[I:http://sportsrealm.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/AlCase0.jpg]When it come to martial arts explosive power one has to consider the concept of Fa Jing. This is the simple gut oomph that makes such arts as Karate, Shaolin, Tai Chi, and other traditional martial arts superior to sports such as boxing. This is not to speak ill pugilism, this is just to say that there is a theory that, if followed, will make an art out of a sport, and will create a superior human being.
The secret of Fah jing is to drop the weight downwards, which causes a charge of energy to go up the legs and charge up the tan tien. This energy enters the tan tien, which begins to emanate power. The energy coursing out from this energy center can be directed and controlled into the various martial arts techniques.
To ground one’s weight is not just jumping off a rock and landing on the earth. It is a method that will not work if one does not actually put his awareness into the action. Putting weight into the ground without awareness is like dropping an egg on the sidewalk…it just splats.
When you manage to course your awareness into the earth–and this is an actual perception apart from the real universe perceptions of eyes, ears, and so on–you will actually feel the pulse of energy in the legs. It will feel like lightening, and you will suddenly feel like there is great and vast space with your limbs. You will also experience an athleticism like nothing you have ever experienced before.
Oddly, though the energy enters the tan tien, it is the whole body that becomes the depot for the energy. The body will become a tool through which you can direct the energy coming out of the tan tien. This is the point at which your training really starts, because you have to figure out what geometric path the energy has to take if you are going to put it into technique.
Do you generate an edge on vertical circle on one half of the body? Do you transfigure the chi from the vertical to the horizontal, then pulse it out the arm? Do you spiral it through the limbs, as would a Baqua master?
Obviously there are going to be many ways of changing and using this manifestation of energy, once you become able to make it and control it. The real point is to make your martial arts technique able to manifest the chi power. This is a two edged sword of physics that not many martial artists instructors have been able to master.
What we are really expressing, you should understand, is that the body is a motor, and this is a technology new to this planet and to our culture and to our martial arts. But if you can understand this field of knowledge, which I call flux theory, then you will be able to do things with your chi that have, up to this point, been the stuff of legends. The golden age is about to begin, you see, and it is possible through understanding concepts such as martial arts fa jing.
