wuwei sifu, thanks, I can relate to everything you wrote even though I haven't played that much tennis or table tennis (enough to see these similarities).
Bao, Trick, that's what I'm talking about. I don't want to experience that kind of punch. The push is enough. This is something qualitatively different than anything in table tennis (AFAIK). It is mysterious (and sounds totally, totally unbelievable). This is the only thing that is mysterious and interesting in IMA as far as I am concerned. It's ironic people think we literally mean "push" but I can see how it sounds like total b.s. and raving lunatics.
For the sports stuff, I guess it is more "ordinary" but highly trained jin. Definitely not brute force or disconnected. Next someone would say that Mike Tyson's left hook isn't directed from the waist etc etc.
Edit: it is probably better to just say that "internal" should match "external" so in some external move there is internal and in internal there is external.
