The "jumping" is found in HK too, but certainly not in all schools. It does add a cool sound to a performance. But in my opinion the ground should tremble because of the "ging" generation and the root to which power flows when "ging" is issued (with both feet flat and solid on the ground) and not because of some added effect.

Most of the time your fist / hand will reach your opponent before the shock power at the end of the movement, and than I prefer to be with both feet on the ground in stead of in the air. So I am very interested to hear why someone would add this "jumping" to their power generation and what the benefit is.
