Thanks for replying!
I was concerned after posting because of the words "organ" and "wringing" in my first post. I thought "Oh man, I hope (fill in the blank) doesn't get on here and start tossing crap like a monkey! You guys have restored my faith in mankind.
I have joked around on some of my other posts about DKI NTKOs, etc., but I know first hand that the arts of energy manipulation are one of the least understood and most maligned topics in all of Martial Arts. I think part of this is due to poor translation from Asian to Western language. Some "entreprenuers" have used this circumstance to sell "Yogic Amway" for decades. That sucks. Good things then get left on the shelf mistaken for the empty box.
Onto the "sacral pump", of which I will refer to as the SP from here in. Am I understanding correctly that the rocking or repetitive tilting of the pelvis, coordinated with the breath and various muscles tensings, is the same as the SP? I have assumed so and have been doing various versions to lightly squeeze lymph, synovial fluid etc. into the recesses of my body where gravity normally opposes such circulation. I ask this question on the forum because some Bagua Chang, Chi Kung and Yogic resources seem to hover vaguely in the same neighborhood of reference. That word VAGUELY is the demon of all text and teacher reference. The commonalities I have found are then felt to be the substantiated parts of methodology. I have had some personal teaching, with some pleasing results in the past, but I know, as with any Martial study, refinement is for eternity and the clock is ticking. There are no qualified teachers in my area and I think my TKD GM is concerned I might pop my cranium or something and is being "to himself" a bit on the subject. I think he is doing so again out of safety concerns. I know some numbn@*$ts would squeeze their neck muscles too tight and die of aneurism. Of this and other dangers I am very well aware. I am in my forties and have a 6 month old boy. I want to give my son a vigorous man to play with, as much as possible, as we age. I feel pretty damn good and have been told I move like a 20 year old, but one left turn and the bad neighborhhod of old age awaits with a traffic jam. That alone points to my level of caution concerning this topic. Maybe I am doing fine at the level I am at or maybe things could be slightly accelerated with a little tweaking. Maybe I myself might have an unexplored insight for someone. Answers? Thoughts? Questions?

I don't want to sift through the mysticism to get down to basic engineering concepts. Very annoying. 21st century terms would be just fine.
