for your consideration,
Alignment is not the alignment
meaning we are after the feeling of alignment
once we have it, like riding a bike, if body is out
of alignment we can adjust and make the feeling of alignment
and the force can still be "issued" in a "proper" manner.
so however, your opponent come into contact with you
the reaction is your feeling of alignment come and force shoot out.
some ppl (who are not cima) define martial arts as reaction.
i think it is very elegant and succinct.
the 5 words of lhbf say "upon contact, enemy fall flat"
i think it is this meaning
i do not think thinking about this in terms of speed is correct.
for the high hand, very fast can make it look slow, but you just cannot get him.
For Ali, he can make heavy to look very light
this is using chinese ying-yang concept of making opposite manifest in one body.
it is mesmerising to watch
cheers all
