In this booklet, I have started with my scientific explanations of the mystical interpretation of the Ji form of tai chi power by a famous tai chi master, Master Wang Pui-sheng. Many people are impressed with tai chi masters'' demonstrations of using this form of power to push demonstration partners in the air. However, if this pushing technique can really be used in a real fight wouldn''t it be used by highly paid sports professionals like Sumo wrestlers in Japan? From my researches I have found that the origin of this powerful technique was discovered by Master Guo雲深 yúnshēn (1829－1900) of 形意xíng yì when he was handcuffed and shackled for three years in a prison. 形意xíng yì is a form of martial arts that stress heavily on pile stance training and footwork. Since Master Guo''s movements were limited in prison he could only practice pile stance and one step at time footwork. With a lot of practice, he created his「Half step beng punch, 半(meaning half)步(meaning step)崩(meaning collapse)拳(meaning fist), bàn bù bēng quán'' in Chinese」, with which he knocked out many opponents in one punch. But his punch did not push people in the air. The tai chi demonstration of pushing people in the air was made famous by Yang楊shǎo hóu 少侯(1862-1930), one of the sons of Yang楊 Lù chán 露禪, the founder of Yang style tai chi, who never bothered to demonstrate his real kung fu. As a bodyguard of the Qing''s Imperial members, his kung fu was well witnessed when Yang楊 Lù chán 露禪protected his masters by hurting and even killing people. After he died Yang楊shǎo hóu 少侯 did not get his job as a bodyguard. He could only make a living by teaching tai chi to the Qing''s Imperial members and their friends. I think this is why he thought of using the demonstration of bouncing partners up in the air to win his kung fu credibility. For fear of hurting his Imperial students, he trained Wang汪Yongquan永泉(1904-1987) as his demonstration partner, who could then learn this special kung fu that was regarded as a family secret. Then came Bruce Lee, who was a kung fu fanatic and he probably read about all the above people and their skills in martial art. His one-inch punch and six-inch punch are just as effective as the Ji form of tai chi power. The mechanics are very similar. However, his martial arts training did not help his epilepsy, which is a common brain disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Again from my researches, I think he did not practice his static meditation in a way so that he could do煉精化氣Liàn jīng huà qì, the process in which jīng (hormonal secretion is my scientific conception of jing精) is used to stimulate the further development of the nervous system, vaguely called qi in Chinese. Please read his famous quote about meditation, "Be like water making its way through cracks." Please compare Bruce''s conception of meditation with the highly sophisticated Buddhist meditation method, called 6 Wonderful Ways, 六妙法門Liù miàofǎ mén, that could lead to 禪定 chán ding, in which one can enhance one''s wisdom, the sign of the evolution of the nervous system. With his highly sophisticated martial arts as a form of Dong gong he could probably cure his epilepsy with a good Jing gong practice of static meditation, during which he could acquire the essential breathing technique, called報身氣Bào shēn qì in Buddhism or胎息 Taixi, the embryonic mode of respiration in Daoism. Master Sun Lutang, who demonstrated Master Guo''s「Half step beng punch」in this booklet is the best example of how to complement his martial arts training as a form of Dong gong with his pile stance as a form of Jing gong and he attained Enlightenment. Master Guo雲深 yúnshēn''s 「Half step beng punch」also shows us that the form of dong gong that complements jing gong does not have to be complicated or slow like tai chi quan as a form of martial arts. I have experimented with walking, swimming and using the various tennis strokes as the different levels of dong gong practice and initial results are encouraging.

A guide to the seemingly effortless yet explosively powerful martial art techniques of Fa Jin • Explains how to collect energy within and discharge it for self-defense as well as healing • Explores how to counter the natural instinct to resist force with force and develop yielding softness through the 13 Original Movements of Tai Chi • Illustrates routines for the partner practice of “Push Hands” (Tui Shou) Fa Jin, an advanced yang style of Tai Chi, complements the physical, mental, and spiritual conditioning available through solo Tai Chi practice and the internal martial arts of Taoism. Fa Jin enables adepts to harness the energy of yin, yang, and the earth in the lower tan tien and discharge it as an extremely close-range yet explosively powerful blow in self-defense and partner practice as well as in healing techniques. Integrating the teachings of many Taoist masters, including Chang San-Feng, the creator of Tai Chi; Wang Tsung-Yueh, the legendary 19th-century master; Bruce Lee, the actor and martial artist who made the “one-inch punch” technique famous; and the Magus of Java, a living master able to discharge energy in the form of electric shocks, this book explores the history, philosophy, internal exercises, and physical practices of Fa Jin. Drawing on Iron Shirt Chi Kung and Tan Tien Chi Kung techniques, Master Mantak Chia and Andrew Jan reveal the secrets to collecting yin and yang in the lower tan tien and discharging the energy in a seemingly effortless yet explosive blow. Illustrating several routines of the Tai Chi partner practice of “Push Hands” (Tui Shou), they explain how to apply Fa Jin techniques by “listening” to your opponent’s intentions and countering the natural instinct to resist force with force through yielding softness and redirection. The authors also detail how to prepare for this advanced practice through stretching, meditation, breathing, relaxation, and energetic exercises.

James W. DeMile is one of the few people to whom Bruce Lee ever taught the power punch; not because it is difficult, but because Bruce wanted to keep it an exclusive technique. At the time, the author agreed with Lee. But now, he believes it is time the striking power and techniques be taught to all who wish to learn them.

In the spring of 1959, eighteen-year-old Bruce Lee returned to San Francisco, the city of his birth. Although the martial arts were widely unknown in America, Bruce encountered a robust fight culture in the Bay Area, populated with talented and trailblazing practitioners such as Lau Bun, Chinatown’s aging kung fu patriarch; Wally Jay, the innovative Hawaiian jujitsu master; and James Lee, the Oakland street fighter. Regarded by some as a brash loudmouth and by others as a dynamic visionary, Bruce spent his first few years back in America advocating for a modern approach to the martial arts, and showing little regard for the damaged egos left in his wake. The year of 1964 would be an eventful one for Bruce, in which he would broadcast his dissenting worldview before the first great international martial arts gathering, and then defend it by facing down Wong Jack Man—Chinatown’s young kung fu ace—in a legendary behind-closed-doors showdown. These events were a catalyst to the dawn of martial arts in America and a prelude to an icon. Based on over one hundred original interviews, Striking Distance chronicles Bruce Lee’s formative days amid the heated martial arts proving ground that thrived on San Francisco Bay in the early 1960s.
