Only sometimes?

Ha ha!
Well, the whole World is obviously totally crazy… so most of the time, Taijiquan makes perfectly sense.

First, tingjin is a developed type of skill, which means that you need to practice in certain ways for a certain amount of time. You won’t have it until you have developed it.
In Taijiquan, we practice to not use strength against strength. If you understand how to not offer any resistance and to not let the opponent attach his strength directly against you, you will develop a certain type of sensitivity. If you are hard and use force against force or resistance against force, you cannot achieve what is called tingjin. So what Taijiquan calls tingjin is in fact something developed in Taijiquan specifically and is a consequence of Taijiquan practice. However, I am sure good bjj and shuaijiao practitioners can develop the same type of sensitivity. I am not convinced though that many styles have the right tools and methods to develop it. And I am far from convinced that lots of people are good at it. Even in Taijiquan I’ve only met a handful of people who “get it”.
