Introduction to Water Boxing, Part 5

In part 5 of my series of videos introducing water boxing, we look at how we use our bones. Unlike in many internal arts (for example, in most styles of tai chi), in water boxing, we don’t necessarily avoid using force against force. This is one of the reasons why the solid (ice) stage of water boxing is learned/taught first (and why we place so much emphasis on structure). It may also explain why some people have described the feel of water boxing’s force as being similar to Xingyi Chuan and why, unlike in tai chi, we use the 70/30 stance.
