What is Taichi power (Jin / Energy / 勁) really like? Is it the same as power generated by other sports, martial arts and other physical methods? Is Taichi internal energy really different? How does Taichi neutralizing (Hua / 化) and seizing (Na / 拿) happen? Sifu Adam Mizner SHOWS CLEARLY how true Taichi Jin is applied! DEMONSTRATES how "four ounces defeats a thousand pounds" just like the Taichi Classics say. Are you developing Taichi power like this? How is Taichi Jin developed in your practice?

Edit: He says that he uses 4 ounces which is just weird. The quote is to use '4 ounces to move 1000 pounds' which is just a metaphor about using a little pressure to redirect or to set a big mass in motion. Literary using 4 ounces in Tai Chi is way too much. Less than one pound should be more than enough. So I guess that he needs to use as much as four pounds proves that his Tai Chi is not very advanced after all.

Meant ounce of course. Thank you for addressing my mistake.
Using five ounces is just as good as using four.
The numbers don't matter. It can't be a ratio. If the opponent uses 500lbs, then 2 ozs should be enough. It he uses 2000lbs, then would 8 ozs be needed.
