Have you ever heard of internal martial arts? Many people think that martial arts are all about punches, kicks, and throws. However, there is a deeper level of martial arts that focuses on the internal aspects of the body, rather than just the external movements. Internal martial arts involve a combination of physical movements, breathing techniques, and mental focus. But, is this type of martial art real, or is it just a myth? Let’s dive into the world of internal martial arts and unmask the truth behind it.

Unveiling The Truth: Internal Martial Arts

Internal martial arts, also known as Neijia, is a traditional Chinese martial art that focuses on the mind-body connection. The aim of this martial art is to cultivate and harness the power of Qi (pronounced Chee), which is the life force energy that flows through our bodies. Internal martial arts utilize slow, controlled movements that require balance, coordination, and proper breathing techniques, along with mental focus and concentration. Practitioners of internal martial arts believe that by harnessing the power of Qi, they can improve their physical wellbeing and mental clarity.

The Mystery Behind Internal Martial Arts

Internal martial arts can be viewed as a mystery because it involves a lot of symbolism and deep philosophical concepts. When watching a skilled internal martial arts practitioner, it may appear as if they are barely moving, yet their movements are incredibly powerful. Much of the practice involves developing the ability to control the flow of Qi and use it to execute movements with power and efficiency. Additionally, many internal martial arts have a strong emphasis on Taoist philosophy, which includes concepts such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Tao, all of which add to the mystery of this martial art.

Wing Chun is a style that you either love or hate. I am not sure why that is, but you can literally walk into an martial arts forum and have a ton of martial artist involved in flame wars.

If you trained in Wing Chun for any amount of time you probably know that Chi Sao is like sparring for the Wing Chun community. I myself have been playing Chi Sao for around 20 years now.

With my Sifu my Chi Sao training is very structured. However, in the street training with other Wing Chun practitioners it can sometimes be the closest thing to fighting that you can experience without fighting. [Read more…]
