The area where the groin meets the thigh. Taiji Chuan's power system demands the full control of the kua, the hip seam, for power and speed.<br /><br />Since I never did splits or high kicks, that's taking a bit longer than it might have taken a TKD user.<br /><br />Sometimes I've done too much with the hip seam and I can hear a tendon pop in there. That's usually a sign I need to take a few days to recover.<br /><br />From my personal experimentations with hand speed shock fajin power transfer, I understand very well what can happen to my lower body joints if I went full speed at the wrong angle.Ymar Sakarnoreply@blogger.com
