Developing Power in Kung Fu

Noah Knapp, author of Unlocking Kung Fu: A Comprehensive Beginner's Guide, says, "Development of true power in kung fu is neither complicated nor is it difficult. Effective training of force is usually achieved with proper practice of the movements, but there are also alternative methods of amplifying your power. However, there is one most important concept that is essential to proper training; Muscle doesn’t matter. You must understand that there is a very, very large difference between power and strength."
