Just to mention that although aikido does focus on applications in its trainig, imho it takes years of practice to make aikido effective against an attacker. Like taiji aikido is an art built around princioples that do not use brute force and there are many sublties that go into making a technique workj that are not obivious to the observer nor are they easy to execute. I do not want you to switch and find your self in the same place. Both arts require a substantial time investment in order to be functional

mograph,
Chen style develops its energy through the practice of chansujin (silk reeling). Yang style develops its energy through chousijin (drawing silk). In Yang style we "mobilize jin as though drawing silk" (yun jin ru chousi). The mainstay of Chen style is fajin, the mainstay of Yang style is pungjin. Yang style of course develops and issues fajin. but it is "concealed within" and not as obvious as in Chen.
Hope this helps
Very best wishes

marlon,
At its most basic level[FONT=Verdana, Arial], think of an inflated bladder. The air inside holds the bladder so that the surface is firm. The air inside is soft and relaxed and creates an internal pressure. When force is applied by forcing the bladder against the ground it does not collapse. The bladder just bounces. When the body is really relaxed, extended, and open, then the body can become more like a bladder,- springy and distributing energy evenly.
Very best wishes

Hi marlon,
What does your book call it?
I have been using the spelling Pung when in fact it should probably be spelled Peng but which is pronounced Pung.

Hello to all:
Everyone has posted something of interest and value, but the bottom line here gentlemen is if your Shifu isn't a fighter then his Taiji will fail you. No matter what style you take the instructor must be a fighter if that's what you want to learn.
Please check out master "Wong's Tai Chi" on youtube then you will understand what I am saying. Rule #1 "martial artist are people that train 2-3 x week". Rule #2 warriors are people that train every single day of their lives." just cause I bowl 2x wk doesn't make me a bowler! Your teacher cabn only guide you and teach you the techniques that got him where he/she is, but the rest depends on you.
The question you should be asking is "how bad of a BADASS do I want to be?" and then go for it, and remember that any style is like wine the longer you brew it the better it gets.
Peace
Mantismaster
p.s. Yang Luchang knew Chen Style and then created Yang

Well the short answer is "energetic coherence". Now that i check he also names it peng jin "simply expanding to meet the force...allow the structure to "fill up" proportionately to the impinging force"
much of the book deals with this aspect of taiji but does not neglect the whole of it.
