Fajin Demo Sept 09

"Michael was showing us a few things about Tai Chi Fajin, after the day's seminars were over: he's showing the difference between "structure", "bending the bows", and "the bomb" or "true fa-jin", where almost no force is allowed to land on him, but still a powerful fa-jin pulse can be issued, even thru the lightest contact.


I am in the reddish shirt, Louie Prieto Jr. former National push hands champion is in the black taiji legacy shirt & Big Jim Hague from Tucson is a long time Tai Chi player at over 260+ lb.s, and Michael still throws us all around effortlessly...now mind you if he wanted he could make the fajin do internal damage or slam us to the ground or into the nearest wall, but good students are hard to find so he just gently pops us up and out. It is truly amazing and if you haven't felt this before, you need to...otherwise it is hard to believe even watching the videos."

I love to see Mr. Phillips' demonstrations, but I really have no idea what he's doing or how to train it. :(

Ok I have watched this and other MP material he is the real deal. I have read several books on it. I have practiced Yang 108 2 years and I would like to know if I keep at it properly can I get to this state of awareness? I am doing form and standing meditation mostly in goat stance holding 3 balls. Any input you might have would be appreciated.

@TaiChiTex

Thanks, I've been wanting to email him. I have not been practicing Taijiquan very long, but I really love it. I am also learning Yiquan.

By the way, my Taiji teacher has pushed hands with the guys in this video. He is Sifu Dug's student out in Albuquerque, NM. He says y'all are all cool guys!
