The Ji 擠form of tai chi power compared with Bruce Lee's One-inch-punch: The Ji擠form of tai chi power explained and trained scientificall (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781731358721)

In this booklet, I have started with my scientific explanations of the mystical interpretation of the Ji form of tai chi power by a famous tai chi master, Master Wang Pui-sheng. Many people are impressed with tai chi masters' demonstrations of using this form of power to push demonstration partners in the air. However, if this pushing technique can really be used in a real fight wouldn't it be used by highly paid sports professionals like Sumo wrestlers in Japan? From my researches I have found that the origin of this powerful technique was discovered by Master Guo雲深 y nshēn (1829－1900) of 形意x ng y when he was handcuffed and shackled for three years in a prison. 形意x ng y is a form of martial arts that stress heavily on pile stance training and footwork. Since Master Guo's movements were limited in prison he could only practice pile stance and one step at time footwork. With a lot of practice, he created his「Half step beng punch, 半(meaning half)步(meaning step)崩(meaning collapse)拳(meaning fist), b n b bēng qu n' in Chinese」, with which he knocked out many opponents in one punch. But his punch did not push people in the air. The tai chi demonstration of pushing people in the air was made famous by Yang楊shǎo h u 少侯(1862-1930), one of the sons of Yang楊 L ch n 露禪, the founder of Yang style tai chi, who never bothered to demonstrate his real kung fu. As a bodyguard of the Qing's Imperial members, his kung fu was well witnessed when Yang楊 L ch n 露禪protected his masters by hurting and even killing people. After he died Yang楊shǎo h u 少侯 did not get his job as a bodyguard. He could only make a living by teaching tai chi to the Qing's Imperial members and their friends. I think this is why he thought of using the demonstration of bouncing partners up in the air to win his kung fu credibility. For fear of hurting his Imperial students, he trained Wang汪Yongquan永泉(1904-1987) as his demonstration partner, who could then learn this special kung fu that was regarded as a family secret. Then came Bruce Lee, who was a kung fu fanatic and he probably read about all the above people and their skills in martial art. His one-inch punch and six-inch punch are just as effective as the Ji form of tai chi power. The mechanics are very similar. However, his martial arts training did not help his epilepsy, which is a common brain disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Again from my researches, I think he did not practice his static meditation in a way so that he could do煉精化氣Li n jīng hu q , the process in which jīng (hormonal secretion is my scientific conception of jing精) is used to stimulate the further development of the nervous system, vaguely called qi in Chinese. Please read his famous quote about meditation, "Be like water making its way through cracks." Please compare Bruce's conception of meditation with the highly sophisticated Buddhist meditation method, called 6 Wonderful Ways, 六妙法門Li mi ofǎ m n, that could lead to 禪定 ch n ding, in which one can enhance one's wisdom, the sign of the evolution of the nervous system. With his highly sophisticated martial arts as a form of Dong gong he could probably cure his epilepsy with a good Jing gong practice of static meditation, during which he could acquire the essential breathing technique, called報身氣B o shēn q in Buddhism or胎息 Taixi, the embryonic mode of respiration in Daoism. Master Sun Lutang, who demonstrated Master Guo's「Half step beng punch」in this booklet is the best example of how to complement his martial arts training as a form of Dong gong with his pile stance as a form of Jing gong and he attained Enlightenment. Master Guo雲深 y nshēn's 「Half step beng punch」also shows us that the form of dong gong that complements jing gong does not have to be complicated or slow like tai chi quan as a form of martial arts.
