the whip...

I'm standing across from you. I have a bullwhip. I coil it up then throw it at you.

No: I'm standing across from you. I have a bullwhip. I unfurl it to its full length and swing it around at you in a wide arc.

No: I'm standing across from you. I have a bull whip.

I know how to use it.
While my arm barely moves I cause the tip to break the sound barrier, moving in excess of 1100 ft/sec. And by the way, I can target this tip to pick off soda cans on a rail, set up 6" apart. I understand the rippling effect of the power and how it is an infinitely flexible extension of my forearm, driven by my torso, my legs, the earth I stand on.
The whip feels like a natural exension of my body and my mind extends to its very tip.

Does this analogy ring any bells?

Dragons anyone?

Summation of total body joint forces.

the Kime that so many dislike is capturing the moment of the crack of the whip to ensure that the power has just left the body with a good structure behind it.
