A Footnote on Intent, "因敵變化視神奇"

To a certain degree, everyone has a little natural ability of unifying Shen Yi Qi. The moment your opponents' Shen Yi Qi unites even a little is when they are most powerful/effective. And once you fully understand how your own Shen Yi Qi (subconscious, conscious, body) works together, you can work on your opponents' too and make them ineffective by disrupting their Shen Yi Qi connection.

How the opponents' own Shen Yi Qi works and how to disrupt it completely depends on the opponent. Everyone is different and we must learn to adapt. Hence the Tai Chi saying "因敵變化視神奇" "Change according to the opponent" applies not just to the opponents' physical force, but to the opponent's complete self.

Hi John,
I still following your work and make some martial drills and experiments with the Aiki principle based in Shen-Yi-Chi manipulation (include that Jing Yuan application in your blog).
Please, if possible, how the zhan zhuang are practiced in Imperial Tai Chi Chuan?
I ask this because in past I trained Yi Chuan and Hsing Yi Chuan, but the theories regard this matter are to much "esoteric". Anyway, your approach are more scientifical, clean and easy to understand.
Thanks in advance my friend!
