Li Hao: The Secrets of Force Generation and Body Speed in Jeet Kune Do
What is 'Wa Ma He Yi'?
Various actions, such as 'Chong Chui', 'Side Kick', 'Hook Kick', etc., have become commonplace in every dojo and every master's teaching. It seems that these actions are essential foundations, and many practitioners tend to think that once they master them, they have mastered the core.
Is this true? If a master only teaches these, without...Emphasizing the method of force generationThen congratulations, your tuition is wasted, haha!
The most important core technique of Sanda is force generation. Without reasonable and correct force generation, all your techniques will be meaningless.Li Xiao Long, a master, paid attention to every action and every angle, and was able to generate tremendous power. This shows that he highly valued force generation. So, how should we generate force?
Most people say the well-known phrase: 'Wa Ma He Yi'.
That's correct, but what is 'Wa Ma'? Today, let's delve into this question in detail. Most answers are: lower body, legs, and the waist combined, using the power of the waist!
Sorry to disappoint you, if you twist your waist or rotate your waist, the long-term result is not only bad for your waist but also for your spine. Excessive strain can make you like athletes overtraining, leaving injuries.
Don't try it yourself.
Remember, it's the hip that generates force, not the waist! The hip drives the spine, and the overall force is transmitted from the back, which is a comprehensive force.Don't think that it's force generated from the ground. It's not wrong to use ground force. But don't forget, you are not here to learn how to push and pull, you are here to learn Sanda.Let's share the first article focusing on force generation. Please think carefully and practice with your heart. After all, Sanda has unique methods of force generation. Because...Kung fu is art, not manual labor.
Speed is an essential element of Sanda.How to achieve a faster speed than ordinary people is a condition that every Sanda practitioner must possess.Many of us practitioners are pursuing speed, constantly accelerating our punches and kicks, even pursuing extreme speed. However, we often encounter a phenomenon: we don't seem to achieve a good speed, and we often have only speed without power.
Why is this happening? Some people say: speed comes with power!This statement needs to be analyzed rationally and relatively, and we shouldn't be too absolute.Li Xiao Long emphasized this.Why was Li Xiao Long fast? Because he knows how to relax.
This explanation reveals the core of everything.
Multi-faceted combination, structure, and produce a fluid body speed, your movements will naturally become faster. And it's relaxed and powerful.We hope everyone can experience it from the inside out.
Every correct posture, body speed, and generated force are the core.
Don't blindly pursue 'speed.' Speed is the comprehensive force generated by the whole body.
Like the turtle, it's sudden when it stretches its head.Like the crocodile, its hunting speed is surprising when it attacks.Like the snake, its movements are smooth, and its attack speed is like an arrow from a bow.
We hope everyone can deeply understand the source of true speed and power.
