Hi all,
I found an interesting site: http://www.plumflower.com/who_are_we.htm
On the site:
This is the view point of internal force as seen in my school and in some other internal schools that my friends are in. I understand that from the viewpoint of Shaolin-Wahnam, it is chi that is shot from our body or dan tian into the opponent, which disrupts his/her energy field.
I would like to hear some opinions about this, if feasible. Thanks in advanced.

In an internal martial art, the power is generated not for the most part with an isolated muscle group (as in the short initial or setup strikes of the external art) or with the momentum of a large swing, but the power is instead generated in the same way one would push a heavy bookshelf: you round your back and push with your legs using your arms as a means of transferring the legs' power to the object you want to affect...... In fact, if one can apply the power with the speed and the contact time of a slap then the tremendous bookshelf-pushing power remains in the object struck, just as a slap leaves the sting in the object slapped; this is the famous 'shock strike' or 'short power' of the internal martial arts lineage holders.... The short power can rupture organs, while at the same time appearing to bystanders as not very forceful due to the lack of large swinging strokes. This is the source of the mystery surrounding the arts of Xing Yi, Ba Gua Zhang, and Tai Chi as practiced for combat.
I would like to hear some opinions about this, if feasible. Thanks in advanced.
