But is there a difference in usage of the hara/dantien when issuing peng jin (rebounding force) versus doing a shoulder strike?
Hmm.. interesting question.

Not really how to explain it, but I guess it could be the short jin vs the long jin. Long is to bounce people away and the short is to damage the target putting in a short jerking pulse (dou jin- shaking force).

Every move in Dai has to have the trade mark contraction and expansion of the body with the dan tian rolling.
