Ken Gullette-mechanics in Pao Quan

Wang Shu Jin BGZ Whole body power

I’m not to the whole body power stage yet in any of the 3 styles, but I have spent some time working on it in TJQ, and the couple times I did it (somewhat)right were on Push techniques sort of like this. This isn’t glamorous to watch for those not in the know, but the [...]
