The insides of an Internal practitioner is not the same as someone who does not condition the way they do. The end result is a totally different body. People think the body is either locked or floating. Yes and No. The floating has nothign to do with not pre-locking the body. It comes from the conditioning and the dynamics in movement. Example: KWA! Everyone is talking about the Kwa but the Kwa cannot Issue or Recieve shock force unless the Pelvic Griddle has been disolved. So, similar to a woman that during pregnancy this naturally opens, so does the training of Chinese boxing. This will be done thru the entire body. Little by little and piece by piece. Creating the internal natural "Orbiting" kung fu. So, does your training Close Off your body or Open you up? So, there is the so-called superficial floating concept that is often confused with the real floating that requires conditioning. You have heard it many times and by many names: Snake Body, Simming on Dry Land, Floating, Orbiting, Equilibrium etc... All the same end result but all follow a different process to get their and in use!
Hope this helps point of the difference between Locked Body, External Whip designer imposter & Internal method. The outside may look similar but the inside is different. Just some thoughts!
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:eek:
