I'll definitely go to teacher 2.
Here is one of my favor Fajin drills.
Also if you train this Taiji drill, you will understand Fajin too.

It will weed out the 99% of ima'ers
but how is fajin different to any good "external" striker who can hit hard, fast & penetrate. With higher cardio they can also deliver it continuously faster and with greater volume.
The test I use - let them hit from 1 inch on the gut.
The only way to learn to hit with real intense whole body power (let's call that fajin) is to practise it over and over.
This may be "taiji power" but is not fajin.Bao wrote:Soft comes first, hardness later when you have reach a good understanding of song. Just practicing drills won't teach you real Taiji power.
