How do you use your body alignment to generate power?

what do you do to develop whole body power?

the kuit kuen says:

  • The body follows the movement of the hands. The waist and the stance move together.

  • Complement the hands with posture to make good use of the centerline.

  • Coordinate the hands and feet. Movement is together.

  • Short arm bridges and fast steps requires practicing the stance first.

  • Turning the stance with a circular movement, will allow superior generation of power.

  • The steps follow turning of the body like a cat.

  • The posture complements the hands to eject the opponent.

  • Unite your waist and stance.

  • Coordinate your hands and feet.

  • Movements must be agile.

  • Chum Kiu trains the stance and the waist; the arm bridge is short and the step is narrow.

  • Turning the stance with a circular movement, will allow superior generation of power.

  • Power is generated from the joints. Strength originates from the heels.

  • The knees lead the stance. The waist links the body. Where the mind goes, the eyes go, and the hands and feet follow.

  • Feet and hands work together, and the threat comes to an end.

  • In uniting the waist with the stance, power can be generated.

  • Use alterations in stepping forward and backward. Hands and feet should be closely coordinated.

Quoting the kuen kuit without a guide does not do much. Each part has to be developed piece by piece and then aligned and the whole structure has to be united. Not a technique and no a simple task…learning wing chun.

To answer the question directly, I practice body alignment to deliver power by drilling/sparring with my training partners. This is like asking “how do you fight” or “how do you drive”? It’s far to general of a question imo.
can you be more specific?

And I’d agree with Joy on this :eek:, quoting/reading the kuit isn’t going to teach you this.
