"The body mechanism has to be a contributing factor at the moment of discharging force."

There are seven basic categories of Yi Chuan training.
"Standing." Called "Jom Jong" in Cantonese, this is a method for
constructing a physical framework by molding your body in certain formations and is a chi
kung in itself.
"Sensing Strength." This utilizes imagery, pressure from the air, and
gravity through one’s structure to create a sensation of magnetic force. 
"Footwork." Although Yi Chuan does not have any prearranged forms, it does
utilize footwork patterns for delivering the framework and strength in all directions.
"Push Hands." This serves as a tool for sensing strength between two
people to improve one’s balance and sensitivity.
"Explosion Strength." This utilizes the preceding four categories
concentrated into the shortest amount of time and distance.
"Sensing Sound." Certain sounds and tones are used to enhance linkages and
togetherness in the body.
"Actual Fighting." This is learning to use Yi Chuan as a martial art
without any prearranged conditions.
