In an article published in 1999 Summer issue of Journal of Martial Arts (Fig. 11), they described the shock when they viewed people flying away after contacting Master Pan and they could hardly see any movement from Master Pan. In an article published in the Journal of Taiwan Wu Lin (Feb., 2000), the author Dr. Jiao-Tien Lin (Fig. 12) recognized the significance of this breakthrough and thought that this discovery would elevate the Chinese martial arts to a new era - the era of whole body integrated Jin - after the previous two eras, i.e., the era of external style and the era of internal style. Although some internal martial artists in the past have demonstrated similar kind of power occasionally, the art is considered lost, let alone the knowledge of how to develop it in a systematic and comprehensive way. The discovery by Master Pan shed the light toward this avenue. Since he developed this technique from scratch, he understands the training process needed to acquire this skill. And more importantly, he knows how to pass down this knowledge to his students. As a matter of fact, all his students, after a certain period of training, more or less possess this basic skill. This makes this event different and hence more significant than any other in the history of Chinese martial arts.
