This video was made for my overseas student Amos Oz to show that how to train for an advanced sword power generation method by practicing the empty handed version first, then proceed to the armed version, and finally optimize it so it become minimized, fluid and mobile. In the end I also put it into a test cut to show the performance.

I can't quite make out some of your more subtle movements. Are you just dropping your weight straight down, or are you coiling your energy down and forward through your right hip and leg (i.e. fa jin methodology)?

Are you just dropping your weight straight down, or are you coiling your energy down and forward through your right hip and leg (i.e. fa jin methodology)? Down and forward. But in the "advanced" "shrink" mode, the lower half is freed from the mechanism so I can move around and strike with the technique without "limitation" on footwork. Making it footwork independent and thus what I called "Airborne Fak Ging".

In actual application, one does it in an almost invisible way. Layman will see "that's so mundane" but the guy getting hit will know it's not a normal, mundane strike. I'm referring to the "another mundane test cut" I posted on the test cut forum. That one is this technique. sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/51192/another-mundane-test-cut?page=1&scrollTo=698202

I've studied CMA for years, and while exaggerated coiling and rooting movements are good for learning the biomechanics, in application the motions are more subtle and internalized. I found that practicing forms in a swimming pool helped a great deal in understanding the often nuanced mechanisms contained within.

That also helps for resistant training for strength too!

Awesome video man. Certainly gives me a good way to practice with limited space

Well, your video reminds me of the videos my kruu sends me about techniques and the ones I send to him for his critical assessment... Seems like even a teacher who is miles and miles away is better than all other sources, no?

Well, not all teacher is the same. ;) I have several overseas students learning through video exchanges like you're.
