As soon you get yourself out of danger by moving the hostile force away, you had already neutralized that force which has no effect on you any longer.

There is no mystery about push-hand. It is the principle of yin-yang or the law of physics. For example, If two people are pulling a rope with equal strength, then, one person let go the rope suddenly. Hence, the other person will fall back. The person who pulls the rope is yang; the one who let go the rope is yin. Another example is that when one person leaned to the side, that is the most vulnerable position to be off balanced. The opponent just need to add a little force in the same direction of the fall. Thus two force are aiding in one direction which will make the opponent fall. If the opponent pressing against one's hands, one will low the hands a little bit. The opponent will tend to move back. As soon one senses the opponent tries to move back; one just give it a little uplift. It will push the opponent fallen backward. Again, two aiding forces are are working together to make the opponent to fall back. BTW The sensing of the force of the opponent is called tingjin(聽勁).

What is that mean? He's given some meditations to whom? To you or himself?

Can you put in the time, in the video, to indicate which jump that you are talking about? @dwai How long have you been practiced Taijiquan?

Your subtle energy body is the result from the cultivation of ming. The cultivation of ming is to make alchemy takes place in the body.

I don't know how you came up with this idea but others can't? You are right on the money.

Hi, dwai With all respect, may I have your permission to go into the yin-yang aspect of this thread? Or someone else is interested!

If the definitions are incorrect to begin with, then, all the communication in the discussion process will be out of place and become invalid.

I don't think anyone is still care about this anymore! Besides, this is not the right thread to discuss it.

This is the original Chinese Taoist definition of Neidan(内丹) 内丹是以阴阳变化丶天人合一思想为指导， 以人体为鼎炉，精气神为药物， 注重周天火候炼药，而在体内凝练结丹的修习

Ok, I see where you are coming from. "straight" 直 and "square" 方. The direct translations are correct but they don't apply here. As I had mentioned the compound characters before, here is what they are. 率直 : honest 方法: method; 有方; good method or handle matters well In ancient text, one character was used from the compound characters and assumed the reader knew its meaning. Anyway it is hard to explain if one is not familiar with the language.

To be totally sincere but not hypocritical, this is what is called honesty. If applied to all affairs at different levels, then, it must not be feasible and considered of having a good plan. What do you the contextual meaning is? Please let me hear it from you first. We will get this right together.

I would translate it is as: If applied to all affairs at different levels, then, it must not be feasible and considered of having a good plan.

May I rephrase it and translated as below: To be totally sincere but not hypocritical, this is what is called honesty.

Translating word for word is fine. Have you learn any compound character terms?

道 It was used as the principle of morality by Confucius. Later, then, Loazi comes along and defined all the natural things in the universe as Tao. People should distinguish the two dao's. Yes, you quite right. Thanks! 道教 is a Taoist religious sect. They worship many gods. 道人 or 士 is a Taoist. 道德 : In Confucian, it is the virtue of morality, such as human behavior. 道德 : In Laozi, it is the virtue of Wuwei. A person who follows the principles of nature. Sorry, don't know how to remove the extra quote!

He can but not you. For your health and your baby sake, please stay away from it. Do it inside, not outside where you're at. Your body is not ready for that yet. Not for a long time anyway.

IMHO You can lift a lot more weights than before. You can push the heavy glass doors, a lot easier, in a department store. You can stand on your feet a lot longer without getting fatigue than others You can chop the chicken head with one blow, with a knife of course; and cut up the whole chicken in 5 minutes or less. To add: You can use all that energy on your woman.

No, you cannot do that. You will lose your body temperature in the cold. You will have a greater cold temperature resistance later after proper practice. Beside, you don't want to breathe too much cold air into your lung. It is very bad for the lung.

Yes, the jin(勁, explosive force) is the dominant factor to replace the forms. So, to speak! The forms are needed to practice to train the body to develop the jin. Once, I was told by my teacher that I should be careful how and whom I touch after years of practice. You don't know your own strength by then. Especially, when you push a child. The child can fly off few feet away. Indeed, that is the power of jin.

Please explain that. Can you indicate where is the time slot, in the videos, that both had applied the yin-yang application?

I see you both have lots of jin in the body. I saw you two, to begin with, it was either lots of pulling or pushing real hard. Can you indicate where is the time slot, in the videos, that both had applied the yin-yang application?

Cold temperature is not good for a novice body. Please wait until you become a master.
