Yeah, the stacked ball thing, that's the Galilean Cannon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_cannon

I believe that it can help to explain and understand some the effect in Tai Chi, by understanding this mass - momentum transfer. I remember back in the earlier Tai Chi days when we studied how to return force, and discovering that using the body as a whole (and more or less not use the arms other than support) while redirecting an opponents force had the best effect. So what you want to do is to add your whole mass and its momentum to your opponent's own movement/force/momentum. If you use your arms only in an isolated manner, then you only add the movement from the arms, and not your whole mass. But it's when you'll get your whole mass behind your own counter movement, while timing and following your opponent's movement precisely, this is when you can achieve this massive, seemingly effortless strength, to bounce someone away.

Hunyuan strength is stored within movement. This stored strength results in torque or martial velocity in each movement. That's why it's called oneness or whole body strength because the entire frame supplies torque to the limbs within each gesture.

Would not agree with his explanation, nice demo ....

I can’t really understand the difference between this and what I wrote. Though I can’t really see why torque is necessary to emphasize. I didn’t really see any torque in that video. Velocity as mentioned would be enough. I wrote: “get your whole mass behind your own counter movement” This implies moving the body as a whole.

I am not good at using scientific terminology.

One what we want mechanically.

One what we want “internally”.

2+2= 4+?

Personally, I don’t really separate external/internal, mechanics and internal aspects. In the internal arts, I don’t see how you could have one without the other.

For the outer to be correct, the internal must be there.

For the internal to work, the external must be able to express the internal.

I wonder if by torque he meant the open and close of the joints.... I mean, it's not strictly torque, but has a similar feeling?

Of those commenting.

Can you do what was demonstrated?

If you can, can you explain it or comment on
what you feel is happening?

@bao,

In the clip he specifically mentions and draws a distinction between what you wrote and what he’s doing as to that he’s not using that method. Ie using his bodies “mass”

Don’t agree with his explanation of what he feels he’s doing, but he can do it
whether I agree or not doesn’t matter much. It is interesting.

Looks simple enough to me. In fact I can teach literally anyone to do it in about five minutes.

His demo partner is wildly overreacting to meaningless movements.

Both teachers demo what appears to be the same thing.
Explaining what is being done in different ways...

Demo partner's react as they do based on what they feel, as would most people,
in the demo using the same methods.

If you listen to his commentary in the demo, he specifically says that he does not use his mass among other things.
Would not agree with his explanation, there are different ways to look at things....

If one can do it, how its explained "to me" doesn't really matter, its their work...
Like the teachers work, very interesting.
