Yep. As a long-time martial artist, I understand that power is not about strength, but focus and technique. That guy clearly demonstrates that.

I studied Tai Chi for several years with a local instructor, who had learned the styles she taught from the descendants of the founding families in mainland China. She's a slight thing, maybe 5'6" and 120 pounds, but practicing Wu style "push hands" with her was like fighting liquid steel - like that dude from the 2nd Terminator movie - she could've thrown me through the wall at any given instant. Balance, timing, and applying force only when and where necessary are key. She knew my center of balance and next movements better than I did.

Oh, yeah. When you learn how to use someone's movements and center of gravity against them, nobody can touch you. Martial arts are a beautiful thing.
