Bao wrote:Fajin? Fajin is not something happening at the end of the limb, it's something happening inside of the body. Fajin means that jin is released, in Tai Chi we use "neijjin", internal jin. When we fa, what comes out is from within. If it doesn't, it's not Tai Chi. If it's only an external movement, it's not Tai Chi.
This from Lü Baochun is the best explanation I've heard and the best demonstration I've seen so far. Remember that he has had famous teachers from both Yang and Chen, Wei Shuren and Feng Zhiqiang.
(The sound is low though, so turn it on loud)

Trick wrote:Taiji fajin is effortless not at all the way we often see in for example Chen family boxing forms performance,such hard fajin is focused on clashing, Taiji fajin comes from blending so to redirect an incoming clashing force into it self, obviously easier said than done, that’s why most Taiji players who want show off combat power rather choose the external hard way to practice KAPOW

It uses ‘Xiong Yao Zhedie’ Chest and waist spring’ (the movement of lumbar and thoracic spine like I mentioned. And ‘Zhuanhuan’ Turning Torquing (using one half of your Transverse Abdominal Muscle to turn your waist, and direct the explosive wave towards your right or left side.
He thinks that sometime in the late 1800s early 1900s that outside observers witnessed people being seemingly and almost magically lifted up and tossed out during pushhands. This is called ‘Ti Fang’ Lift Throw. In a northern Chinese dialect Fang can sound similar to Fajin. And he thinks that might be where the misunderstanding of what Fajin is.
