    The Neuroscience of San Ti Shi?.

    SORRY THE PIC'S ARE SO BIG! I grabbed them on the fly, lol.


    "Your mental intention and the flow of qi will cause change to occur inside your body."

    What does qi and nerves have to do with each other?. http://www.ycgf.org/Articles/XY_SanT..._SanTiShi.html

    Focus your mind on the Jianjing points to encourage relaxation of your shoulders and on
    the Quchi points and Shaohai points to cause your elbows to drop. Then, focus your
    mind on the Jiaji point to expand the middle of your upper back and straighten your
    spine. Focusing your mind next on the Tanzhong point and imagining that water is
    trickling down your breast bone to your navel will cause your chest to withdraw slightly
    and feel hollow. After using your mind to achieve these effects, forget everything and just
    experience the comfortable relaxed state of your body and the quietness of your mind.
    Your shen should be fully alert, and you should feel as though qi were gently impelling
    your body to begin moving.
    Can some one explain this in english with reference to the nerves which correspond to each "Point?."

    I have swelling in my left hip like my right leg is bigger than my left lol so I'm redoing all my main forms but focusing on the other side, like I've done years of right punch in a left bow stance as a thrust punch always used the left as a jab. Now, I'm focused on throwing haymakers with the left and using the right for grabbing and doing hip/ankle stances like cat and half split isometrically strictly on my weaker left side.

    I remember Sun Lu Tang mentioning if you face your front palm to your opponnent in San Ti its good for fighting intention, if you face the palm downward to the floor it's good for chi. again neurologically the hell does that mean?.

    My theory is internal Gung Fu is all booty shaking core muscle skills. like in fitness history you got the joke "White men can't jump or you dance like a stiff white guy." I'm sure that has to do with attitude traits such as the white guy sat on his horse bored while the black guy hugged the ground with ambition working his core muscles and hamstrings, but that's another topic. If you watch the first ufc's they all looked like this guy: the third guy from left is a good example, no ass/hamstriings he's all beach muscles like the ad for the guy who got sand kicked in his face...snappy quads, sleak abs, superman chest/shoulders


    up until like Liddell vs Ortiz in the late 90's most sports fighters had that build they didn't do bjj and muay thai knees so like their lower 8 pack had no snappy neural response all they could do was push kicks, stomps and smother the guy with they stupid bellies. now all the ufc young guys are built/cut like a 1982 NYC Break dancer they got floor work and air moves.

    so back to San Ti and my sore leg...when you do Bak Mei Jik Bo you go pull back, spear punch repeat, and on the third time you do an inward palm then step across turn and do an outward chop. now for like the first years that palm and chop is just a form like you're just pushing and then swinging your arm as a single unit, eventually your tricep becomes loose and snappy and it becomes this whole other thing and it's funny I can say that cuz I try it on my left side and it's like my right arm is year 3 level with jik bo but my weak azz left side acts/seems like I've been doing it for like three months. and I mean neurologically that **** feels tedious. I can do 1,2, boxer jab on both sides easily it just takes basic beach/worker swing a hammer muscles like front shoulder, wrist and bicep try to put some ging in your weak hand palm it's like a fairy throwing basebalLs!.

    So my theory things like holding a left San Ti posture for an hour after 7 months you'd have a better neurological awareness of your rear left hamstring muscle which will help you do a more stabilized thrusting step as you kick-punch. What does the whole good for chi-chi moves the punch mean in terms related to English Physiology?.
