it is easy to regain one's balance.
no magic force will stop your legs from properly regaining balance.
only your imagination of your teacher's magical powers will do that.

Actually, I have had a couple of experiences of being blasted backwards and being unable to regain my balance: Dan Docherty did it to me years ago, and Chen Ziqiang did it to me last summer.
On both occasions, my hips were behind my legs and I was bent forward at the waist while moving backwards, so my feet were just trying to catch up. When you are in this situation, you either fall down after a certain number of backward steps, or hit into something that brings you to a halt.
It is not "easy to regain your balance" and it has noting to do with belief in "teachers magical powers."
BTW, thanks for the link, Jake. Very droll. I love the stoic-looking chubber with the pony. Man up!

Yeah I have felt the feeling as well where your legs feel like your catching up..but none of that hopping stuff just the feeling like your trying to regain your balance and your feet were taking out from under you...it felt as you described like my hips were behind the legs. It wasnt funny cause I was just checking out a school to see if the teacher was any good and he asked me if i he could show me...this is when i was just first getting into IMA. So when he got in on me the next thing I knew i was flying towards a wall that must have been about 12 to 15 feet away. When I got up i had this feeling in my chest down to my gut like everything got shook up. I played it off like I was ok and nothing happened but inside I was like "shit that hurt". So I know there are alot of students who are over reacting out there and it just looks ridiculous but there are a few teachers who can really demonstrate on resisting people like myself...and trust me this is coming from a guy who doesnt thing that the bellies on the guys in the first video are made from qi lol.
