    How to use your Body alignment

    How do you use your body alignment to generate power?

    what do you do to develop whole body power?

    the kuit kuen says:

    - The body follows the movement of the hands. The waist and the stance move together.

    - Complement the hands with posture to make good use of the centerline.

    - Coordinate the hands and feet. Movement is together.

    - Short arm bridges and fast steps requires practicing the stance first.

    - Turning the stance with a circular movement, will allow superior generation of power.

    - The steps follow turning of the body like a cat.

    - The posture complements the hands to eject the opponent.

    - Unite your waist and stance.

    - Coordinate your hands and feet.

    - Movements must be agile.

    - Chum Kiu trains the stance and the waist; the arm bridge is short and the step is narrow.

    - Turning the stance with a circular movement, will allow superior generation of power.

    - Power is generated from the joints. Strength originates from the heels.

    - The knees lead the stance. The waist links the body. Where the mind goes, the eyes go, and the hands and feet follow.

    - Feet and hands work together, and the threat comes to an end.

    - In uniting the waist with the stance, power can be generated.

    - Use alterations in stepping forward and backward. Hands and feet should be closely coordinated.

    Quoting the kuen kuit without a guide does not do much. Each part has to be developed piece by piece and then aligned and the whole structure has to be united. Not a technique and no a simple task...learning wing chun.

    To answer the question directly, I practice body alignment to deliver power by drilling/sparring with my training partners. This is like asking "how do you fight" or "how do you drive"? It's far to general of a question imo.
    can you be more specific?

    And I'd agree with Joy on this , quoting/reading the kuit isn't going to teach you this.
