Nice insight Aran

Another tip for you then, it's not generated soley through spine/torso.
More like it passes through there. There is movement in that area though

Take a look at the back of the Aun Statues...they're backs are prominently developed (as well as the middle) and that's a pretty big hint if you ask me.
Not to mention the coiling of the sniews and tendons/muscles
Aun statues?

I'm sorry I'm not sure I'm familiar with them? Can you point out where I might find them? or pictures of them perhaps.

another question I have is about this power generation, i can only say that I've been playing around with the exercises (lets face it that's all I can do when I'm on the other side of the planet) BUT i can get something going with a feeling of pushing out through the back of the spine, down into the pelvis and this seems to 'pop' my arms out the sides. I can't help it but I feel like I want to create a circle with my arms even though they feel loose and floppy.

Sorry that's a really crap description but does that even sound vaguely familiar?

Regards,

Aran
