My old teacher, a student a Bruce Francis, would always say what is structurally strong is energetically strong. Ones structure is made from bone and tendon. Bone marrow and tendon are collagen, which with water, creates liquid crystals. The collagen fibers/liquid crystals resemble electromagnetic coils that are aligned along the bone and tendon. A liquid crystal is piezoelectric and can transform mechanical energy into electromagnetic energy, light, etc and visa versa. This is how an liquid crystal display is possible. When collagen is bent there is an electromagnetic response which has been measure by Dr. Robert Becker. (This also explains skins sensitivity as it will send signals to nerves when deformed). The rigidity of collagen is dependent on the spiraling electrical energy flowing through it, hence the visualization of water flowing through the arm. The arm is connected structurally, electrically, and magnetically to the rest of the body. Study alternative energy physics with regards to coils, spin, structured water, and one can only imagine what is possible with the human body. Qi-gong concentrates on the development of this system, which among other things will increasing tendon and bone strength. I know Osensi practiced misogi and other meditations religiously and stated that misogi was aikido. Similarly my teacher states that Tai-Chi is advanced Qi-Gong, this can be felt with much practice. Simply sitting with the spine extended in meditation means more electrically energy will be spiraling in the spine. A lot is unknown and not taught with regards to energy and the human body.

I guess that would require an unmovable object as a fulcrum. I wonder what would happen if your teacher used his unbendable arm as a lever to bend your unbendable arm?

When the woman tries it, she is off at a 45 degree angle and her elbow is not bent. This is retarded. It has nothing to do with the feet or the spine.

Not to say it is impossible. Sensei Patrick Parker: <blockquote>The Japanese term is orenaite, which means something close to, "The arm that is not to be bent." Notice that this is not really the same thing as "the unbendable arm." It is an advisory to not bend your arm - not to be so strong that your arm can't be bent.</blockquote> Bruce, strangely enough, I have experienced dim mak and performed no-touch throws, but I have yet to meet anyone who could create the unbendable arm solely through the use of ki.

The unbendable arm I am referring to is when you are facing the person and resting the back of your hand on that persons shoulder. Then the person tries to bend your arm by pushing down on the arm. I will try the experiment you are referring to and let you know how it turns out. Try the unbendable arm and picture that your arm is a firehose with water shooting through it. If you really believe the water is going through your arm, the other person will not be able to bend it. I would recommend standing on flat ground, but if you want to try unbalanced it could be interesting. thanks, Bruce Hi Chris,
