BTW, I'm with Scott. Slow, progressive training. The word is that the Pak Mei training gives your tendons micro damage that constantly heals and repairs, over time building your tendons. Never dissected a Hing Dai before, but it makes sense.
Likewise, movement in one direction followed by explosive power in a different direction loads the tendons.
I think you guys are arguing over 'things you read' not things you did, and everybody is right, its just a matter of scale, speed of progress, and key muscle groups deemed more important by different sport physiologists dedicated to specific sports.
