As for the selective tension... tension is always global in regards to the body. You can tense up a body part more than another, relatively speaking. But as soon as you tense up anywhere, the tension in other far away places raises too. So if you tense your hand or fist for a example you have more tension in your foot and lower back.
Or you try to only tense your arm, but your diaphragm will be tense
That doesn't mean to punch with a floppy sloppy fist is always good
Pavel Tsatsouline teaches this global tension in 'The Naked Warrior', if anyone is interested. How to reach maximum consciously available tension
That's one of the reasons why people clench their teeth when lifting really heavy
Or why you squeeze the bar when squatting

D_Glenn wrote:結網 Jiewang is a quality of one’s body that can only be obtained after several years of daily practice in training what is called Bao Fali (explosive emission of power). This is also called Bolang Jin (crashing wave power), because you are using the lumbar to jolt the abdomen which creates a wave of flesh moving upward, which you eventually learn to time and sync up with your striking arm. Watch high speed camera (1000 fps) films of boxers punching. You can see the waves of flesh moving down the arm and the waves that travel back up through arm that are coming from the object that is punched. A Bao Fali added into the punch will have that wave traveling with the fist and eliminate any refractory wave coming back up the arm.
The precise coordination and timing that is required to do this creates a different movement modality that is then called 結網 Jiewang. It only exists within Chinese Martial Arts that use a Bao Fali. (Chen tjq, some Xingyi quan schools, Yin style Bagua, some Bajiquan, some schools of San Huang Paochui). Bao Fali is a highly guarded secret that traditionally was never to be shown to foreigners. There are still Chinese schools that swore blood oaths to never show it to anyone. Chen Taijiquan demonstrates it, but rarely does anything to teach it to foreigners. My teacher made the decision in 1996 to just teach it to everyone from every nationality because the younger generation of Chinese couldn’t care less about their traditions. He said that, who knows, one day Westerner’s might be teaching it back to the Chinese

Actually Jiewang is just a word I picked to describe a net or web-like quality that only comes from learning how to BaoFali. It’s a connected body, that actually takes effort to move in a disconnected manner. I’m using it in place of the word Chansijin which is essentially useless now with all the interpretations and being dumbed down to something that a person could learn in one afternoon.
Bolang Jin, however is a great term/ word, it comes from Xin-Yi quan, and Xingyiquan.
Here’s an article that I translated on it: http://bloguazhang.blogspot.com/2015/10/bolang-jin.html

Ok Mr. Triangle. Quite edgy. You trying to square up? Now we've come full circle. Man what a tangent.
