Tai Chi Power, Decoded: Fascia Mechanics and the "4 oz" Touch

Описание: What if “internal power” isn’t mystical at all—just high-level body mechanics you can feel immediately?

In this session, Shifu Lin (Phoenix Mountain Tai Chi) sits down with David Weck (Weck Method / BOSU inventor) and Pono Pau (the “Hawaiian Assassin,” #5 ranked Power Slap heavyweight) to demonstrate a core principle of authentic Tai Chi skill: how fascia—not brute force—can generate and receive force in a way that disrupts an opponent’s structure and grounding.

You’ll see why experienced athletes and fighters describe this as “mind-blowing”—even when they know what’s coming.

In this video, you’ll learn:

What fascia is (and why it changes how force travels through the body)

• How Tai Chi uses touch that glides along the surface—instead of “bones vs. bones” contact

• Why the classic idea “4 oz moves 2,000” points to mechanics, not magic

• How disrupting fascia feedback can make bracing and rooting ineffective

• The practical difference between muscling a technique and taking away someone’s power


Phoenix Mountain Tai Chi is about one thing: Tai Chi as it was meant to be practiced—with clarity, sincerity, and real results.

Calm the body. Clarify the mind. Train real skill.

If you’re a wellness seeker, a biomechanics nerd, or a martial artist tired of performative Tai Chi—this is your entry point.

Explore the Three Paths:
• Tai Chi for Vitality (calm, recovery, daily resilience)

• Internal Arts Mastery (mechanics, structure, how it actually works)

• Martial Tai Chi (application, power, functional skill)
