Develop FaJin in Wing Chun

[Yoshiyahu]

How do you develop Fajin in your Wing Chun lineage.

There are various ways we do so in mines. There is Hard way and Soft Way. I will discuss some of the ways that develop the application usage faster. Yes indeed practicing the forms while issuing fajin and practicing the weapon forms and punches in the air with Jing does develop it as well. We also have chi gung exercises that cultivate chi and leads to Jing development as well! But the things I listed below are the specific design with Ging Development in mind.

Ways we develop usable Jing!

Hard Way:

The Pole Drill or Gun Sau skill

Of course there is more to it than just this. Like Punching the wall bag with jing, and breaking down the punch to isolate each part of the arm to build each indiviually as well as punching with the entire structure. Also Fast Explosive push ups assit in building your ging in your punches. An standing and balancing on bricks teaches you how to focus your structure and pull power directly from the ground up. There are alot of details one can go into. But what are some of things you guys do as part of your Ging Training?

IMHO, one needs to clearly know what is Jin. Fajin, is a very serious misconception in the west. When people talk about fajin. It often means mimic the Chen taiji way of expressing their strike with their Dan tien rotation and body whipping.

So, often, fajin become something extra instead of something natural . Every style has their way to generate power and express power. Even the yang taichi generate and express power different with the Chen taiji .

In white crane, the karate type of white crane generate power differently with the late evolve fuzou crane.

And it is not necessary that one has to shake their body to fajin. Infact, most of the time for the me too martial artists, that is just show business which Cary no real weight. And also, it might counter the art's characteristics instead of aid it. So, do western boxing needs a fajin?

To begin a serious honest discussion in this topic, one must know what is Jin, what is it relationship with strength, how is the physical body dependency, what the Jin intended to achieve, what is those shake and whip for.......ect

I don't know much about Wu Taiji.

Do you like the footwork and hand skill at 1.06 - 1.14? It should work well with your "snake engine".
