What do you mean "broken energy"? Are you talking about solo training only? Boxing has no form. There is no need for a boxer to compress and release non-stop for the next 30 minutes. Afte a Taiji master drops his opponent with his punch, should he "break his energy"?
When you punch your opponent, you generate energy. When your opponent is down (or moves away from you), you stop your energy (broken)? Your energy continue or not depending on how far your opponent is away from you.
Most of the discussion in this forum seems to talk about "solo training" only. In fighting, you have to break your energy when your opponent is away from you, otherwise you are wasting your energy.

johnwang wrote:This can be done by "抖(Dou) – Shaking". When your opponent tries to do something to you, you shake him (a quick push and pull). So by your definition, broken energy can be achieved by "shaking".
This just remind me that "shaking" has never been discussed in any Taiji training.
