Re: Forward Sinking and Rooting

No, you cannot use jin without fa'ing them. That is why they call it fajin. Let me ask you this, what do you call it when you use jin without fa'ing? Good Morning CD, When I use jin without fa'ing, it is call 暗 勁/conceal jin. The fa'ing one is call 明勁/mingjin. I practice both in a slow motion as I ...
