LING KONG JIN (EMPTY FORCE)
Recently, with a few friends we’ve discussed about “Ling Kong Jin” or empty force. One who has mastered empty force is supposed to be able to defend against attacker without any physical contact. Master of empty force uses mind and Chi alone and there is no need to have any physical contact with the attacker. If you search YouTube on empty force or Ling Kong Jin, there are a lot of videos showing masters repelling attackers without touching. Among martial art friends who I’ve spoken to, many are sceptical. However, there are a few who believed. The sceptics argued that thus far there are no convincing prove of such ability exist, and what often been demonstrated by the so-called empty force masters are all on obliging students. None have ever applied, at least not publicly or willing to apply empty force on non-student. Therefore, the sceptic argued at best empty force is merely a psychological suggestive power works only on believing students. The sceptics also pronounced they have not met any empty force masters who can affect them. The believers on the other hand argued they have direct experienced empty force from masters and it is real. They also reasoned empty force masters are very very very rare breed and it cannot be demonstrated on ordinary people because it will cause serious injury. This left us with unanswered question if empty force or Ling Kong Jin is real. Personally, I’ll keep my cup half empty waiting for one find day when it can be filled by a real empty force master.

Something similar is the fa jin of the Yang style that is applied by touch but without muscular force. The fa jin of the great classical Yang style masters like Gin Soon Chu and John Ding is mysterious. They still use their hands to apply it but they don't use any muscular force. I experienced it, it was sort of like an electric shock that follows along the meridian. But I can't really describe it. The question for me was how much of the Yang style form and techniques rely on this high level fa jin for effectiveness in martial application? Because realistically most of us will never learn how to do it effectively. After that experience i started training more in external forms.
Hi Kvnmcwebn,
It is like Yang Pan Hou stated, you train and refine your jin to inch jin, 10th of an inch to 100th of an inch and so on. At very high level a light touch will do the job. All techniques can be applied effectively with Tai Chi Jin. The only different is that the technique or movement will become smaller and smaller.
Most subted forces like you've mentioned cannot work effectively in real fighting. They are good as demo and for training purposes. When comes to real application, the fajin force needs to be explosive and impactful.
I understand why perhaps the masters did not not want to demonstrate on non-students. I'm just making an example here, I don't know if i'm right or wrong. When practicing electrokinesis, for example, you would not want to deliver a huge electric shock to someone who hadn't trained in electrokinesis. It could be bad for their body. The masters of ling kong jin wouldn't practice on non-studenst because they haven't trained, while their students may have trained, and been more resistant to it.
I would like to add, publically deceiving people through a faked demonstration is an effective way to "win without fighting". Secret Societies (Tongs)that often functioned in a community collecting protection money from local merchants, annually during the New Year celebrations, would demonstrate their super natural powers. Basically saying, Don't mess with us. Deception is a good strategy in combat.
I need a true master of tai chi my email: bsilomba@gmail.com
Master, I don't know if u'll read this but, I'm kinda in some depressing state, and need guidance. Not in Tai Chi, but guide to emptiness, like what u said. If u will, please teach me how to be in peace and empty. Thank you.
I fought with a guy once when i was young, i didnt know him, buy when my mind is ready to attack and went in to attack, i keep falling sideway of him, i thought it some kind of black magic or something until i got ti know about ling kong jing decades later
I can only describe it as ling kong jing is some kind of gravitational distortion

Ling Kong Jin like any other energies of Tai Chi must be practiced and cultivated. Of course this force is about precising the energies and feelings. It is like poem - you need to have some experience to understand the context. You need some experience to understand, to feel the Ling Kong Jin. So it is not about believing or not. It is about right practice.
Man, Nobody is untouchable, don't believe everything you read, the people exaggerate.
but I think empty force exist and also has a scientific explanation. In the west we call it telekinesis
