Hello guys and girls,
Just going over some of my archive hand written notes and came across a list that I have made of diffrerent types of Jing…
Just wondering is anyone has any to add, or would like to share any that I may have missed… be well
Nei
fa
kun
nien
hua
chang
duan
ying
rou
na
fu
leng
jie
ding
ting
chen
ching
You have that many kinds of semen?
Or are you discussing “Jin”?
Are you talking about Tang Lang or just in general?
Let me decipher your list so that there are no duplicates.
Nei (from inside)
Fa (release)
Kun (wrap or tie up)
Nien (stick) as in Zhan Nien Te Kao (contact, stick, bond and strike) in Tang Lang.
Hua (neutralize)
Chang (long) such as Peng Lu Ji An in Tai Ji.
Duan (short) as in Cai Lie Zhou Kao in Tai Ji.
Ying (hard)
Rou (soft or gentle)
Na (capture)
Fu (?)
Leng (?)
Jie (intercept)
Ding (oppose)
Ting (listen)
Chen (sinking)
Ching (light).
There will be hundreds of Jin’s depends on the school of MA.
excellent spj, not sure how many people know these or at least to utilize effectively, i saw some “?” on a couple so i will add.
have you tried to use any of these during techniques or combat?
Hi ED,
Nice topic 
what do you mean by ‘Boyant’ ? I couldn’t find it in the dictionary.
Thanks,
Puja
If my understanding is right, Buoyant is almost a blend of Rou (soft) and Ching (light), or “going with the flow”.
Thanks Becca, now I know which fu (•‚) was meant.
Does anyone have the chin. character (or pinyin with tone) for the ‘ding’ mentioned above?
Best regards,
Puja
ED;
You are right. It takes a long time of practice to appreciate and master these “Jin”.
In Mei Hua Tang Lang, there is the 8 elbows or Ba Zhou routine.
It is consisted of the fundamental postures or Shen Fa to practice all kinds of Jin’s in the school.
So the first step is to study and practice the body structure to be right or perfect.
Jin sensing and issueing are then practiced.
It is all about balance.
If the body structure is not right or the moves are not balanced, the issueing of Jin will not be effective and also injures ourself.
In Tai Ji, push hands are used to study to sense the Jin of the opponent.
In Tai Ji, the long staff is used to practice Jin issueing and transmitting via the staff.
Every school has its own way or system to practice sensing and issueing Jin.
i dont know what are all those names for
SPJ,
I whole hearlty agree with you… I was going over some of these with my students and they couldnt figure out how I was able to knock them off balance with ever so slight of motion.
I was trying to explain the kinetic energy traveling from the toe to the hand. Most were under the impression that…
force = mass x ecceleration and seriously confused when this threory was not apparent.
I met a taiji master many many years ago that was explaining to push with out muscle, when I looked at him with confused eyes he said power comes form the ground not the body… the body only conducts power. If you want to push use energy not muscle… 17 years later I understand what he meant…
Misfortune what is that you do not understand???
i dont understand why you need so many chinese names
I don’t see pushing, following, borrowing, drawing, cutting, crossing, spiraling…

if you move your body at all, you are using muscle..or was he saying the structure has precedence over strength?
I have a lot of Chang Ying Jing
My wife doesn’t like it but my girl freind does:D
Just kidding, my wife likes it too.
I just started reading about this and find it very interesting, I try feeling energy following through my boby sometimes it do sometimes it don’t. I feel like I have to make up for it with my imagination??? I do realize that it takes time and a different way of looking at your own body. Great topic gives me something to think about.

Well, I studied Jing Sun Kung Fu (Vital Essence) for a while until the sifu disappeared. I see in the lexicon of terms it also means “energy wind”.
xebby and seven
es·o·ter·ic ( P ) Pronunciation Key (s-trk)
adj.
Intended for or understood by only a particular group: an esoteric cult. See Synonyms at mysterious.
Of or relating to that which is known by a restricted number of people.
Confined to a small group: esoteric interests.
Not publicly disclosed; confidential.
That’s why Chinese names are used.
That and a lack of proper translations in many ways.
I like sevenstar’s list. And explanations.
Too bad he lacks teh street cred.
I have problems reading my native tongue, so one can understand the problem I have discerning the meanings of foreign terminology.
Besides that, everyone knows that [/i]chinkuchi[/i] is teh deadly.

looking at this post, I see more “teh” than “the,” but I’m to damn sleepy and lethargic to do a dayum thing about it.
Yes, these terms are difficult to understand. There are no equivalent terms in English.
Jin or Jing is used to mean energy, momemtum, force, strength etc.
Many concepts of CMA are summarized as in a single character.
KL is right. They are sort of “trade” talks and only “insiders” know what they mean.
Think of these terms as if a piece of music is recorded in notes and scores.
They describe the nature of Jin.
A. Source. internal vs external (Nei vs Wai).
B. When you fight, you are basically neutralizing (Hua) the opponent’s Jin and deliver (Fa) your own Jin.
C. Long: means continuing. Short: Jin travels short distance and stops.
D. Ding: lift upward as in lifting heavy weight or head butt foreward etc.
E. Sinking is downward and lowering your hip and center of gravity.
F. Light is to move steps swiftly or hand quickly.
G. Cold: unexpected, sudden, usually lethal or crippling effects.
Basically, the tempo, directional, properties, etc of Jin.
Or just the nature of the Jin.
