[@tranquil_dude]

interesting ! :) my teacher also teaches us the "sink the flesh and let the bones stand" thing, but this is the first time I've heard such a straightforward explanation of how it affects the grounding and transmission of force through the body. thank you !

[@QuentinKLEau]

It is the reaction force in physics and that is taught in high school, at least the science section in France.

[@simonegamberoni3022]

It's great to hear how some of this practice feels inside, not from Adam himself but from one of his students. Thank you all, you keep inspiring me to commit to everyday practice. Cheers!

[@XieTianXieDi888]

Hats off to both of you. Taiji guy is able to explain things in simple physics instead of just saying that there is a “magical force” and the wrestling champ has an open enough mind to listen and see if he can learn something useful.

[@cyberreality7774]

Lol at you for thinking consciousness influencing reality is some form of "magic". Being in a old paradigm doesn't make other people " Talking about magic" just like having a iPhone would bè magic to someone from 500 years ago

Is the why there are times when I feel like the full weight of gravity is pushing down on me? Particularly in my arms and hands? Just FYI, I'm not trained in any martial arts. I just feel very heavy if I am concentrating in a certain way...

[@azlaroc12]

Excellent.

[@rolaraus]

Super interesting... How important is timing, such as between neutralizing and the release that moves your opponent? Does that come naturally?

[@ramzi_nabulsi]

The better you get the less gap there is between neutralising, seizing and releasing. It doesn't come naturally as it's entirely unnatural. But it comes through correct practice and touching many hands.

[@sebastienfedele9703]

[@greg6509]

Great vid Ramzi! Appreciate your sharing! Question: I noticed Sifu Mizner in vids basically saying if you lift weights you can't get to the higher levels in Tajiquan. I lift weights to stay healthy with my body weight and strengthen the bones. I notice you have significant muscle and still do external arts too. So I guess I'm asking for confirmation that I still could lift weights and with the discover Taichi program online and coaching from instructors such as yourself I can still actually achieve real internal skills in Taichi while still hitting the gym. Your insights?

@@taichiworld this fellow was a fighter however it's hard to fight back when you have lost your feet. The instinct not to fall is hardwired so most people cannot fight back if they are trying to catch their balance. This was an example of someone's root being taken real time.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rdnoigmZubmZY Newtonian Cannon shows the science but to get your body and mind to the level that the science can apply takes training under a capable master such as Ramzi Nabulsi(a teacher in this video trained by Adam Mizner) or Nima King(a teacher trained by CST).

How do u resist non resistance?

[@ramzi_nabulsi]

with greater non resistance.

[@Jehu303]

Can weight training harmonize into this kind of power development? Whole body stuff, like deadlifts, cleans, kettlebells, maces etc? Or are they entirely detrimental to it?

[@ramzi_nabulsi]

From my experience I don't recommend trying to use this method for heavy lifting. Heavy lifts need a body fortified in tension. You can train both heavy lifting and Taiji if you know how to switch systems.

[@Jehu303]

@@ramzi_nabulsi Thank you for the clarity. Much appreciated.

[@Shinbusan]

I would like to point out we should understand between explaining physics of movement and visualisation. Here sifu is explaining his visualisarion. The sentences in physics are bullshit. But these sentences helps practitioner to feel and imitate the actions and proper tension of body. I often hear such nonsense in aikido but I get it. It is hard to talk about inner feelings of body.

[@mickmcsherry5916]

Cool. Should work real well in MMA bouts, right? Someone should get into the cage and see. Let me know how that goes.

Where exactly did this guy wrestle? He certainly is not standing in any wrestling stance. Widen your legs and bend your knees and then you won’t get pushed around… I call BS

[@ramzi_nabulsi]

thanks for asking Rick. Absolutely he's not standing in a wrestling stance because we are not wrestling. I'm demonstrating a methodology. Could you imagine if I was trying to demonstrate a boxing combination and my pad holder insisted on folding up into a philly shell? Regarding his resume this fellow has competed internationally in both wrestling and jiujitsu and has won gold in both disciplines.

[@joelvelezjv76]

Been a practioner of Yang Taichi for 20 years and I don't understand all the mumbo-jumbo. The fact is his taking advantage of angles, hitting his flat angle posture and stepping between his legs while his standing straight. Always Angle your feet, bend the body slightly and keep distance.

[@ramzi_nabulsi]

Wow 20 years! You should demand a refund.

[@WuzuquanSpain]

While I don't agree with how many teachers of Chinese martial arts say to *totally* relax *all* the muscles (I agree with what they say, just not how they say it), Ramzi is simply describing Newton's third law in action. When you relax downward, while maintaining good posture, you send force down into the ground and there is an equal and opposite reaction, which (because you are relaxed and poised) you can re-direct into your opponent. In this video, Ramzi uses that to upset his partner's "root". Similarly, when your opponent pushes you, if you are relaxed and poised, you can use your whole body to let that force ripple along your relaxed form into the ground and then use the reaction to send it back to your opponent. I'm not sure how Newton's third law is "mumbo-jumbo".

[@DJAraRealSalsa]

@@ramzi_nabulsi Not only should he demand a refund but also sue for damages for the 20 years he wasted! Great video, by the way!

[@david9180]

There is a point of view with different concepts ' 20 years of form should provide a body that instinctively knows what to do '' I practised cheng min.ching form for about 5 years and was attacked and the guy flew across the room and was hurt and honestly I didnt know what I did '' I still practise the form with more release and the more I am not there the more progress there is '' I also practise sun lu tang form which creates more fa jing ' not everyone learns from explanation '' it should just happen ' either way we are all walking the path from life to death and should recognize the value of humility because humility allows for space to learn something and maintains harmony

[@chrisbera7952]

It's all biomechanics. Chi is b.s, otherwise he could use it to shot put, long jump, etc... He's just shoving the guy with good biomechanics who also happens to be a lot smaller than him. No Thia Chi guys in the octagon. Might be good for health, but wouldn't bother learning it for fighting, even if you can shove well, your time is much better spent learning other things, wrestling for instance . In fact this guy is letting him get in a shove position. No arm fighting at all. Let's see that.

[@ramzi_nabulsi]

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” I agree it's biomechanics. Just not the mechanic we commonly understand and use.

[@vidyaruchi4810]

Why don't people use this in MMA? (This is a genuine question. I'm not a sceptical troll, and I know this stuff is real). It just seems like it would give someone such an advantage in a cage fight.

[@ramzi_nabulsi]

Indeed it would. The trouble is so few know this mechanic and it is not easily transferred. It would require a special stable of trainers and the right candidates to make it effective at an elite MMA level. Maybe check in on my sons in another ten to fifteen years :)

[@vidyaruchi4810]

@@ramzi_nabulsi Thanks for the reply. I just read the description of you and it seems that you are already integrating Taiji and MMA. I once asked one of my Taiji teachers whether this was an effective martial art, and he said 'Forget it, if you want to learn to fight learn jiujitsu. If you want physical and mental well-being learn Taiji.' This was a student of Wee Kee Jin, who definitely does teach the physical dynamics that allow for powerful pushing - and indeed a lot of his senior students told me that not many Taiji teachers know that side of it. I suppose I had assumed that it would take too long to be able to release chi powerfully enough to be able to use it in a real fight against fit, strong young men. But I see that you have only been training Taiji for ten years, and already are able to release force from quite a deep level. That gives me hope! But I guess that one would also need to learn other skills such as footwork, feinting, groundwork etc.

Another big reason is intention. Fighting for fame and money is a profit and ego based intention.

The positioning, placement and timing aspects of Internal Martial Arts are at best intermediate levels. Try not letting og and just staying 'loose' in a real confrontation. Again, you are judging the excellent contents of this video based on your own limited paradigm as regards the internals!
