According to the topics of the last few weeks, I thought I will show you some interesting pictures...
There is an interesting research in Japan nowadays, in which sport scientists try to understand the differences of the "traditional way of movement". They found that this kind of movement still alive in the famous traditional Japanese theatre, the Noh. So they exchange ideas with some well known Noh players, and researched the body movements they have. They found, that these guys use some so called "inner muscles" much more, than an average sportsman.
Nowadays they try to incorporate the training of these inner muscles to the different sport-training methods. As I know they have some results with baseball players.
To tell the truth, these ideas came to me from a friend of mine, and I don't know too much about the whole process, but I have found very, very interesting a picture what was in a book about Noh. This picture shows those so called inner muscles, in a computer graphic.
Quite interesting (according to master He, with whom I have changed letters about this subject) that they use the same characters for "inner muscle", than the Chinese for nei jin, inner strength...
Here is the picture:
