A lot of my practice feels like this at the moment. As you say, exaggerating the power producing movements of the spine and the core. Feels great.

This can be difficult to do. In the ring or on the mat, you do want to win. The conservative attitude won't be able to help you to achieve that. The Taiji attitude definitely is not suitable for sport.
It's better for your fist to land on your opponent's face instead of the other way around.

I've never said "passive". You read in all too much that I didn't write. I've always suggested that you should go in and make contact as soon as possible and always be pro-active.
With a non-violent mind I mean no anger and no aggressive emotion. IMO, it's better to look at fighting, even sports fighting, very clinical and technical. An opponent is just a physical body in movement. You shouldn't look at it at as a threat or even as a person. If you feel "violent", you'll just tense up and limit yourself, both mentally and physically. So the calm "non-violent" Tai Chi mind is excellent in a real fighting situation as well as for sports fighting as it does not limit you and at the same time gives you an opportunity to act with vitality and spontaneity.
