6 Straighten out the legs (feet do now move and should still be double shoulder width apart) pressing the palms skyward fingers toward each other finish the inhale. Look slightly upward.

Ki Gong Exercise #4 Hitting with energy

Since MPDK #4 involves punching this exercise will focus on hitting with more energy. Very often martial arts practioners when practicing partner work control their strikes by stopping the limb instead of the hip (power source). When this happens you are using opposing muscle groups to slow down the punch almost immediately after beginning it. You decelerate it not unlike pressing the brake before approaching a stop sign or red light in a car. This is good for driving but not for striking. We want our energy to fully transmit into our target. So it is imperative that we practice stopping the hip not the arm. As soon as you do this your striking power will increase dramatically.

To practice this stand with the feet shoulder width apart and let the arms swing freely as you turn your hips clockwise the counter clockwise. Have a partner hold a pad and during one of the swings slap the pad with your palm. This should be a very relaxed, heavy powerful strike. You should see a dramatic difference in relaxed power verse tension power. Now try with the back hand instead of the palm. It is helpful to do a few swings then strike, a few more swings then strike this will help you stay centered and relaxed. You should be so relaxed that the blood flow from swinging the arms should make your hands red. In Moo Sa Do we call this the power slap.

Part two Candle Punching

IMPORTANT be careful not to strike the candle and start a fire. Make sure your practice area is SAFE.
