This is great. I've been waiting for someone to explain how it actually works. I practice Yin Bagua and we use the fascia in a different way, but it's interesting that both arts rely on fascia.
Very cool about your Bagua practice and fascia! One reason fascia is important is because it is the physical structure that connects the whole body together, as well as where much of our energy meridians reside. And that means when used well, it is capable of so much, is it not? Welcome and thanks for your comment!
After you allow his tension on you to flow over your body (fascia), it appears you use muscle to move him away. Sometimes it is hard to tell watching a video. At the moment you touch do you create a bridge between you, a connection? With this connection, open joints and fascia energized you could move him with intent yes? I am still a beginner in all of this. Thanks again for doing these videos.
Wow this is a great comment and observation. Yes for the sake of illustrating the importance and effect of using Yi to guide this tension over my body surface, I am purposely NOT using any Qi or offensive Yi when I move him. This is to show how vulnerable their balance is to even just muscle force once you apply your Yi and Kao. And you would be right to think that once you master this, in real usage you would follow it up not with just muscle force, but with intent and Qi quality control through the connection you have established. You say you're a beginner in this but you see through my demo to where the future can take you and that's wonderful. It shows you have a good intuition and a perspective that see beyond the immediate and obvious. 😃
Yes you direct it to your outer surface, can be your elbow or your back or any other part on the outside of your body. The elbow is useful to focus on because it has a close relation to activating your Yi.
It works this is way better then using the ground model where you take force through your body i tested it with letting a person push my chest and it was like my friend was pushing a 🧱
@@clementray1410Awesome! Congratulations on becoming a wall! That is an upgrade from being a floor, isn't it? 😄 I really appreciate that you went and tried it. It's wonderful for me to know that people's skills are improving through these little videos!

Another amazing video ! Thank you.
Thank you! I think this is a really important topic for the community and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for another great video and demonstration. This makes more and more sense to me as I continue to watch and learn from you. Thank you!
Thank you for continuing to learn! Looking forward to seeing your continued improvements!
Please leave the text up at least twice as long… It doesn’t help if there isn’t enough time to read it. Otherwise great video!
Thank you for the feedback! I'll keep increasing the time the caption is up!
That would be great. Thanks

@@phoenixmountaintaichi Thank you so much!
So pretty much any pressure you receive you redirect it to your elbow with your yi?
Yes you direct it to your outer surface, can be your elbow or your back or any other part on the outside of your body. The elbow is useful to focus on because it has a close relation to activating your Yi.
@@phoenixmountaintaichi ok ima test it out ima use the water flowing down forearm out elbow idea you had your student use in the video.
