Ki Response with Punch ?
I really didn't know what to make of the video - My son Rik did - he thought it was another Jim Carey sppof.
So we are now well informed it is `focused training` - I never experienced anything like that in the past 55 years of training.

Henry:
People can focus as intensely on stupid training as they can on useful training. I think that it is so sad that people can take some meaningful construct (such as "ki") and find a way to muck it up so bad, that reasonable people will look at a video clip like that and dismiss the construct outright. It is kind of like washing a hand-blown, crystal wine glass with a hammer and as a result of that experience, believe that hammers are useless....
