Most practitioners of the internal martial arts are familiar with Peng. However, for many it's just "ward-off", or the lifting, expanding energy present in the form. However, there is much more to Peng. In many systems the true nature of Peng Jing is never explored. It is rather marginalized or described as an arm motion or position. This is unfortunate since Peng Jing is a cornerstone component of the internal arts. Following is an article by Sifu Sam Chin presenting a complete, full understanding of Peng Jing.
One man defeating many. A strike that no one sees delivered unbelievably fast. What appears to be a tiny push sends an attacker tens of feet away. Small motions that are so internal, you can't understand why you're off balance and on the edges of your feet. In front of such a person, all your techniques seem useless. What's going on?
According to Master Sam Chin, one of the main requirements for high-level kung fu is what he calls the "Merging of the Spheres." This article will describe the preliminary physical and mental levels of merging the spheres. Merging the spheres is a very refined expression of an internal energy commonly known as peng-jing. Merging the spheres with peng-jing will result in strong-rooted movements which naturally enhance internal energy, mental alertness and martial art. Not only that, but if you train well - then, as Master Sam Chin says, you can "even transcend technique itself."
