Internal power is more than simple force; it is rather a relaxed, fluid explosively issuing energy that can be done with any part of the body: the fist, palm, elbow, shoulder, knee, or foot, can make contact with an opponent to strike and/or throw. Along with developing sensitivity, neutralization and redirecting skills, a practitioner is always seeking martial efficiency and to be capable of using powerful aggressive striking movements, which based on Silk Reeling Energy - the core of internal arts.
These applications with their explosive energy or Fa Li training will greatly enhance and develop one’s fighting skills and abilities that can be used practically. Taking out the difficult choreography of Chen style tai ji quan, Master Zhu Tian Cai, from the Chen Village, refined, developed, and taught the old training methods of Chen Zhao Kui (Chen Fa Ke’s son), to help practitioners to enhance their understanding of internal power and training along with accuracy, speed and timing. Master Zhu’s short routine can be practiced in individual sections for training, or practiced as a short form.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn some of the oldest and rarest aspects of Internal Martial Arts, which can be applied to any martial arts system.
No experience necessary.
