TMA, MMA and jing
this was posted in another thread:
"If you have ever been hit by a real kung fu master even at 25% of full power then you will readily know what the difference is. I have felt force from a Hung Ga master, Hsing Yi master, CLF master and Taiji Master. They are all slightly different but each is devastating in it's own way.
The Hung Ga master's poison palm caused my skin to redden and swell up. The Hing Yi masters strike felt like a icey cold needle penetrating into my body. The CLF masters strike felt like I'd been hit by a ton of bricks, etc.
Jing is refined force and power. And it only comes from constant repetition of movement.
Now I'm not saying that XMA and Wu Shu don't require the training of certain Jings. But they are not the same Jings that are trained for fighting. "
Boxers, Thai boxers, judoka, etc. don't normally speak of jing (obviously) - at least not in the sense that cma does, but there's no doubt that they can knock/throw the bejesus outta someone. So, from a CMA perspective, what is the jing being used (as far as you can tell, from having seen the techniques, or from experience if you've trained them) in these styles?
