Exactly!! DING DING DING, I agree. To develope power one must do physical exercise to keep the body in shape. One must practice motions (how can I have a powerful punch, if I don't practice punching?). One must also build up strength from with in. I also practice taiji and qigong.
I am trying to cover all aspects of developing power.
I do physical work outs until complete muscle failure occurs. I stretch, practice forms, cultivate chi, I also spar and practice punching and kicking. I am trying to develope good fa jing. Good energy release. I know its not something that will happen over night, and I know that I can't learn as much from internet message forums as I could from hands on with someone who has had decades of experience. However, I can learn something from this forum, which IMO is better than learning nothing.
My sifu says he can feel me release on him when we spar. So I know I have developed some kind of skill, but its not anywhere near as good as it could be. That is why I train hard. Here in 2 weeks my work schedule changes and I will be taking 20 hours of kung fu classes/week. Not to mention the work outs on top of that I do in my free time. That is basically a second job. Training in 3 different styles, but emphasizing on mostly wing chun. My sifu just happens to teach yang taiji with his wing chun for many reasons. He says that training both helps your wing chun skills develope a certain way which is nothing but beneficial to your wing chun.
