how is the power different please explain if possible. i do WC and in that we use the body to strike through. would love to know more.

secondly,, intent can you explain. In WC we have forward force which is mind intent. at all times we have the intent to strike through.. if there is something in teh way then we will usally redirect. if it is kinda week force being thrown ie ligher round horse or straight punch then we would just aim for the centre and strike...at first you will hit the oncoming force but because your body is behind it you will continue to strike through.

which leads to finally,

if you in XY just go stright through. what if there is a something obstructing your strike do you redirect or just move onto the next strike
