What is internal Kung Fu! ! Does "internal force" in martial arts novels refer to "qi"? ! So how do you practice this Qi and how do you feel it? ? consult

There is a saying that trains the muscles, bones and skin externally and the essence, energy and spirit internally. There are also theories among internal and external practitioners about what is authentic and what is not authentic. What is passed down from ancestors is the authentic theory. There are also ancestral boxing techniques. China has the most internal Kung Fu in the world.

External Kung Fu refers to boxing that emphasizes training muscles, organs, skin and skills, such as Muay Thai. Nanquan also has this, not all fists focus on cultivating internal energy. Neijiaquan focuses on practicing internal energy. Those who practice foreign boxing will definitely have a short life, who told you. It doesn’t mean that foreign boxing is not powerful. There are records of fighting between Muay Thai and Tai Chi. Check it out. In fact, when practicing external martial arts to a certain level, it can also produce very good results. There are too many mysteries in boxing. Different schools cannot see the whole picture of other schools, and things must be viewed objectively.

What is internal boxing and what is external boxing? [Repost]

The concept of Neijiaquan originated from Huang Baijia in the Qing Dynasty, but the basis is unknown. Probably the Wudang sect is internal martial arts, while the Shaolin sect is external martial arts.

However, the Tai Chi we learn is neither internal nor external.

There is no distinction between internal and external martial arts in martial arts, only internal and external martial arts.

Whether it is Wudang, Shaolin, Tai Chi, Xingyi, or Bagua, anything that only cultivates the appearance and does not cultivate the inner energy is called external martial arts;

Anyone that cultivates both internal and external skills is internal martial arts. fist.

Any Kung Fu that sacrifices one’s body for one’s skills is external martial arts (if the Kung Fu is high, the whole body will be injured and injured, and one may not live long.);

Any Kung Fu that uses skills to maintain one’s health , which is Nei Kung Boxing (As the Qigong practice increases, the physical condition becomes stronger and stronger, and the martial arts will also be greatly improved.).

Shaolin Boxing has internal strength training methods, Wudang Boxing also has internal strength training methods, Tai Chi, Xingyi, and Bagua all have corresponding internal strength training methods. It cannot be said that Shaolin boxing is an external boxing, while Wudang boxing is an internal boxing. It cannot be said that Shaolin boxing is an external boxing and Wudang boxing is an internal boxing. All we can say is: "Only those who cultivate themselves well can be invincible in the world."

In my opinion, only those training methods that only practice external Kung Fu without practicing internal Kung Fu can be said to be external martial arts.

There are also some "internal Kung Fu" that belong to the Kung Fu of killing (injuring) people (such as acupuncture, if any) - this is not my own talk, it is the legend of the martial arts world itself. Bar? How powerful is acupuncture? Is it true that you can kill someone with just a touch of your finger? Or do you have to hit a certain part hard to kill or injure someone? If it has to hit a certain part hard, then what is so magical about it compared to other killing techniques? Who can explain these things clearly? Is there any medical test report to confirm it (such as the effect of acupuncture)? The effect of bullets injected into the human body can be studied, but the damage caused by acupuncture to the human body cannot be studied? Or is it a complete exaggeration?

Internal strength is formed through the practice of Qi (Qi). Qi training pays attention to breathing and exhalation. Abdominal breathing method is often used, and the spirit is concentrated, and the Legend of the Condor Heroes is improved step by step.

, thereby achieving the purpose of exercising the internal organs of the body. Martial arts can improve endurance, combat effectiveness and strong self-protection. Speaking of internal strength, you may think of the mysterious things in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Master". There are also many people who say that internal strength is nonsense. So is there such a thing as internal strength? The answer is of course yes. Let’s first clarify the fact that Qing Qigong and Hard Qigong are not considered internal skills. Although these two kinds of skills use Qi, they are not used systematically. Compared with internal strength, I prefer external strength. Internal strength comes from Chinese martial arts, and there are still many profound things worthy of further study and verification

Edit this paragraph to compare internal strength with hard strength and light strength

Hard strength focuses on the skin and flesh. Qinggong focuses on the waist and legs. Their Qi is naturally formed through long-term exercise, rather than being specially trained. Let me explain one by one:

1. Qing Gong

There are many ways to practice Qing Gong, most of which are Qing Gong practiced gradually

. For example, use a large bamboo basket (about 2 meters in diameter) filled with sand. Walk beside the bamboo basket, and run away when you get used to it. The requirement is that the basket cannot be stepped over. Of course, in the beginning, this requirement is easily achieved. Then use a bowl to take out a bowl of sand from the basket, and then run. After you become proficient, take out a bowl of sand... practice this way, and when all the sand in the basket is empty, you will be as light as a swallow. In this process, you will also naturally form a Qi. As the saying goes, "raising one's Qi and lightening one's body". But don’t try it, because no matter how hard you practice, you are unlikely to reach the standard, because there is a secret to using Qi that cannot be explained. If anyone knows these tips on how to use Qi, if you use these tips and practice hard, you can reach a state of being as light as a swallow in up to one year.

2. Hard Kung Fu

Hard Kung Fu mostly involves hitting various parts of the body with wooden sticks and other objects. This stimulation is used to reduce the pain when the body is hit, which is the so-called Anti-hit training. The external skin and flesh have been trained to a certain level, plus the knack of using Qi for hard work. The body will also generate a natural internal force. Maybe you already think these things are magical, but they cannot be regarded as internal strength.

Because their Qi is natural and not something they control. So, is internal strength still magical? From the looks of it, yes. Scientifically speaking, no. As Luanying said, no one can break the shackles of the laws of natural science. There may be some things that natural science cannot explain, but no matter what, rice and flour cannot be turned into nuclear weapons. Internal strength also has its limits. Through practice, a person can reach all kinds of almost "unbelievable" levels, but the human body will never be able to defeat an airplane or a cannon.

Edit this paragraph about the basic theories of internal strength

Before talking about internal strength, let’s talk about some basic theories of internal strength:

The acupuncture points and meridians of the human body

Most Westerners don’t believe this, but Chinese people basically believe this. It cannot be explained anatomically, but the existence of acupuncture points and meridians is certain. There is also a theory similar to acupuncture points in Indian yoga. Yoga believes that there are 14 life energy points on the human spine. Yoga practice is to stimulate these 14 energy points to achieve the effect of strengthening the body. The Chinese theory of acupuncture points is more detailed, and acupuncture points are not only found in the spine, but also in other parts of the body. The meridians play a role similar to a program. The eight extraordinary meridians connect the acupuncture points of the human body.

Qi

Even many Chinese people don’t believe in qi (Qi), mainly because they have never seen it. Of course, Qi is something invisible, and I haven’t seen it, but I have experienced it myself. Its existence is also certain. Even Chinese medicine has many theories about qi and blood. Qigong (Qigong) is a method that uses the adjustment of breathing, adjustment of physical activities and adjustment of consciousness (regulating breath, body shape, mind) to strengthen the body, prevent and treat diseases, stay fit and prolong life, and develop potential. A physical and mental exercise method for the purpose. There are many types of Qigong, which can be mainly divided into dynamic Qigong and static Qigong. Dynamic Qigong refers to Qigong that focuses on physical activities. For example, Daoyin School focuses on dynamic Qigong, and its characteristic is that it emphasizes body operations combined with mind and Qi. Quiet Gong refers to Qigong that does not move the body and relies only on consciousness and self-control of breathing. Most Qigong methods alternate between movement and stillness. In religion, Taoist priests often practice Daoyin and inner alchemy qigong. Meditation and meditation in Buddhism also include qigong. Qigong is often practiced in conjunction with martial arts or meditation. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who practice acupuncture often practice Qigong to enhance the therapeutic effect.

The theory of internal strength

Let’s talk about the theory of internal strength. The theories of internal strength and Tai Chi of each school are not the same, which means that each school has different internal skills and mental methods. There are many martial arts schools in China. Internal medicine includes Tai Chi, Baji, Xingyi, Bagua, etc. No matter which discipline, there is a so-called "Qi Fist". Each move must be still for a long time. This is the practice of internal strength. In jargon, it’s called “pile work.” The primary level of Zhuang Gong is just to experience Qi. For example, in a certain posture, you have to feel the hot Qi spreading upward from your feet to your waist. If you have this feeling, it means you have practiced correctly; if you don't, it means you have practiced incorrectly. When you are familiar with the movement of internal force, you can practice more advanced pile skills. At this time, the mental methods of various schools will be involved. How to guide and control your inner strength and make it run in the body.

Edit this paragraph The highest state of internal strength

The highest state of internal strength is called "body knowledge", which means "the body itself knows the movement of qi". To put it a little more "wuxia", it is called "opening up the two channels of Ren and Du". This statement is not unreasonable. Anyone who studies traditional Chinese medicine has learned about acupuncture points, and there is also a mantra that talks about the sequence and time of the movement of qi and blood in the human body. Which internal organs circulate at midnight, which internal organs circulate at noon... There are exactly 12 hours in a day when the whole body circulates. This is a Zhoutian (Xiantian Great Zhoutian). This week is one that humans are born to keep running. If a person who practices internal strength controls his internal strength to move quickly in his body, and takes an hour to complete the operation that should be completed in a day, can he still be the same as a normal person? And this Zhoutian (the Zhoutian the day after tomorrow) is divided into two types, one is the Great Zhoutian and the other is the Small Zhoutian. Xiao Zhoutian means to control the Qi and blood to only go around the two Ren and Du meridians (the top is the Baihui point on the head, and the bottom is the Huiyin point on the crotch. The central line in front of the body is the Ren meridian, and the central line in the back of the body is the Du meridian), and the speed is fast. But the growth of gong is slow. Da Zhoutian refers to controlling the flow of Qi and blood around all the meridians of the body, which increases gong quickly but slowly. This level of inner strength cultivation can only be achieved by people with "body knowledge". People who have achieved "body awareness" really give people a sense of unfathomable depth. There was a Tai Chi master (deceased) who was more than 1.6 meters tall. During his lifetime (he was over 80 years old at the time), he was sitting on a wicker chair. A strong man 1.9 meters tall pressed his arms with both hands and exerted all his strength. Hold him down. The old man just shouted loudly and used his internal force to push the strong man out more than 2 meters away. This is the power of "body awareness". In addition, there is also a kind of internal strength that is not meant to hit people. There is a kind of kung fu called "cold and heat iron cloth clothes" by the Wudang sect. It was created by Zhang Sanfeng

Zhang Sanfeng. Practicing this kind of kung fu can make people not afraid of cold and heat, and can travel around the world wearing only single clothes at all times. . This kind of internal strength not only involves the theories mentioned above, but also refers to Taoism's unique cosmology and health theory. I won’t go into details here. But again, there are limits to internal strength. For example, I am in Changchun now, where it often snows and the weather is cold, but I still only wear a shirt and a coat, not a sweater or a down jacket. Hanshu Tiebuyi is even more cruel than me, but there is no way he can go to Antarctica for a scientific expedition wearing just a pair of shorts.

The above explanation of internal strength comes from books and folk legends, and there is no research or scientific basis.

Edit this paragraph about internal strength in martial arts novels

The internal strength described in Chinese martial arts novels should be born In 1932, its "inventor" was named Li Shoumin. Li Shoumin also has a pen name "Huanzhu Louzhu". He, Zhang Henshui and others were the leaders of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School of novels in the early years of the Republic of China. Li Shoumin's representative work is "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman", but his most famous achievement in "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" is to create the literary genre of "martial arts novels", which combines the myths, monsters and swordsmen in ancient legends. , martial arts are integrated into one, creating prosperous martial arts novels, which is the first of its kind. Li Shoumin first mentioned "internal strength" in "Nineteen Heroes of Qingcheng", and then he further perfected the "doctrine" of "internal strength" in "Seven Wudang Women", "The Biography of Chang Mei Zhenren" and other books. He also proposed in the book the "doctrine" that Wudang Sect is "internal Kung Fu" and Shaolin Sect is "external Kung Fu". After liberation, Li Shoumin changed his name to Li Hong, and starting in 1956, he began to make profound self-criticisms in newspapers about his creation of "the poisonous weeds of feudal capital" in newspapers under the instructions of his superiors. Five years later, he was "criticized" to death by a young revolutionary general. While Li Shoumin was being criticized, Hong Kong and Taiwan writer Jin Yong and others began to take over Li Shoumin's banner, deepen his "doctrine" of internal strength, and began to create various martial arts schools. As a result, the novel genre founded by Li Shoumin developed and expanded. It became independent from the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School and became a "martial arts novel" that was later talked about in mainland China. When Li Shoumin died, martial arts novels were springing up in endlessly. Some good people named famous martial arts writers as heads of various martial arts sects based on the martial arts sects founded by them or the sects preferred by the protagonists in their books. For example, Liang Yusheng founded a Tianshan sect in his books, and liked to set the protagonist or positive character as a disciple of the Tianshan sect, so he was called the "head of the Tianshan sect". This is what was later called the leaders of the eight major sects of martial arts writers, the ten major sects, and the leaders of the eighteen major sects. It is said that there is a martial arts writer surnamed Liu who always prefers to feed the protagonist some ancient vegetables in his books - such as ancient tomatoes (often written as Cabernet Sauvignon or Zhuguo in the book), or ancient eggplants (Kunlun purple melon), etc. etc., so after he was designated as the leader of a certain sect, he was jokingly called the "leader of the wild fruit sect", also known as the "leader of the ancient vegetable sect". Later, those writers who also preferred to feed ancient vegetables to the "pig's feet" in their books were collectively called "disciples of the Wild Fruit Sect". Before Li Shoumin was born, or before the birth of "Nineteen Heroes of Qingcheng", there would never be "internal strength" in China. The theory of "internal strength" has never been mentioned in ancient Chinese novels before this, so in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was born in the early Ming Dynasty, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have no internal strength. Even the gods in "The Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" don't know internal strength. That was the era when Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang was alive! Until the Qing Dynasty, the knights in "New Heroes" did not know internal skills.

Edit this paragraph Tai Chi internal strength training method

1. Dantian breathing method

There are three major elements in internal strength training, namely regulating the body, regulating the breath, and regulating the mind. Among them, breath regulation refers to the adjustment of breathing. A martial arts proverb goes: "You can be soft, so you can be flexible; you can breathe and then you can be hard." The breathing method of Dantian is very simple. When inhaling, the lower abdomen naturally bulges. When exhaling, think of the navel and lower abdomen to be inducted, and then stick to the vital gate!

2. Opening and closing of shoulders and hips

Shoulders and hips are the root joints of the human body in Neijiaquan. That is, "the shoulders and hips are together, the elbows and knees are together, and the hands and feet are together." Those who can reach the outer three combinations can already hit the front and back, which can easily kill people. The shoulders and hips are the key here. In this exercise, the shoulder (scapula) is required to form a forward vertical circular movement in the order of upward, forward, downward, and backward. When inhaling, it moves downward and backward, and when exhaling, it moves upward and upward. When doing forward movement, we must not ignore "if the shoulders are not strong, the strength will be weak". It is difficult for the crotch to move actively, but it also opens and closes during breathing. Please pay a little attention to it, focus on experience, and do not pursue large-radical movements.

3. Opening and closing the hands

Strictly speaking, the step of opening and closing the hands also includes the opening and closing of the feet. But just like the opening and closing of the shoulders and hips, the opening and closing of the lower plate is hidden, while the opening and closing of the upper plate is revealed. That is to say, when the Dantian inhales and protrudes outward, the Laogong points on the palms of both hands should have the intention of inward suction, and the same should be true for the springs on the soles of the feet. At this time, all five fingers (toes) of the person should be inwardly clasped. It means to exhale; when you press it after exhaling in the Dantian, the person's labor palace and gushing spring should have the meaning of spitting out.

From the perspective of traditional qigong, the opening and closing of hands (feet) can quickly open the labor palace, practice breaking bricks and stones, and strike the small star palm power within the superficial wound. However, my personal experience is that this is the key to human cultivation. From external use to internal use, it is the key to develop the human body's potential and achieve superior results.

Dantian Opening and Closing Pile Exercise

The specific training of Dantian Opening and Closing Pile Exercise is actually very simple: Stand with your feet parallel, with the distance slightly wider than shoulder width, the lower jaw slightly retracted, and the posture The spirit is strong, the upper body is upright, relax vertically from the head down, relax the shoulders, waist, and hips. As you relax, let the gravity fall on the midpoint of the line connecting the centers of the feet, bend the knees slightly, and grasp the ground with the five toes. Slowly raise your hands from the side of the body to form an embrace between the chest and abdomen. The palms of both hands face each other, the palms of the hands are tilted forward, and then the palms are opened and closed in conjunction with the breathing. It requires breathing as the command. When inhaling, the lower abdomen will naturally bulge, and the shoulder blades will also move downward and open backward. Use the shoulder blades to support the arms, open the palms outwards, and inhale inward with the inhalation; exhale. When breathing, the navel should be adducted and attached to the Ming Gate. At the same time, the shoulder blades should be brought up and forward to drive the arms. When you are vomiting from the labor palace, imagine holding a ball of air between your palms. The air ball will be dense and solid, and it will not move when you press it with your two palms. In this way, the exercise is the first step in the Dantian opening and closing exercise. If you practice the method in the lower Dantian, within seven days, the Dantian will form a ball of air, the Laogong point will be opened, and you will begin to have the ability to break bricks and stones. With further practice, it will be about Within 36 days, the inner Qi can open up the big and small heavens, and within a hundred days, the Qi can penetrate the whole body. It is an excellent way to practice martial arts, maintain health, and keep fit. Gossip later: The training of Dantian Gong is rich in connotation. It combines the essence of inner alchemy, muscle and bone skills of martial arts and various training methods to form an efficient and quick-improving internal martial arts. Mr. Wu Bingwen, the descendant of the Shanxi Xingyi Quan Master Li Xuzhou line, once said: "Those who seek Qi alone will be stagnate by Qi, and those who seek strength alone will be restrained by force." This is exactly the way to open and close Dantian. annotation. In the world of qigong, more than 90% of the qigong exercises involve practicing Dantian, but there are very few people who have succeeded. Is it because Dantian is difficult to practice? Absolutely not. Generally, if you practice Dantian Kung Fu in 7 days for sensitive people and 100 days for slow people, you can basically form a Dantian Qi mass, which can circulate Qi in the Great and Small Zhoutian. But the problem is that those who simply practice Qi and refine the Dantian can often have sufficient initial energy within a few days, and then suffer from severe burns, which are difficult to control and cause the essence to travel all over the place. Therefore, for Qi practitioners, practicing Refining Qi is a threshold that is difficult to cross. In the strength training of martial arts, Dantian Kung is a strength training of the waist and hips. Anyone who uses Western-style muscle training will not hurt the waist, so some people think that the waist cannot be trained. The beauty of the Dantian Opening and Closing Technique is that it perfectly combines internal and external practices, and combines the Dantian, shoulders, hips, hands and feet. This is the reason why it is highly effective and quick to achieve. Furthermore, there is a theory of the two qi of dragon and tiger in Neijiaquan. Some people say, "Drilling, wrapping and practicing are skills, and the dragon and tiger are used to attack." Others say: "The dragon and tiger are the skills, and drilling, wrapping, and practicing are attacks." So, how should we understand it? Putting this "dragon and tiger qi" theory in the gossip after Dantian Gong has actually explained my point of view, which is that "drilling, wrapping and practicing are used as techniques, and the dragon and tiger qi are used as strikes." What is the two qi of dragon and tiger? If you practice the Dantian opening and closing skill deeply and practice it, you should gain some understanding! When practicing Dantian Opening and Closing Kung Fu, you should also control your sexual appetite appropriately. It is best to abstain from sexual intercourse for a hundred days. In addition, there are three major elements in the practice of internal strength, namely body shape, breath, and mind. The core of Neijiaquan emphasizes "upright form and smooth Qi". The effectiveness of internal cultivation is mainly obtained from the body frame. Although the practice of opening and closing the Dantian is focused on breathing, if the effect of someone's practice is not obvious, then the answer should be sought from the body frame. If someone does the exercise outdoors and the effect is not obvious, they can also find a pine tree and hold it with both hands to open and close it. This is a little trick. You can practice this skill at any time and frequency, and you can practice it at any time, especially at midnight and noon. The only thing you must pay attention to is that after practicing this skill, you must practice collecting it!

Edit this paragraph on the inner strength of Crane Fist

Adjustment of internal strength

In He Fist, you use Qi. The Qi sinks into the Dantian. When injecting Qi, do not focus on strength. Pay attention to injecting Qi more. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this "qi" refers to the subtle substances that can move and change in the human body, and have a certain movement route. Martial artists believe that this movement of chi can be trained. Practicing qi is called qigong, or internal strength. Crane Fist Do is all about practicing this kind of energy. The internal strength practiced in Crane Boxing is a kind of Dantian skill. Dantian can be divided into upper Dantian, middle Dantian and lower Dantian. Crane Boxing focuses on the lower Dantian, which is the Qihai point in the middle of the lower abdomen, an inch and a half below the navel. During practice, the energy should sink into the Dantian and breathe rhythmically. The breathing should be continuous, fine, deep, even, fine, soft, and powerful; and the intention should be to guard the Dantian. In this way, the Dantian position is sometimes loosened and sometimes tightened, and abdominal breathing was performed rhythmically. Continuously doing this kind of exercise will make you feel warm blood flowing in your abdomen soon after the training begins, and your whole body will gradually feel warm. This is the smooth circulation of Qi and blood in the human body. It follows the meridians, descending from Danri to the center of the foot (Yongquan point), then ascends through the back and neck, until the top of the head (Baihui point), and then descends through Yanqiao to Dantian. , forming an oval-shaped circulation pattern. This kind of qi and blood circulates very quickly, over and over again. When practicing Dantian Gong, the abdomen should feel full and elastic, which will make the body skin extremely tough over time. , can withstand considerable punches and kicks.

As the saying goes, "Practice one breath internally and muscles, bones and skin externally." "Practice boxing without practicing kung fu, and it will be all in vain when you grow old." From birth to adulthood, people often have Yin in their hands and Yang in their decline. This "Yin Sheng" refers to the body's healthy appearance, and this "Yang Decline" refers to the lack of Qi in the human body. If the internal Qi is insufficient and the Qi and blood cannot reach the four tips, people will often be sick. Therefore, the method of weakening the supple body should be used to help the growth of the internal Qi, and finally achieve a balance between the outer shape and the internal Qi. This is the purpose of practicing Crane Boxing. Scholars must not know. Therefore, those who watch the teacher are loose, trembling, leaping and jumping, alternating fast and slow, hard and soft, and trying their best to imitate before reaching the balance of yin and yang. Not only can they keep fit, but they can also harm the body! Therefore, when learning to practice Crane Boxing, you must follow the rules and do not act too hastily.

Edit the use of internal strength in this paragraph

Before learning to rub your hands, you must master the eight types of strength: tenting, stroking, squeezing, pressing, picking, pushing, elbowing, and leaning. When kneading hands, these eight kinds of energy should be used together appropriately. The method used to induce or attack the opponent is not a simple method of force, but a mixture of several kinds of force. This kind of mixed strength does not refer to the mixed changes in hand posture and appearance, but specifically refers to the effects of several kinds of strength when the internal strength is released. In the final analysis, it is necessary to use internal strength according to the opponent's situation. This is also the reason why people with advanced kung fu skills always give people the feeling that "it's not the same as pushing or squeezing in a shed" when they exert their energy. However, it must be noted that only after first mastering the eight kinds of strength: tenting, stroking, squeezing, pressing, picking, pushing, elbowing, and leaning, can we correctly and selectively mix and use various kinds of strength. For example, when using the mixed force of tenting, pressing, and squeezing to attack the opponent, or using the mixed force of picking and pushing to lure the opponent, and then using the elbow and internal force as backup, five or four kinds of force are mixed respectively. When using mixed energy, it is not a fixed idea in advance which types of energy should be mixed, but it completely depends on the situation at the time and the user's skill level, that is, it is naturally mixed according to the application. The essence of these eight kinds of energy is internal energy. The only difference lies in the different expressions and usage methods of inner energy. Internal strength is a "skill", which is intangible and imageless. The technique is "movement", which is tangible. "Skill" is yin, "movement" is yang, and the two must be combined with each other. When applied, as shown in the Tai Chi diagram, yin does not separate from yang and yang does not separate from yin. That is to say, there must be a way out of the moves, and the skills must find a way out through the moves. The combination of moves but no techniques is a method of contesting with external forces. The use of techniques without techniques cannot affect the opponent. Only when there is skill in the move, and the skill is followed by the move, can it be a Tai Chi technique that combines both internal and external movements. There are two ways to generate energy: one is "fixing the hair", also known as "quiet hair"; the other is "activating the hair", also known as "moving hair". Stay still while getting your hair fixed. To learn Fa Jin, you must first learn Dingfa. Hair styling is a basic and commonly used hair style. Hair rejuvenation is done between the ups and downs of the feet, so it is more difficult and more powerful than hair styling. The method of revitalizing hair is different from that of rejuvenating and rubbing hands. Only after mastering the active step and rubbing hands can you understand the secret of active hair. Hair lifting is carried out when the feet are lifted and about to fall to the ground. "A foot moves an inch, a hand grows a foot", embodying the power of living hair.
