well I think the words are "Jin Specific"; for the training of Jin, not just movement.
"All Kua" relates to the majority of of the movement/force (95%) to leave the ground comes from the Kua/Dan Tien. Done this way the exercise isolates this movement in order to work on its speed, strength and co-ordination in order to get you off the ground. Having developed this explosive power it can then be metered down to direct the force through the torso/arms and hands.
Thanks. I was asking to better understand the purpose and application of "gongjianbu bumpping."
Take the Conor Aldo clip where Connor takes two hop steps back (springs backwards twice). Conor was able to relax, keep his stance,
keep vertically level and deliver a KO. Which move do you feel
provides more lightness in "springing backwards," Conor's hop steps or He Jinghan's gongjianbu bumpping? "Explosive power" isn't required to move nimbly and can be a hindrance.
Conor uses both jin and kua (and ground force) as defined by
Zhang Yun and
Bruce Frantzis respectively.

His trained sibling uses something far more powerful and sophisticated. He has jin, and use it to great effect: he is able to drive the ball much further, place it on the course with much greater accuracy, and often with much less effort.

The movement is kept as small as possible while doing enough to propel the medicine ball toward the rebounder and with as much speed and force to train an explosive Jin. My arms don't bend and straighten that much as I'm trying to drive the ball from my lower limbs and the kua/waist.
That's how I'm approaching plyo-metrics; with a more internalized movement.
I provided Phil Daru's website channel because "brush knee" shares similar biomechanics to a straight punch. One might use the same process but with customized adjustments for "internal" movements.
