"Practice makes the integration and enhancement of one's physical and non-physical aspects, including the forms, qi, will, and mind. Consequently, it will be of one's use when one is in a combat." said Master Li Cunyi . Xingyi Quanjing (the book of Xingyiquan): "When you're practicing, practice like there's an opponent. When you're fighting, fight like there's no opponent before you." "The maneuvers have no form and the will has no thought. The real will exists only when the thought is absent." "Those who seem to attack do not attack, while those who seem to not attack do attack." Well, don't these things sound contradictory? Are they tongue-twisters? One can experience and understand these mysteries of covert and transformed strength of internal martial arts only when she or he obtains the comprehensive inheritance of internal practices of forms, qi, and will. Once you experience and understand them, you'll see these are much more than martial arts. In fact, these are of Dao, that follows Nature's tranquility and non-interference. The biggest has nothing out of it. The smallest has nothing inside it. It is something that encompasses everything, and only those who have a pure and sincere mind can obtain it. That is to say, the most advanced martial arts are the practices of Dao. They are highly centered, purely righteous, totally upright, extremely strong but also extremely tender. People who all the time work on how to combat have lost the real use of martial arts. When they are threatened they stare at the person angrily and some of them feel the loss of strength in their arms and legs; consequently they fight without a rule. Why? That's because they have no way to pull down and maintain their qi in Dantian. If you don't know the yin and yang of qi and the operation of qi, and you have no idea how to employ the forms to regulate your qi, also you don't understand how to practice internally and use your will instead of your strength, then how can you integrate every part in your body to conform to the ways of the heavens and earth according to Dao? 李存義宗師:「練之為體，較之則為用！」 形意拳經: 「練時面前無人如有人；用時面前有人似無人！」 「拳無拳意無意，無意之中是真意！」 「打打打不打打打，不打打打不打打」 哈哈！矛盾嗎？在繞口令嗎？ 唯有進入內在形、炁、意的完整傳承煅煉，這些內家拳關於暗化勁謎題，才能親証解開。 解開後，您會發現原來這不再僅只是武術，她是效法自然清靜無為的道，奇大無外奇小無內無所不包，並且須擁有至善至誠的心方可以到的了。 精深的功夫是道功 ，至中至善至正至剛至柔。 整天練用法，結果不是真有大用，遇事怒目而視手腳無力毫無章法，原因為何？是真的沈不住炁啊！不懂炁的陰陽、不知炁運之理、不會以形制炁、不懂怎麼內練、不會用意不用力、、、，怎麼能貫串自身合天地合道呢？
Good to see quality Xing Yi on youtube.

李存義宗師:「練之為體，較之則為用！」
形意拳經:
「練時面前無人如有人；用時面前有人似無人！」
「拳無拳意無意，無意之中是真意！」
「打打打不打打打，不打打打不打打」
哈哈！矛盾嗎？在繞口令嗎？
唯有進入內在形、炁、意的完整傳承煅煉，這些內家拳關於暗化勁謎題，才能親証解開。

精深的功夫是道功
，至中至善至正至剛至柔。
