The Force or Power of TaekwonDo (跆拳道的威力）

Many peope have this kind of believe -- "HE/SHE is physically strong so that they have more power than me." Actually, this is only a description correct in a half. We always think that the power of body is from the physical strong. But, many martial art learner also knows that, the actual great power from the body is "Jing". This can be easy show from a example -- a children deny to visit a doctor. The Children scare to go in the doctor room and the mother/father try very hard to pull him in. This children never learn martial art, and he/she do not know what is stance. But, at that moment his/her internal force suddenly increase and the mother/father also fell very hard to pull him move. This is Why? The reason is -- this children using the "Jing" to fight the external forces. He/she eventually using the stance, internal force, body twist, and etc. All of these combine in one point (the hand) and perform as a output, therefore, he/she is more difficultly to move by anyone compare to the normal time. This is the force of " JING"!

The picture above show that, a Taekwondo back belt girl punch in one blank 1 inches wood. She fell very easy to perform this and she do not fell any pain in hand. (Actually she can easily break 3 blanks.) Look carefully in her stance and hand style, she is using a " JING" and not only "Body Physical Force" to do this. I have watch many Taekwondo, Karate, Wushu or othes martial art grading test, many strong men break the wood and their hand also injure at the same time. No matter how physical strong they are, if they are not using the right force they will injure. This is the different in using of Body's physical force and "JING"!

Your power is not only from your physical body, it is from your internal and how you perform it by combine the body movement. More practice you do, more internal power will expose at the time you use it. You are accumulate it when you are in practice. Therefore, practice is very important to a martial art learner.
