發勁的異、同-The difference of the power-push -1

Can you find out the difference between the 1st power push and 2nd one?
If so, then you will realize why we call the key point of ZongYue Taichi (Taiji) is the fingers and palms, just like 2nd one shows.

Our energy is not go through leg to hand. It go out from fingers and palms directly.

你能看出第一個發勁動作和第二個發勁動作的區別嗎？當你看出來的時候，你會發現整個力的傳導是完全不同的，我們宗岳門太極拳講究的是指掌領勁，而不是一般所說的湧泉發勁，學者不可不明辨啊！

拳經：其根在腳，發生於腿，主宰於腰，行於手指，由腳而腿而腰總須完整一氣，乃能得機得勢。
＂其根在腳，發生於腿，主宰於腰＂這裡指的是結構，＂行於手指＂才是指動作的運行起始。
＂由腳而腿而腰總須完整一氣＂這裡指的仍然是身上的結構。所有的論證，都是有大前提的，這裡的大前提是＂手為先、指掌領勁＂，當大前提成立時，要求其他項目，這樣就可以達到＂得機得勢＂的情形。

整個來說，就是一伸手，就要周身一家，結構都調好，手領而動。

9/9的練習-video: practice-video on 9/9

在經過颱風的洗禮之後，終於處理完影片檔，請兩位師兄多注重外三合的練習來修正影片中不足的部份。
After Typhoon, I finished the video file update. Here we can see that Mr. Chen and Mr. Liao need to focus on the outside-3-combinations for better movement.
