I was referring to this
I think one way to illustrate what I think Wayne is talking about would be to pour a fresh cup of coffee and go hit a heavy bag as hard as you can with the other fist with full body power without spilling any coffee.

Would you be willing to film a demonstration of your understanding?

I'm more willing to believe that people can be moved by Qi / energy / prana... than to believe that someone can punch anyone, anything - while holding a cup of something filled like you would drink it, not just a sip - and have any meaningful effect.

Really? Wow. Have you never fired a pistol while moving? Or carried a heavy tray in one hand while opening a door?

Right on, I'll do mine too, then we can post them at the same time instead of as responses. Deal?

Ok make sure you don't spill a single drop and the punch has knockout and or serious breaking power. A show stopper. Not something I can take on the nose and walk away with teary eyes.

You won't be able to do it

And Rob, I've done both. They got nothing to do with hitting hard

Also, selective tension haha. Stop making me laugh

Okay you get in the mix, too, show us the knockout power you'd consider acceptable.

By which I mean a video of you hitting a bag (or suitable substitute), with or without something in your hand.

Origami, no thank you, you should know what a hard punch is or no?

Rob, I believe my words were very clear

The force that will travel back through your skeleton after hitting someone will spill over the cup that's filled to almost the brim like you would drink it

I propose, no I demand, that the cups be filled to the brim with boiling, scalding hot water.
