One is the core skill in which the body is relaxed (fang song) and connected and the other is the first of the eight types of jin. The first type of jin is up and out and not surprisingly is how the core skill is often demonstrated.

Also at the beginning of this - the first few examples are peng jin, you can hear it if you listen, until 0:50. As the core skill, if you're familar with it, you'll see it in all the examples.

I haven't met any of these people, but they all look relaxed and connected.

Have you ever heard of or seen this word used outside of a taiji concept. If one is relaxed and connected does that mean they have pung jin or is there something more
windwalker wrote:I think pung jin would be better translated as expanding power, I am not aware of it having a direction
robert wrote:... an jin is down and out so if peng is out or expanding what is the difference between an jin and peng jin?

I don't think it is a question of what one is connecting to, but being connected, as one part of the body moves the whole body moves. The Taijiquan Jing starts off
In motion the whole body should be light and agile, with all parts of the body linked as if threaded together.
robert wrote:peng jin, peng jing can be the same thing just different romanization. Jin is pinyin. Peng jin can be confusing since it refers to a core skill as well as one of the 8 powers. I think it is an interesting discussion.

yes it is which is why I wont say to much.
The understanding of what "jin" means and is, seems to me would be the basic starting point.
How/why / pung/peng "jin" can be/ is/ formed and how it manifest itself seems to be a different point
Not something I feel worth interrupting your thread about.
