I can understand "uproot". But why "send away" is so important in internal art?

Is body sensitivity part of the internal training?
- Taiji push hand can train the arm sensitivity.
- Shin bite can train the leg/foot sensitivity.
IMO, the leg/foot sensitivity is as important as the arm sensitivity. When you put your inner edge behind your opponent's ankle, you need to sense your opponent's intention. You then decide how to borrow his force.

I also believe that what they are not teaching is all the internal stuff, particularly the energy (sen or chi) related stuff, the equivalent of martial chi kung for Chinese martial arts. Every traditional martial art that comes from asia, has its spiritual, chi kung and meditative side. And in every one of them it is claimed that it is these aspects of the art that give fighters real power.
I can see no reason why would Muay Thai be the only exception to this rule. If Muay Thai had only mechanical, purely physical aspects, then westerners with their constitution and the availability of superior training methods and their understanding of the body mechanics should be winning hands down. But the opposite is the case.

1. 咬 (Yao) – Bite
2. 耙 (Pa) – horizontal Scoop
3. 粘 (Zhan) – Sticky kick
4. 撮 (Cuo) - 45 degree upward scoop
5. 踢 (Ti) – Sweep
Does internal training can be written down as simple as this?

1. Internal foot sweep is simple and straightforward - We should discuss this in more detail.
2. There is someone on earth who know this secret - I gave up that search long time ago.
3. Not sure that person is willing to share this secret to the public - This "I have secret but I won't tell you" bother me the most.
