An interesting perspective on internal power in Taiji from a kinesiological perspective:

http://imcjournal.com/index.php/en/2051-kinesiology-of-tai-chi-martial-arts-a-scientific-overview

"Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) is a stand-up internal martial art, which can handle incoming forces with minimal effort and can overcome hardness with softness. Philosophically, TCC is a martial art based on the principles of changes (Taoism) and the practice of constant equilibrium (Confucianism). Scientifically, the internal power of TCC is attributed to relaxation and mindfulness by means of integrated ground reaction force and rotational torques launched by the body through a kinetic chain, using mechanically efficient mechanisms. TCC’s martial application is a complex process, which is challenging but rewarding.

Problem and Aim. The claim of relaxation and mindfulness for stability and rooting often causes confusion because most people are unfamiliar with these concepts. The effectiveness of TCC for self-defense is sometimes viewed suspiciously because most people cannot execute the internal power of TCC. This article aims to address these issues by providing a scientific basis for TCC training for martial arts applications.

Method. Evidence-based scientific information, collected through comprehensive literature review processes, were evaluated based on the author’s more than forty years of practicing and teaching experience. Scientific findings were subsequently verified by ancient Classics written by TCC masters to certify the consistency between ancient philosophy and modern science. Results and Conclusions. Essential information on the biomechanics and kinesiology of Tai Chi martial arts is provided in terms of emotional control, six degrees of freedom in motion, maintaining a central equilibrium, biotensegrity formation, living fulcrum and leverage utilization, ground reaction force enhancement, and body kinetic chain manipulation. Furthermore, the mysterious “Chi” and “Jin” are scientifically defined to help elucidate the essence of TCC."

To understand the universe, you must study and understand these things:
- First, Unity, Tao, Great Tai Chi.
- Second, the Great Two, the forces of Yin and Yang.
- Third, the Three Main Categories, expressed as Heaven, Earth and Man, or as body, mind and spirit.
- Fourth, the Four Forces: strong, weak, light and heavy.
- Fifth, the Five Elements, symbolized by water, fire, wood, metal and earth.
- Sixth, the Six Breaths: winds, cold, heat, humidity, dryness and inflammation, which transforms the climate and internal organs.
- Seventh, the processes of changing the repetition of cycles.
- Eighth, the Eight Great Manifestations: Sky, Earth, Water, Fire, Thunder, Lake, Wind and Mountain; combinations from which reveal the subtle energetic truth of all situations, as taught in the I Ching.
By understanding these things, you can apply them internally to abandon what is old and dead, and to accept wholeheartedly what is new and alive.
Once discovered, this process of internal alchemy opens the mystical door to spiritual immortality.
