I can relate to the kokyu analogy to jin and the Ki from centre or 'dantien'.

Just as there's no difference between "qi" and "ki" (look at how many interrelations there are and you'll see that differences are impossible), there's really no difference between "kokyu" and "jin" except for the fact that the term "jin" delineates the core force and "kokyu" implies both the core force and the addition of the breath-trained strengths that augment the core force. "There are many jins but there is only one jin" (old saying).
2 cents.
