Yes, the second one is easy. In the sense that it's a basic (but good) body-mechanics skill that all practitioners should be be able to do. Once they've got the basic idea that 'forward movement' should always be part of downward movement using gravity, an element of which manifests itself as forward-aimed movement that does the explicit task at hand. Here it's done in a relatively obvious, but quite sound, manner.
Hence an aspect of zhong ding.

"要练好腰胯功夫腰很重要，它是连接上下肢的枢纽，是中轴，是纽带。

练习太极拳，动作要形成整体性，就必须依靠腰来调节。

武术中有“太极腰”的说法，这说明太极拳特别注重腰的锻炼，要用腰来带动四肢的运动。

从运气的角度来说，“气沉丹田”也是在腰部。"





It is very important to practice waist and hip kung fu well. It is the pivot connecting the upper and lower limbs, the central axis and the link. To practice Taijiquan, the movement must be adjusted by the waist in order to form a whole.

There is a saying in Wushu "Tai Chi Waist", which shows that Tai Chi Chuan pays special attention to the exercise of the waist, and uses the waist to drive the movement of the limbs. From the "another" point of view, "qi sinking into the dantian"

is also at the waist.

edited for clarity

qi sinking into the dantian

when traditional martial artist display their skills; the "modern" response is that you should try to fight muay thai, boxing, mma, etc
other "effective" styles.
what they are trying to say is that, your "tcma" practice has no "timing" element in it.

There are many demonstrations of fantastic skills in this world, but I think Cynthia Rothrock vs. Richard Norton in "The Magic Crystal" has got to be in the top three or four at least.

Yes. Mechanically, one's weight starts on the back foot. Opponent's weight is on back foot too. As one shifts their weight forward, leave hands still while bending elbows. At neutral position, start your fajin. Once weight is on the front foot, shift weight back to neutral position.

It works like a swing You could also call it 'chambering'.
