This is an absolute goldmine of an instructional video! Theory, method, and demonstration woven together like a spiders web. You do not want to miss this one. Thank you so much for your generosity Master Chen!

very clear explanations of “adding” through sequential change in position, without force, without fighting. The analogy of the spider web, attaching to the moth point by point until it cannot escape was very powerful. Good material that can be applied to our understanding no matter the movement we are using.

Really good training setup for people that can already pool yin and yang in the dantien, center hip joint from both legs, and releasing it. The 5 point pin helps me pinpoint where the energy is going, as well as using the knowledge of where force vectors go in my own body, to set things up in advance for the enemy’s body, since those bodies function on the same principles.

The middle section reminds me of Sun Tzu’s the Art of War. Know yourself and know your enemy. Thinking ahead, planning traps.

The shearing force demo reminds me of the no inch punch. A shock type impulse hit using gravity vectors, no matter what is being touched. Chen Zhonghua’s English and probably Chinese explanations have improved dramatically over the 2 or 4 years I’ve seen of the seminar vids. My original instructors over at Target Focus Training, prioritized a lot of this vector force mechanics using gravity, with no great emphasis on specific techniques except as examples. Studying Newton’s Laws, vectors, impulse force, has helped me visualize a lot of this energy, that would otherwise be called magick, mystical forces, chi, or EM (electro magickal) fields.

Since this video helped fill in some of the pieces to something I’ve been researching, I thought that those who had access to this might be able to find my work useful as well.
