The COG or center of mass is aligned via the stances and mechanics in order to project that energy into the opponent's COG, generally, in order to disrupt and break his ability to do same. Like a high pressure water hose blowing them down (backward) or you could also absorb, redirect and draw them in forward.
The qwa in the conventional sense does seem to come out when using the biu ma stepping as opposed to the bik ma stepping.. The idea of short bridge qua is interesting, is there some reference to this in CMA in general?
