Jin

This discussion in rumsoakedfist is very informative. It seems like there are many ways of generating power in the Chinese martial arts. Erle Montaigue enumerated a couple others in his Power Taiji series (copies found here). I think there's something in this, that could probably be used. It's certainly food for thought for me.

Extracting these formulae is fascinating work for me. It's taking the essence of a martial art, finding what makes it work. I like finding articles like this or this that really breaks things down. It reflects on the mastery of these authors that they could describe things so clearly.
