In my opinion the following can be misinterpreted:
"A famous example of nei jin is known as "fā jìn" 発勁, a technique trained by practitioners of the internal Chinese martial arts to throw opponents great distances away from them."
I would say that fa jin is the process of *generating* explosive force on a short distance, one possible *result* being to throw an opponent away, but fajin is not a "technique" per se, and certainly not the technique of pushing somebody away. (you can push somebody away without fajin too.)

(it's my first attempt at participating in an article, I hope I'm following the etiquette)
I agree with Gerald. "Fa jin" is about generating explosive force by recruiting the tendons. It is more a training method than a specific technique. Specific techniques will often empploy "fa jin". Pushing someone a long way is only only one possible application.

- Well, everybody has their own interpretation. The version quoted above comes from the Yang family teacher Yang Pan-hou originally. It is taught that way by the Wu family, specifically in a book I have from Wu Kung-tsao where it is listed as one of the "four methods of application" and described as above. Other schools have their own interpretations, but these guys are pretty famous. --Fire Star 15:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
