thoughts and experiences with his videos. It will not compete since it is private and is shown in this private group. I observe that Master Hwa is "following the opponent" by allowing his arm to be stretched. By doing that, he engages his core muscles and the source of his internal strength. In addition, Tom has his arm "crimped" against his side. This makes the issuance of "long-duration fajin" fairly straightforward, with little to no resistance from Tom. It behooves you to sit back and turn from the core when practicing push hands. Or else, thus losing the capability to neutralize "Ji." If one cannot neutralize in cooperative push hands, there is little skill to bring to "Ji" as an application. I suggest for everyone to practice pulling forward and sitting back, "pushing hands" with imaginary opponents as a separate exercise, and do it dozens of times in a row.
