Chi as I have come to understand it is different forms of energy naturally residing in the human body. Thus there are different categories and sub-categories of chi, the main ones I will try to delineate within this text. The first is the basic process of energy transfer in the cells known commonly as metabolism. This means that the foods we eat directly effect our energy levels, as most people know. The second is what I refer to as kinetic chi, this energy is stimulated by exercise and physical activity, and is directly related to blood flow and temperature. The third form is channeled by oxygen or breathing. Deep regular breathing enlivens the blood and serves as a catalyst to other chi categories. The fourth kind is what I call spirit chi or light chi. The Chinese refer to this as Shen, or Spirit. This one in my opinion is connected to the heart and mind. To increase this flow of energy one must live a righteous life in accordance with Gods jurisprudence. By praying and staying in communion with our creator we increase this "source energy" or light chi.

Learn Internal Martial Arts using Skype messanger system online.

The main objective of this DVD is to show the advantages of training Internal Boxing for the likes of fighters competing in MMA, Prize Boxing, K-1, & UFC, etc. Shadow Boxing (Tai Chi) helps to stretch the muscles and build punching fluidity while preparing for real time combat. The condensed postures build lower body strength and flexibility through the natural conduit of static isometrics. Any serious pugilist will tell you the importance of: balance, stability, waist flexibility, punching fluidity, and footwork in the quest to become a masterful boxer. My goal is to display a new concept of Martial Arts training that compliments both "hard" and "soft" boxing methodologies. After studying western boxing for the last ten years and analysing the likes of: Marciano, Ali, Archie Moore, Floyd Mayweather, Pac-Man, & Pernell Whitaker, a new formulae for success has arisen that is unlike the common system's dominating today's boxing stratosphere. The integration of (Shadow Boxing) & (Hard Boxing) gives the trainee a superior sense of eyesight, dexterity & full body coordination.

Taoist Immortals
Qigong is a practice that has a history that goes back thousands of years. The principles of this practice were known under various names throughout history such as Dao Yin, Shiu Liao, and Nei Gong. Whatever the name - even Tai Chi Chuan is a derivative of this art - these practices were designed to help the practitioner cultivate Qi, strengthen the body, and in so doing, build the spirit. The result would naturally extend one?s life beyond the normal genetic programming of the body... or maybe these exercises actually awoke the inherent genetic intelligence and produced the life that we were meant to live.
"I am in no way interested in immortality, but only in the taste of tea."
...the 400 year-old Lu T'ung, (b. 755 A.D.)

I am very interested in your concept of Energy Release and Fajing. Can you expand on this in anyway?
There is a chapter in The Martial Cocoon that explains an important concept called The Heart-Mind Connection. When we talk about energy there are a lot of things to consider. There is psychic Mind/Sexual energy, there is Heart-Mind energy, and then there is the ultimate combining of the two that together are like Gold compared to utilizing just one. When people tell me that ethics doesn’t play a vital role in energy cultivation -I have to have a good hearty laugh. Some people rely solely on Mind/Sexual energy and have a great degree of success with it. This method includes rejuvenation after sexual intercourse as well as retention of seminal fluids. On the other hand the Mind/Heart energy is the strongest and most capable of the two. So the question remains, how can we combine these two together? Well the Mind-Sex energy comes from proper breathing and mind related stimulation of the groin-spinal cord & brain center. The Heart-Mind energy comes from years of living ethically and having a clean heart. People that have this have strong electrical/magnetic auras and are able to generate massive energy by sheer compassion and humility.
