Practice what fascia, which is where and how? The fascia in the fingertips by practicing spear finger conditioning?

abstract:
The slow-motion practice of Taijiquan, operationally, cultivates the
cognitive perception of fascia tension as it is being harnessed to discipline
body motion to be in accord with Yin-Yang Balance. The ideal motion that
results, bestows liveliness of change and harmonizes body momentum,
the hallmarks of maneuverability and force potential for performance. The
paper puts forth the proposition that the manifestation of Qi in Taijiquan
is primarily the cognitive perception of fascial tension in the functional
efficacy of bipedal balance for performance. Though the cultivated
cognition may be subjective, the process of Qi nurturing is grounded on
the reduction of the errors of imbalances, which carves a practice path to
balance with tangible effects. The force that arises from body motion so
imbued with Yin-Yang Balance, is of the phenomenon of internal strength
or neijin—consummate, of the right force vector in spontaneous response
and rooted in balance. Taijiquan practice nurtures Qi for both health
wellbeing and neijin as the body's core strength, depending on the practice
efforts put in.
