As a professional bodyworker I've been influenced by the work of Tom Myers for years. During my anatomy training I was exposed to cadaver study and was shocked to see the sheer ubiquity of connective tissue membranes throughout the body,and got a 3 dimensional sense of how the human body is more fabric than machine. This is right in line with what I have learned and observed. What I am able to activate and mobilize in my Ba Gua and Xing Yi practice is directly related to what I can visualize and feel in my own body,and this is a great reminder of how we can train our ourselves to move more efficiently and in a more healthy and balanced way. Thanks for sharing.

Very very good stuff. This is the perfect example of the first well known version of internal power. However there is another one with actual chi that is misunderstood to the point that most people believe it either, doesn't exist or it must have to do with this physical way of internal power. The old chinese terms in internal martial arts, like ming jing, (obvious energy), an jing (hidden energy), and Hua Jing(transformational energy) have been examined and many people have tried to understand what they mean(along with tons of other "mystical" terms that people have often reimagined or literally guessed about what they mean.) I don't know why but real chi development is still difficult for people to grasp(maybe because of all the dammed charlatans), but the exercises to work on it are very simple. Its all about relaxation to work on and feel the energy. Anyways what is mentioned in this video is one very valid version of internal power, but don't forget even many chinese masters focus entirely on this version, some disprove that chi exists at all. I cant fathom why something so simple is complicated by everybody, after all..tai chi,xing yi quan, neigong etc. are all means to achieve the energetic power(AND this physical version of power sometimes), you mostly need to practice them as relaxed as possible and focus on small techniques at a time. The energy can be used for health/martial arts..Regardless if you feel a slight tingle in your hands, a warmth, pins and needles, a magnetic feeling in between your hands(all when doing the chi ball exercise) that is just a super tiny almost insignificant taste of the actual energy.

Sir. I've been scattering around the internet and trying to learn about Martial Arts. And would u say it's ok to add in yoga and Pranayama. Like actual yoga and not the modern bs. Would you say it's ok to add in Yoga and tai chi practice. And can you help me. And let me know. Whats a good place to start tai chi

so very close, bringing in material understanding and spiritual significance, and showing it with scientific evidence. The veil is deep and murky, but that does not mean Truth is hard to 'see' or understand. For example, you have 'tension' between the left and right sides of your body. There is tension as well, between the left hand and left foot, those 'tensions' extend towards your arms/torso and also legs/hips(lower torso). It is not imaginary that we are created Perfect and in a 5 point star alignment. Everything is connected, so are the designs and movements of each body part and cells. Keep working, and asking, and the Universe(GOD) will answer in the most appropriate form, For each individual.

@Proxiginus2 жыл бұрын
The 8 movements are Soften,Connect, Open, Close, Stretch, Compress, Twist, and Release. The best way to train this is something I can't tell you for sure. They aren't exactly muscles but movements that one is able to do with joint-muscle-tendon systems for my lack of a better term. Maybe it's more about fascia I'm not fully sure myself. I imagine a good starting point would be seeing those movements in the things you do and trying to train specific ones and low intensity, high focus, slowed movement
