An Jin Explained: Reaching, Not Shoving
Channel: Rick Barrett
Date: 2022-07-21

An Jin is one of the four primary energies of Taijiquan. It is the energy that powers the Push movement in Taijiquan. The term "Push" is a misnomer, and suggests "shoving." An Jin expresses its power by "reaching" rather than pushing. It combines the Yin of Song (releasing into the support of the connective tissue system) with the Yang of Fang (reaching to establish tensegrity). 
An is watery, like a big wave that is soft, but irresistible.
