Not sure what you mean by outside movement in this context.

Bridged V non-contact outside free movement.

[duende]

I'm beginning to suspect that people here aren't really getting what running away from energy really means.

[Ultimatewingchun]

Bridged V non-contact outside free movement.

***Are you referring to what we call in TWC the exchange step?

I'm beginning to suspect that people here aren't really getting what running away from energy really means.

Well there is certainly more than one way to interpret that..

Why not explain exactly what you mean by it?

***Explain your suspicions.

Giving up space. Not truly influencing your opponent on contact.

Talk more later... Gotta run.

No.

I am making a distinction between "movement" when bridged/in-contact Vs "movement" when outside, often in pre-engagement, and mainly as it applies to sparring or competitive fighting.

This, that, and the wisdom (based upon experience) to know the difference."

YOU SAID THIS:

"I assume you are including outside movement?

I like to make the distinction.. When on the outside (dueling) there is no 'wrong' way to move...so long as it works for you.." (Jim)

***Well, yeah... so long as it works for you...there's no right or wrong way from non contact - because there are A number of things you can do from there.

The above is called resistance force or Tiing Jin. it is a resistance because the "spring" can break due to over loaded by the in coming momentum or curve momentum. and at the instant, one loaded, one needs to keep one's position and balance carefully. one needs to move with care; and the "spring " itself is problematic when it face wrestling when incoming force vectors are keep changing and one needs to constantly adjust one's structure to keep up with that changes.

Hua Jin or dissolve force is analogy to pushing into a huge bag of packaging pop con filler. the bag of pop con filler doesnt response back. but the pusher cant "focus" one's force. due to one is like a bag of pop con without little link to the pusher's force, one is more free to move with less needs to keep up with what is the in coming changes compare with resistance jin.

That too is in the WCK YJKYM structure. This type of force vectors re align art is an advance art in TCMA IMA, along with WCK's Short Jin , these are lost items and it is totally counter intuitive compare with those theories of structure. It is extremely not baijong or kiu sau at all. it is let go and let god. See a Pop con back doesnt need to bai jong or kiu sau, you can hug it any way you want.

Hendrik,

What exactly is packaging pop con filler?? can you post a link to what it is?

I think he means popcorn filler! LOL!

Towards or away from the energy?

[chusauli]

Sure KFF!

"Dampening the energy" is when your opponent is real sweaty and your arms get all wet during Chi Sao practice!

Shhh! Its a secret!

I'm afraid there's not much I can teach you on this forum without the physical interaction and in person interaction. I don't have much time as patients keep me busy!
