This is inch power. SU DONGCHEN
See the excellent technology of consistent technique which inch power completes!
There is no restriction on striking, throwing, and joint-locking techniques
in martial arts. A consistent system includes all ranges of combat and recognizes
the relationship between ranges, as Master Su asserts. Such a system differs
from the mixed-style fighting sports which have gained popularity in recent
years; fighting sports have rules covering what kinds of techniques are acceptable
in competition.
Long range consists of striking, and as one approaches the opponent, throwing,
choking, and joint-locking techniques become possible. Chinese martial arts
talk of gJing,h or gskilled power.h There is a middle stage between gLong
Powerh (Jing at a distance of feet) and gSticking Powerh (Jing at a distance
of millimeters)?this middle stage is Inch Power, or Short Power. Inch power
is not merely a punch at a short distance; it concerns the method of generating
power. Long range striking and close range grappling is connected by Inch
Power; this is Master Sufs consistent technique, realized through countless
fighting experiences. It will surely become an intense suggestion for the
world of competitive fighting arts.
SU DONGCHEN
Utilizing Inch power to realize consistent technique.
Without even adopting a fighting posture, Master Su can unleash Inch Power
with uncanny speed, within an everyday motion. In addition to this high-level
ability, Master Su is eager to research the theoretical basis for using Inch
Power within martial arts, as well as the strategy it entails. Inch Power
creates infinite possibilities. Furthermore, Master Su has developed a consistent
fighting theory based on the evolution of point, line, plane, and three-dimensional
movement, which he exhibits here.
Movement and execution of Jing
[Li] - gStrengthh ? abstract, native, and primeval
[Jing] - gPowerh ? concrete, acquired, and technical
Long Power (gJing at a distance
of Feeth): This power comes from a long distance. The motion is large.
It excels in generating shock power to a target.
Speed and Power are employed to cover distance. The subject of long power
is the pursuit of high speed and heavy power.
Short Power (gJing at a distance of Inchesh): This power comes from a short
distance. The motion is small. It excels in penetration Jing to a target.
Therefore, the technical structure and tactics of shortening to suitable
distance are required. The subject of short power is to research and possess
gmany anglesh and ghigh density.h
Sticking Power (gJing at a distance of millimetersh): Because of lack of
space in close range, it is difficult to apply shock or penetration power;
this is
the range suitable to throwing/grappling styles. This is a secret gsoft powerh
that can counter grabbing and holding.
Speed = distance / time. The pursuit of gspeedh possesses a game/competition
inclination.
Research of uniform velocity, acceleration, and changing speed is the control
of speed.
Power = speed x weight. The pursuit of gpowerh entails blind belief and muscle-worship.
The study of speed, weight, and intention is the study of controlling power.
In developing speed and power, there is an evolutionary stage of: partial movement > total
body exercise > whole body exercise.
