Heres The Secret Of Real Tai Chi Chuan Power

Heres The Secret Of Real Tai Chi Chuan Power

By:


A totally wonderful karate book is the martial arts biography by C W Nicol entitled 'Moving Zen.' Amongst the cutting anecdotes is one of my favorites, which concerns the authors run in with Real Tai Chi Chuan Power. Following is that anecdote, and then a short explanation of the energy he encountered.

Mister Nicol, when he was a lower ranking Shotokan student, was sleeping in a rather large Japanese house. A virtual castle, it had a central pillar running up the center of the structure. On that night he was awakened by a booming that actually shook the whole structure.

At first panicked, thinking it was some kind of earthquake, he quickly realized that it wasn't an earthquake, and that something out of the ordinary was happening. He descended through the house, and located the source of the booming in the basement. A Tai Chi Master was striking the central pillar.

This was more power than CW had ever seen, and it was different than the power he had been training in Shotokan. The Karate master (Kanazawa, I believe) present merely observed that there is power, and then thereis superhuman power. The Tai Chi Master continued shaking the massive structure with his fah jing strikes.

To create Fah Jing one needs to push from a rear stance to a forward stance. In the movement he must focus awareness on the sensation of power going through his legs. The power goes up the lower limbs and into the Tan Tien.

The Tan Tien is the body energy generator, and it is the source of power for the body. One must take the energy emitting from the tan tien and course it through the torso to the limbs. Again, the key ingredient is awareness.

Finally, using that same awareness to create a pulsing motion, one focuses on pushing the power through the arms. These three concepts, legs to energy generator to arms, must be tied together by using the body as a whole unit. I know it sounds contradictory, to separate the body into three, and then use it as one, but that is the way it works.

The real secret, of course, is understanding the value of awareness. Awareness is the one thing that can't be measured in this universe, and yet controls all things in the universe. Anyway, that is how it works, and I recommend Moving Zen for further enlightenments concerning such things as Real Tai Chi Chuan Power
