A demonstration is a demonstration and should, IMHO, always be judged as a demonstration.

It should, however, be VERY easy to explain the purpose of a demonstration. The TKD guys are showing off their athleticism and ability to kick with Accuracy. Two things that can be extrapolated to a martial context.
The problem with the demonstration posted here is that a) it cannot be explained or justified with rational argument it seems, and b) it does not even Map onto our understanding of Physics or biomechanics, regardless of what WW claims.
Maybe it is a demonstration of Group Psychosis or hypnosis, but then why not simply say that?

I am interested in what is not mapping into your understanding of physics
if its a little to much, no problems.
Maybe because its not.

It is not too much.
Take your pick ..pretty much all of it where there is no contact and the reaction is severe.Maybe because its not.
Then what is it?
WW are you a physicist?
does this map to physics?
speaking of physics pls watch the OP clip again closely.
notice how the teacher draws them in, before they can move back he suddenly raises.
He has to know the transition point between them coming in and starting to draw back.
He does this a number of times, compresses his body, "drawing them in" and releasing just before they start to pull back
adding to their own force going back...like releasing a bow string .......
some of the people I work with are,
we examine taiji theory and how it relates to physics.
How does the teacher draw them in? why does him raising cause this response only in his students?
As to how,,,this is done the first clip partially answered it,,,,,
anyway thanks for the input....appreciated
