I have never felt that any Tai Chi I practiced uses sectional power like Karate.

I only know that Chen style uses a lot of stomping to generate power, which is a number one no-no according the the Tai Chi classics. It totally destroys the "fluid movement" concept.

And I was on SDF under a different SN and I have to agree I mentioned to TTE that I thought you sounded a lot like Mr. Turner. Weather you were or not the style you practice, the links you provided, and the comments you have posted in this thread are almost word for word.

Just sayin' is all.
