New Excerpt From Inside Zhan Zhuang

'The Paradox Of Internal Power' - continued from 6/21 post


"The easiest place to start is to think of internal power as something not ruled by physicality. In other words, if in your mind, inside yourself, you can gather a volcanic explosive force and issue it instantaneously at the speed of thought, this does not have very much dependence on the physical delivery, which chances are will be smooth and internally explosive on contact.

But here’s where people get off track. They think that speed and explosiveness are all there is to internal power. These two factors are the delivery method, nothing more. The content, the Chi or bio-electromagnetic energy actually does not respond well to tension, in fact tension cuts off or short-circuits Chi flow."
