Fa-Jing Chuan: Explosive Energy Boxing
Fa-Jing (or Fa-Jin) means explosive energy. Chuan: Boxing. T’ai Chi Chuan teaches Fa-Jing, slowly and surely, as long as we practice accurately and consistently.
Robin, over at Obey My Blog, spent two years studying T’ai Chi to get it:
“…that beautiful squishy center o’ mine generated a PA-PA-PA-POW! And totally surprised me.”
We gain Fa-Jing by practicing the System of Taijiquan.
Systems include many parts. Reviving Taiji reveals 5 distinct aspects that martial arts systems should include: moving naturally, striking things, practicing forms, interacting with people, and knowing acu-points and crazy applications.
And Taijiquan Systems include many specific tools…
- Qigong
- Long Forms
- Single Pushing Hands
- Double Pushing Hands
- Corner Pushing Hands
- Weapons Forms
