Introduction to Chi Gong (Qigong – Khí công)

• Chi (qi) is an ancient Chinese term, which can be translated as energy. Like energy, the word chi is used in both abstract and concrete terms, and applied to both general concepts and specific phenomena. In other words, chi is ambiguous. (People who use the term often have a specific meaning in mind.)
• In the broadest sense of the word, chi is generally understood to be pervasive, present in everyone and everything, but it is not uniformly distributed.
• Chi moves freely around the universe, assuming various forms along the way. Disciplines such as Chi Kung (Qigong) and Feng Shui purport to observe and manipulate chi, for the specific benefit of human life. (more…)

When people think about TaiJi, the image of slow exercises performed by old people is what most readily comes to mind. The tranquil, uniform speed seems so unrelated to western ideas of exercise, and so far removed from a martial art, that claims for its literal translation: “Supreme Ultimate Boxing” seem greatly exaggerated! To solve this puzzle, it is helpful to have an historical perspective on the origin of TaiJi.

Pushing your enemy without using too much force is a Chen principle.

Without learning pushing hands, you cannot say that you know Taiji very well. So pushing hands is very important in Taiji. Why? Because Taiji concerns itself with the centre, using a centralised energy to make others lose their centre. When a person loses their centre of gravity, although they may possess great physical power, they still cannot use it. So pushing hands is a basic Taiji technique used to make others lose their centre of gravity. Of course, whatever you do must conform with the principles of Taiii and apply the principles of centre.

If you study Wing Chun, you must have heard about Pak Sau. After learning the basic techniques: Tan Sau, Bong Sau & Fuk Sau, you will learn some more self defence methods where you can apply the principles to fighting. Remember, the Wing Chun principle is to use as little energy as you can; moreover, you should use your enemies energy! Pak Sau follows this principle and results in powerful attacks. (QI Magazine)

When the enemy attacks you with a punch. His arm will be tense. As he comes toward you, just receive his energy with Tan Sau.

The easiest way to rob your opponent of their power is to break their connection with the ground. Thus uprooted, Newton’s Third Law compromises their ability to generate penetrating force, and reduces any continued aggression from a potentially deadly threat to a mere nuisance.

The complementary skill—the ability to keep your footing amidst incoming force—is known in Chinese martial arts as rooting.
Typical demonstrations of rooting skill consist of a wushu master in a static posture, with a pack of disciples pushing and pulling to no avail. These shows are impressive, but often fail to highlight the most important characteristic of the skill: effortlessness.
