Internal Strength and Relaxation Demo 1- FLKF Martial Arts of Tempe AZ

http://www.fallingleaveskungfu.com

This is a DEMO only, or a display if you will of the type of internal strength or internal power that I Liq Chuan™ Spinning Hands and "winding" training can develop. It should be very "elastic" (one of our four stages of relaxation).

I have my partner put their feet behind their hips and do push ups so that it should be obvious that they are A) applying force on me and b) not in a stiff and rigid way and just show that from here I can be relaxed so that I can change yet still support my partners weight (i.e. channel their force down to the ground, which in ILC terms we call "absorb and project").

Of course this is not fighting, it's just ONE skill and a piece of the puzzle that you would bring in to actual fighting. Your ability to use this type of internal power in actual fighting depends on your level of awareness and concentration.

i actually borrowed the idea for this demo from Alex, the Chief Instructor of Russia.

This is the weirdest internal power demo I have ever seen -BY FAR! What's the objective of the exercise?

[fallingleaveskungfu]

@piaten - lol. you have to go through the process of structure, relaxation and energy. so this simple demonstration shows;

a) structure - i can can easily support my partners weight, which is just an obvious example of some force being applied to my body b) relaxation - i can change easily while supporting my partners weight

interresting exercize!

[fallingleaveskungfu]

it's not really an exercise. just a demonstration of relaxation backed up by structure.
