Question #2 How does structure produce power?
To me structure does not produce power by it self but only acts as a means of transfer of energy. Like a gun acts as a means to transfer the engery of the bullet.
Question #3 How does your structure deal with the power of your opponents?ie transfer of weight or movment.
Your stucture can be used to obsorb,redirect any movment or energy.

I agree with your answer to question #2, as for #3 I only add that your structure MUST be free and flowing to be able to absorb, redirect energy and that, that energy must be applied ( in training) in a way as close to reality as possible.
sanjuro_ronin to your response to my question # 3 absolutly correct!! I 100% agree with you.
Hi guys
IMHO to attack or defend will be easier with correct structure as you will have balance and control rather than a movement/position that you cannot capitalise on. So correct structure is the ability to apply what you want/have to. Your structure supports your objectives in business, life and martial art.
I take the stand (no pun intended) that you must learn & understand static structure first Siu Nim Tao or standing post qi gong for example) then apply it in motion so that you have power and control in any position. Against a resisting / alive partner/person you will always have movement.
Obviously lack of sound understanding and basics, overcommitment, tension of mind and body etc all play a part in the success or failure of your structure to support your objective.
I am not saying that I can do it all the time but I at least have a game plan…
