[Martial Arts] Fist Rising Power ReleaseAuthor: Jeffi Chao Hui Wu Fecha: 29-6-2025 Domingo, 4:23 a.m. ········································ [Martial Arts] The Power of the Fist
Sydney winter, around 5:15 AM every day, the seaside temperature is 6 degrees, and the wind chill makes it feel like only 2-3 degrees. I only wore a long-sleeve autumn T-shirt and quick-dry long pants, sometimes with gloves, and no thermal layers. My hands felt a bit cold, but my knees and feet didn’t feel cold at all; I wore summer golf balls only to protect my Baihui point from wind and cold.
Standing on the grass by the sea, without any warm-up, I directly began practicing the first round of Tai Chi, and after about three to five minutes, my body started to warm up. By the end of the fist form, I was feeling warm and sweating. Next, I practiced a round of Tai Chi sword, and throughout the session, I was noticeably sweating, especially with heat rising at the back of my neck, and I was clearly sweating from my neck. Naturally, I took off my wind cap, and my back gradually began to sweat as well. Then I entered a horse stance for thirteen minutes, with a continuous flow of sweat, stable energy movement, unlike before when I needed to rely on standing post to activate the warmth.
Over the past year, I have never interrupted my practice, regardless of wind or rain, cold or heat; I persistently practice every morning, averaging at least one and a half hours each day. The content includes horse stance, Wuji stance, Tai Chi, Tai Chi sword, Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg, Yi Jin Jing, and more. In the beginning, I needed to rely on the horse stance to generate heat before entering the state, but now, I can generate power as soon as I start my fist, quickly warming up without any warm-up, reflecting a fundamental change in the internal structure and energy flow.
In the past, it was said to "practice with power," meaning to stand in post before practicing the fist, extending the remaining energy sensation into the fist form. Now, my physical state no longer requires this transition. As soon as I start the fist, the energy is generated; the energy arises from the fist, the form initiates the energy, and the energy and form, strength and style become one. It’s not about exerting more force or being more deliberate, but rather the result of sitting the hips solidly, opening the hips for smoothness, and relaxing the whole body, allowing the energy to flow automatically.
I summarized that the key to achieving "power generated from the fist" lies in: every move and form I perform is based on low stances and structural hip sitting. It’s not about casually and loosely moving the fist, but rather completely transforming the stillness of the horse stance into the structural hip sitting of the moving fist form. In other words, I have directly integrated the energy activation process of "standing in post before practicing the fist" into the fist itself. With every initiation of a form, the hips act like a chair supporting the whole body, the structure is established, and the energy activates itself.
A year of uninterrupted practice is not a task, but a daily rhythm. This does not rely on willpower to push through, but rather on the body becoming increasingly comfortable and the energy and blood flowing more smoothly as a natural guidance. I am very clear that this state is not about profound cultivation, but rather a real change accumulated from years of genuine practice.
