Do they!? The rooting through different points of the sole? Bringing Yin energy up? Connection through K1 (yongquan)? Practicing with trees (e.g. Mantak Chia)
I am really curious if you can point to some reference.
Hi from New Zealand,Do you use yin and yang forces during normal combat?Or is it something that requires so much concentration that you can't utilize it when reacting to an attacker? Is it like something you have to prepare for and make a concious effort to use when someone grabs you,or could you say,throw it in amoungst your fast blocking and striking?(every video i see of this sort of thing the master seems to be manipulating energy.......
In my opinion all combat is the same. I use taiji skills to wrap up rowdy patrons and I use Silat skills to slap them around (if ncessary) but I have many times put people down by breaking their structure... Im honestly confused by your questions.. tell you what - If you can send a personal message with what you want to know I will do a vid in response over the next couple of days :)
@mademynamekindoflong hi from the U.S> it seems like u r trying to use the principled of polarity in combat situations. I want to C the vid response, but it really sounds like you just need more training. The point of training is to be able to instantly respond to a threat. At some point, that need to concentrate goes away and becomes a natural state of response. I'm not sure if WuJin deals with this or not, but it seems like what you are talking about
Good stuff. I've been training tai chi for over 30 years and concentrating on many facets. Your concept is intriguing. I will incorporate it with what I'm doing currently and hope my exercise will benefit. Once again, good information.
Because I live in Japan I must follow the culture, that it a REAL dojo with real tatami etc.. Before we enter, EVERYONE takes their shoes off.. thats just how it is here.. To me it doesnt make much difference to my practice personally. But im Aussie, so I love being barefoot even outside, on the beach etc :)

from a still or slow moving position as the attacker grabs them rather than in a fast paced fight)
