I don't know about ki powah, but it's your center of gravity I believe and is the point I focus beginning my whipping power generation motions for strikes. I'm sure it's not a coincidence MAists in ye olden times labelled that point as something mystical and special.

Those interested in Chinese physical culture as it applied to combat sports will probably want to have a look at this thread.

Here's a very basic joint loosening routine that comes from Chen taiji:

... this is the far gentle end of the dao yin spectrum, and accords with what most people do for qi gong (plus or minus some arm swinging).“Most people do not do, but take refuge in theory and talk, thinking that they will become good in this way” -- Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, II.4 -

Yes, I know but, it was one of my favorite routines.The hood mentality is crippling disease, that attacks your nervous system. It makes you nervous of the system. Gangsters and hood rats are especially susceptible to this growth stunting mentality. The hood is where I'm from, but it's not what I am.

But what? It's a classic routine, and one of the one's that's recommended for anyone who's just starting out in this kind of Chinese physical culture. Originally Posted by It is Fake

i'll be glad to do my best. in my pursuit of judo over the last 5 months i have abandoned all my cma training to purely focus my mind on the fine art of throwing motherfuckers on their heads, but i think at this point i should get back into a daily practice of qi gong/dao yin, iron wire (or another form) and stretching.
