BTW, just to mention a point that's been made before, the type of breathing exercise that I mentioned in the 2nd post on this thread... that's the sort of power-producing-augmenting breathing that leads to great power. When the force-directions training is augmented with this kind of breathing, you get the full (not just the "essence" part that is "jin") "Kokyu" power.

FWIW
