Holding Power

Definition:

A specialized form of Jin that instantly stabilizes the relative position of one body part to others and maintains it by dynamically releasing power to neutralize changing external pressures.


Usage:

  • As a noun: “One can continually strengthen and refine Holding-Power through Taijiquan practice or Standing.”

Additional Notes:

Holding-Power is the cornerstone of Taijiquan’s integration mechanism, enabling the strength of the entire body to be transmitted through interconnected and momentarily locked structures. It is a unique expression of Jin’s instant accessibility and precision control.
