Whenever Hsu spoke of muscle ache and muscle power Lim corrected her, “You must stop
thinking about this thing called ‘muscle’. The book is called Yijin jing, not Yiji jing 易肌經
(Canon for Supple Muscles); the muscles are external and fragmented, while the sinews are
internal and integrated. Muscle power is crude, the jin4 delivered via the jin1 is subtle.”

Comparing Chinese and Western students, are there any differences in their approach to Taijiquan and practising it?
It’s harder for Western students to grasp a concept that’s inherent in the Chinese psyche and its culture. At times it seems impossible, as Western students try to interpret the concept on the basis of their own beliefs and interpretations. In approach and practice, Chinese students do, while Western students question. Chinese students go by feeling and sensing movement, while Western students are concerned with the mechanics, or kinetics, of movement.

Materiality and enskillment is not clear at all.
Google doesn't even define enskillment.
So it reads poorly.
I would love it if there were something smart that requires bullshit words and now things make sense.
But this isn't the case as we all know.
In this thesis, I suggest that through learning wheelchair basketball, players undergo bodily “enskillment” characterized in terms of both the degree of body-chair unification and processes of corporeally mediated intersubjective attunement. Exploring the case of one player recovering from spinal cord injury whom I call Richard, I describe how bodily enskillment can work in accordance with physical therapy to influence individual existential self-transformations.
