To issue invisible power, the mind, body and breath must be organized in a cohesive, integrated, and coordinated fashion to release elastic energy within the body. The structure must be aligned in a relaxed, calm, and responsive manner, with internal awareness gathered towards the body’s “Zone 3”, to trampoline off and redirect external forces.
KaizenTao: Efficient Power Projection from KaizenTao.
Although, hard to believe from watching alone, a great many world class martial artists, teachers, including Senior Defensive Tactics instructors, LEO/MIL/Bodyguards, have convincingly experienced The KaizenTao Trampoline Body.
Enjoy your Paths!
I always enjoy your videos, Thong. So relaxed and natural, showing how one does not have to be — in fact, cannot be — rigid and straight for force to have a clear channel to move from point of contact to ground, and from ground to point of contact.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words, Cady. I know you know, and can appreciate the subtleties here 🙂
What you are able to demonstrate is super important to martial arts. I’m grateful you put out videos.
Thanks for the kind words, Rob. Yes, it is important work which lies within anyone’s grasp, and hidden in plain sight.
It looks so simple and effortless and yet so refined and powerful. I have had the good fortune of feeling your energy in person and I’m still amazed. What is even more amazing is your willingness to share and ability to teach as evidenced by what Jim was able to do at the end of the clip. Thank you for sharing Thong.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience, Ephrem. The secrets keep themselves. No need to prolong the learning curve as there’s plenty of work to be done. I give my students what they need to practice, but the path is theirs to walk.
Thong, thank you sincerely, for posting this video. I confirm the harder I hold to you, the harder I fail. Thank you, also, for your teachings. As evidenced in my testimony, it’s teachings for more than martial aspects… The harder I hold on to…
Thank you for sharing this video demonstrating the “trampoline body” Thong. It is deceptively simple in appearance but very deep in principles, in other words, what one sees is only the tip of the iceberg.
Very well put, Jerry. To paraphrase Antoine de St. Exupery, what is essential is invisible to the eye.
