The natural occurring shaking or trembling that happens after a lumbar bow springs, will add another quality to a Zhen jin strike that helps it to penetrate into an opponent, but not necessarily make them move away or be repelled, like the Dang Jin is designed to do.

Referring to how a dog shakes to get dry
It is not about generating more energy but delivering short sharp blows
One of the Tien Gan exercises works specifically to produce that effect
I remember once showing a good boxer this
We were in a small office on the docks
I still have the image of him flying on to the sofa a short distance behind him
All his pockets emptied ,coins and cigarettes going everywhere
The main thing I remember was the look on his face
He was a pro boxer and ex Golden gloves
He didn’t ask for a second demo

If you really look, you can see that in some strikes the flesh gets blocked or is mistimed with the hands. When learning this, at first your goal is how many times out of 10 can I get it to work and travel out to the hand, eventually you get to 10 out of 10, then go to 20, eventually you get to 100 strikes out of 100.
It’s the most frustrating thing I ever experienced. It’s like trying to learn a complex trick on a skateboard, only harder because your mind is having to figure out what’s going on inside your body. I had zero knowledge of anatomy at this time. I don’t know if knowledge of one’s internal anatomy would make it easier to learn, or more difficult.

These names come from the idea of when you are about knee deep in an ocean the Crashing Waves can knock you down and push you up onto the beach, but then you get caught in the Returning wave and get dragged back down the beach and get hit by another Crashing wave and the cycle repeats.
