One of the biggest mysteries come out of the eastern arts is internal energy. Wudan arts, like Pa Kua Chang and Tai Chi Chuan and Hsing i claim it. Supposedly it takes lifetimes to create this thing called internal energy, but when you get it you can defeat attackers with just a sigh and a wave of the palm.
Well, the truth of the matter is that internal energy, called chi, or ki, is in many arts, and if it is not, it can be put into any art easily. The principles of internal energy, you see, are very basic, though they take a certain amount of patience. So if you study kenpo or tae kwon do, or even boxing, then get set to step through the door, this article is going to lay out those principles.

The first thing you are going to have to learn is that it doesn’t take decades to learn such arts as Tai Chi Chuan or Pa Kua Chang or Aikido. Look, the army makes soldiers in a handful of months, and that includes some high tech stuff! And, when you add up the actual hours spent on that college course, it doesn’t take that long to make a teacher or a computer expert.
The idea that it takes immense amounts of time is something that has been foisted on us by people who want to make money. After all, the longer somebody studies, the longer they pay the fees for that cultural dojo box, the…do you get the idea. So get over the idea that it takes time, and get used to learning fast!

The truth of the art known as Tai Chi Chuan is inherent in a symbol that nobody understands. If you read to the end of what I have written here you will understand that symbol, and it will enlighten your practice of the martial arts. I am speaking of that grand terminus, the symbol we call yin yang.
The Yin Yang symbol is two fishes swimming is night and day is good and evil is…poppycock. The Yin Yang symbol has nothing to do with those poetic but truncated observations possible to our short lived species. The Ying Yang symbol is actually a quite mechanistic approach and empirical observation to our universe.

Do enough Pa Kua Chang and something really weird happens. Pa Kua, as many people know, is that martial art where you walk in a circle endlessly. Circles where you find loops within spirals within circles.
Let me explain a couple of things first, before I explain this really weird thing that happens in Pa Kua Chang. You will find that weird is normal in this universe, and normal is weird, if you understand these things. All righty?
