As everyone knows, Muscle is the headstream of the human power. When the muscle shrinks in a very short time, body can get a great power. There are about 600 pieces of muscle on human’s body. These pieces are short or long, they can shrink and stretch, can bend and turn. All these movements are controlled by the brain. Without the muscle, human can do nothing. A piece of Muscle is made from numbers of myocyte. Muscle can be named by the function and the places in the biology field. A powerful man equals a man who has a set of powerful muscle and understand how to use it. That’s why the bodybuilders can’t gain the power continuously for long time even they have a set of very heavy one.
In the martial arts, especially in Wing Chun, the muscle shrinking progress is very important. According to the data, if 6cm(square) of the muscle shrink at the same time, it can lift 20kg~60kg things. And some scientists found that, if all of the human’s muscle(about 300 billion myocyte) shrink on the same direction, the power can be above 25T. From the data of the research, a healthy young man can get 50% bigger muscle through a half year training. Of course, muscle is controlled by the brain thus, when one is in danger, he/she will be more concentrate than usual so that the muscle is stimulated more and can get the greater power to save him/herself. That’s exactly what Wing Chun asks for.
