Internal strength is the essence of internal boxing, which is the “Dantian force”, hidden inside and not visible outside!
Internal strength, such as the softness of Tai Chi, the hardness of Xingyi, the agility of Bagua, and the treasures of boxing that blend with abdominal breathing.
Originated from the profound boxing practice, the joints of the whole body are as sensitive as strings, able to dance as the heart wishes, and freely change direction and size, like catkins in the wind, light and changeable. The essence of this internal boxing is the “Dantian force”, which is hidden inside and not visible outside, so it is called “internal strength”.
Internal strength is to concentrate the strength of the whole body on one point, which is more refined than “whole strength”. Guided by the inner perception, Dantian is the source of power, improving the relaxation and tension of muscles, and controlling power with qi to achieve an extraordinary martial art.
The realm of “four ounces to move a thousand pounds” pursued by internal boxing is the secret of internal strength conversion. It takes the enemy by surprise and attacks them unprepared, showing unpredictable moves and effects.
The “Internal Power Sutra” summarizes its essence into eight methods: communication, penetration, penetration, sticking, relaxation, toughness, combination, and firmness.
If communication is smooth, the strength will be smooth, and if penetration is unobstructed, the two complement each other, just like the water in rivers, which is unobstructed;
If penetration is connected, the strength will be connected, and if sticking is connected, the strength will be connected. The two are interwoven into a network, just like the warp and weft are interwoven, which is stable and flexible;
If it is loose, the strength will be soft, and if it is tough, the strength will be hard. The two transform into each other, and the hardness and softness are in harmony, just like the yin and yang complement each other, which is endless;
If it is combined, the strength will be unified, and if it is firm, the strength will be energetic. The two are condensed into one body, just like the indestructible diamond, which is invincible.
Internal strength covers the four major elements of the body: speed, strength, endurance, agility and flexibility, and also includes multi-dimensional abilities such as intelligence and experience.
It is a comprehensive motor function, which is the inner strength discovered and mastered by humans through long-term specific training. It originates from breathing, relies on the circulation of true qi in the body, and finally turns into a magical force that can act on the outside world.
Internal strength is the source of energy for human activities, the potential of life, and the material basis that supports our health and vitality. Through specific training methods, we can perceive it, control it, and use it to a certain extent.
Through a whole set of training methods, warm-up method is the starting point, horse stance is the basis, finger bending method is the key, dynamic exercises are self-guided, and a series of methods are organically combined, which is obtained by fate and profound.
