We know, Chen's engine is the 37 postures with the 3 different levels total of 9 degree training or cultivation or development.
From the above, we can see Chen design his art development with loosing the physical, charge up Dan tian, circulate qi in the 12 medirians, and then circulate qi in the ren du or the special medirians group.
Then, only then the training proceed into listen to Jin and knowing Jin and fajin states.
there is a reason why Chen design it this way instead of talking Jin at early level.
That is because Jin is a force vector, and in order to have a good handling alive agile muscle muscle tenden..etc group which could do the job. As in all tcma ima, one needs to fill the muscle with qi to prepare the physical. Otherwise, one can intend but the body say no.
So, after the physical is filled and circulate with qi, the first indication is the physical body feel lighter and lighter. As it says, as light as one extra feather doesnt landed.
At that state, one naturally will be able to listen to others motion or Jin with ease. Then, the development proceed into balancing and projection of Force vectors with the muscle groups get more and more alive and strong.
That is how these Jin and qi stuffs work and develop. The is no qi blast or mind over body, but a mind body evolution.
So, Chen using his 37 postures with the 3 levels to develop his taiji engine. That is very realistic and scientific.
As for WCK, there is an issue today's WCK in general face, and that is the clamping of the knees and the elbow in the center line practice for some. These practice are adapted due to application advantages. However, it blocks one to arrive at the human level 3 degree, and it blocks one from proceed into the earth level where qi circulate to boost muscle and tendon...ect and the agile lively jin support.
Thus, one can predict going the clamping knee or elbow path will not get one to high level of tcma ima. However, it is good for basic fighting. But against advance fighters that will break down. Due to the advantage WCK frame become a hinderance on the human body development.
Finally, think this way, this type of analysis happen in 1850 when Qing general send his advisor to observe the rebels martial art or weapons. One knows the boundary one knows how to develop it and one knows how to break it. One can predict the out come and expect what to get.
No no qi blast but a very scientific process behind tcma ima. And we need to saluted Gm Chen man Ching for his great design.
The same type of analysis can be done on emei, shaolin....etc. and only knowing this, one has the holistic view for the training . It is certainly not that keep training you will get there deal. It s a technology. It is engineering no mysterious at all.
