"In order to be able to release Faat Ging, it is crucial that the body is relaxed since any surplus tension in the body will reduce the percentage of grounding and undermine the rooting. Tension will also lessen the connection of the arms to the body, the body to the base, and finally, the base and feet to the ground. If the Ging is stored for release, but the body is tensed, up to 50% will be consumed by your own muscles, leaving a maximum of only half to be transmitted into the opponent. Complete relaxation is the only way to release the entire power, wholly unrestricted."
