[RD'S Alias - 1A]

Yep, that is some nice internal power generation from Max Chen.

sanjuro_ronin: Excellent clip of Max's work.. i have trained with the Chens, and yep, that was some good internal power.. the point being, that used appropriately, it is almost unobservable.. the internal aspect was most observable in the set-up.. classic uprooting and push, followed by a very well executed kick while the opponent was struggling with position correction.. nice work.

Be well..

just to consider for a moment that the guy he fought was absolutely horrible, no structure, no footwork, no timing, no clue...

Funny thing is, call it what you will, its all about hitting people hard, and if you can't do that under pressure, to make your power generation system function at some kind of core level when the adrenal glands kick in, than the whole deck of cards comes falling down on one lonely dwarf hooker.

I don't think I'm the one in the huff here RD. lol

seriously though, 'internal/external' division is a load of crap.

holistic is what we are.

When I read the title of how do you explain internal vs external I had an answer but realized you guys were talking about something else.

That tai chi link was good Ronin but you can see that these students actually use more of a full body movement. You can see the full body movement link up in some of these short forms.

This method has also been proven to result in higher qi levels than average.

Internal and external are both inherent to Martial Arts.. the question is one of focus and balance.. most result for least effort..

Be well..

Hi Sicilian Tofu M: Kudos.. It is absolutely great to see people taking a good look at the Connective Tissue System (CTS).. i've been studying it for years and find that it is a very critical component to understanding the whole process.. and, we're just beginning to research the CTS's amazing properties/connections.. There is so much more to it than the clip implies.. Rick Barrett's "Through the Western Gate" is a good read on the subject.. also, Lynne McTaggart's "The Field"..

Be well..
