OC How to Fajin

Fajin isn't possible to do by hearing instructions and then following them as if it's an explanation of a technique, it takes a gradual and progressive development of the underlying body condition and movement control skills in concert with a shit load of experimentation, probably giving yourself whiplash a few times, nearly endless frustration until one day you accidentally do it correctly, and from that point forward you have a reference to aim for. Once you can do it consistently it becomes possible to talk about, describe and explain, but only through observation rather than theorizing.

In my system we don't do it quite like this but the end result is similar. If I were to describe it simply without explanation of how to do it, it would be thus: A large transverse carrier wave moves through the tensegrity structure, usually from the ground upwards (eg. the spinal axial punch in the video), and as it traverses near the center, another higher frequency longitudinal wave is emitted from the center outwards (counterintuitively by exploding inwards), superimposing an orthogonal component to the initial wave (ie. compression/expansion) and constructively interfering with the reflection of that wave off of the ground, all terminating at the desired point of release (eg. fist), such that the fist arrives in the phase of largest outward acceleration of the cycle.

We train this (assuming basic requirements of body control, alignment, mechanics, etc are thoroughly met) through practicing and doing tasks involving torque/torsion, spiraling, compression/expansion, jumping, etc., it takes years for most people (me), like 10+, though some accidentally start doing it much sooner. It is an emergent skill rather than one that can be trained directly, because it cannot be micromanaged, but once it can be done at a basic level of competency there are numerous ways to hone and develop it.
