Jing

[Dragon]

A few questions tht i want answering if u can.

 

Does Jing work?

 

And where can i learn it?

[JerryLove]

Jing means "expression". You already have it, the question is can you learn specific jings?

[KwicKixJ1]

jing is basically the power that kung fu gets its strength from.

 

if you look at kung fu stylists, its pretty hard to actually see their power. whereas, karate practitioners, its very easy to see their power.

 

jing is pretty much the path your energy takes from the root (your feet), to your weapon (your hands).

 

i learned this concept in class.

 

but only a concept. don't think for a second that i've grasped it. its soooooooo complex. jing follows a certain pattern tho.

 

i think if you check out any kung fu school (try northern style, or a more internal art form. not something like wing chun) you'll be able to find an instructor who could explain it to you.

 

there are seminars about it too. there was one recently in my area.

 

just keep your eyes open.

oh, its also called jin in some cases.

jing is basically the power that kung fu gets its strength from.

 

Why don;t you take a peek at the various types of jings (Fa, An, Peng) and see if your definition still works when actually applied.

Jing is also part of the evolution of the qiqong process.

 

qi (breath) is converted to and ren and jing. one is 'body' the other 'mind'.
