I became an old fart this year, so I started practicing YiQuan to supplement my JKD and other martial arts, and I made some interesting discoveries about weird esoteric body mechanics for generating power. I've noticed my strikes have become snappier.

Another weird thing is that I have learned how to "bounce" people the way they do in those fakey looking internal arts videos. It actually isn't fake, but it's difficult to explain - you basically generate momentum or kinetic energy in your body using your deep front line and then you transmit that momentum into the opponent's body through a sturdy structure which causes them to bounce away as if you were pushing them. It's really weird and counter-intuitive. I'm not really at the point where I think I could use it for self defense, but it got me thinking - if it was possible to bounce people away, could the pulse of kinetic energy or momentum or whatever be directed into an organ? Is death touch real? Have we all outsmarted ourselves?
