So in a wave, imagine there's a wave like this, right? You see it in math, hyperbola, what do you call it? Something like this. So there's a beginning where it's low and then the middle where it's high and then at the end it's low. So let's look at a punch. I'm gonna punch him, okay? There's a beginning, which is right when I start the punch. There's the middle when I punched him and then there's the end when I finished my punch. Now where is the most power? In the middle, all right? Because if I punch him from here, the punch, the power hasn't started yet. Much power as I get, okay? In the middle, boom, the power has been transferred. At the end, I already punched him and I'm about to pull my hand back. The power has been transferred so there's no power there, okay? So that is external power. So what is internal power? Well, internal power is like a field, not like a wave. What is the field that we are most accustomed with? What's the field? It's the magnetic and gravity field of earth. So to demonstrate what a field is, let's take a look at the wall. Okay, punch that wall, Will. Which one hurt more? You or the wall? Me. You hurt more than the wall did, okay? Let's try another one. I want you to punch the ground. You don't want to punch that hard. Because what hurts more, the ground or you? Okay, so we know that the earth is like a field. The difference between the wave is that the wave is the beginning, middle, and end. With the field, it's always there. There's no beginning, there's no end. It's just always there, just like the ground, just like a wall that's attached to the ground. So what do you want to do if you want to have internal power? Is to be like the ground, or be connected to it as much as you can. So for example, let's say that I'm in the defense and he punches me, he attacks, right? Boom, boom, boom, boom. Now when he hits my elbow, who hurts more? Me or him? Me. He hurts more. Why? Because I'm a solid obstacle connected to the ground and with the heart's pointy surface, of course it's gonna hurt him more than hurt me. So that's the main difference between external and internal power. One is the wave, it's got a beginning, middle, and end, and the other one is that it's always there. So one of the first keys of becoming very powerful with your punches is to combine external with internal power. So what do I mean? I want to be connected to the ground and be as heavy as possible so that I will use gravity as much as possible because the earth, you can't move the earth. So the more connected you are to it, the more heavier you are, then the more you can bring that gravity into your power punches. So how do you get yourself to become heavier and more connected to the ground so you have more internal power? There are six ways of doing it. Make sure that you have a centered center of gravity. Now if I go like this, where's my center of gravity? Towards my shoulders, towards my front, right? And then I'm going to punch like this. Not very powerful, right? How about this? Where's my center of gravity? My shoulder's going backwards. I'm going to punch like this. Not that powerful. Now I'm just going to stand up straight. Now where's my center of gravity? Connected to my feet. So to be heavy, you want to get most of your center of gravity into your feet. If you do this, it's not actually going into your feet, it's actually falling forwards. If you do this, it's actually falling backwards. So if you just stand up a little bit straighter, you'll get more power. You see a little bit more, just from standing straight up. Step number two is to straighten up your spine. So not only do you stand up straight, almost want to straighten up your spine, is to spend your head like this, nice and tall. Let your hips drop down so your spine lengthens out. So I'm going to do that right now. It's all lengthened out. And I'm going to do a punch. You can hear the difference. It's more impact. So the third way of getting heavier with more internal power is to breathe out. So I'm going to do everything I just did and then breathe out. So why does breathing out give you more power? It's because it helps you to relax. So one way of getting more gravity working for you is to relax. Because when you breathe out, it relaxes your muscles. And then it relaxes your joints. And relaxation is what helps all that energy go to your feet and into the ground. Secret tip number four is to relax and stay loose. So when I say relax, it doesn't mean to collapse. It means to stay loose, but still have the structure. Still have your spine straight. Still have your weight centered on your feet. So when I add that to the ensemble, then you get this. So I'm weighted down. I'm straight. I'm breathing out and loose. And then I go up. So you got a little bit more power from that. Secret tip number five is to drop just a little bit, just an inch when you're doing their attack. So I don't mean drop this much. That's too much. So just drop an inch like that. And suddenly drop like that. So I'm going to do that and do all the stuff from secret tip number one to four plus number five. So you can see him move a little bit more because it's more powerful. Final one is to use visualization. What I mean by that is now I'm going to use all that. But now inside my mind, I'm going to visualize that my feet are rooted into the ground. Just imagine it's like a tree trunk. And it's got roots coming out of the bottom of my feet. And all those roots are like sucking me into the ground. So I want to make my consciousness and awareness below my feet. If you can't get it lower, just think about your feet. So all you have to do is just think about your feet. Wiggle your toes around, move your feet so you can think and feel your feet. And then once you can do that, think even below and feel below your feet if you can do it. So now I'm going to add them all together. So looseness, sinking into the ground, straight spine, relaxation, breathing, and also visualization. Combine all those techniques and you'll get more power in your punches. So you're probably asking, well, that doesn't work in the fight. Because in the fight, you move around. There's a lot of movement. You don't have time to think about your feet. You don't have time to ground yourself. You don't have time to be like a wall because the wall doesn't move. But in the fight, you've got to move. So what do you do? Well, the key is that when you train the Qigong methods that I teach you in my Qigong videos, is you practice that visualization. You practice the alignment of your body. You practice getting heavy and feeling very heavy so that whenever you're moving around, you bring that heaviness with you. Even though I'm moving, I have all the heaviness happening with you. I can even be on my toes, but my heaviness is still on me. I don't even have to be on my heels. So for example, you bring up the pad, I'm moving around. I can still get the power even though I'm moving around. So that's how you combine external power with internal power together to become 10 times more powerful than you are right now.
