I started formal karate training in 1974 around 75 - 76 a book came out written by Robert W Smith called Chinise boxing masters and methods.This book was the first time I heard about the internal method of martial arts and some of the instructors he mentions is in this book.If any one can find this book it will have a wealth of information on these masters of the enteral arts
Thank you Bruce for going through the process of gaining this important knowledge and sharing it with us. I was extremely lucky to have found your school and in the short time I've been training it, it has already changed my life a lot. Looking forward to the next live training, hopefully I can get out there in July.
The orator states that he spoke fluent Mandarin but doesn't even give one sentence to prove that. The same for Japanese. That is very suspicious. He also states that he didn't have a lot of money but somehow his family managed to send him to a private school and he made numerous trips to Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Where was he getting the money?
"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? The reason why some people intend to abandon what has been passed down and, instead, invent new forms and new rules is that they've never learned the authentic things. Some did find a teacher who can teach them the correct way but they discontinued before they learn the quintessence. The complete inheritence of Xingyi, Bagua and Taiji now can only be found on few people. Why? The answer lies in the gradual loss of the ways of internal excercises from generation to generation. People who know little about the internal will definitely do the external practices wrongly. The losing of the authentic inheritence resulted in the incomplete forms of external practices. To some extent, the right ways of internal practices and the correct external forms are barely known. Nowadays some learners of internal martial arts want to rediscover the practicing ways of internal practices and the rules from the books written by the past elders. However, what they can find are superficial and will not really fill the regretful gap. If people can't learn from those of the authentic inheritence, their lifelong pursuit without true understanding will be just in vain. Wholeheartedly, I appreciate my teacher Li Mengxiong (李孟雄) and his father for handing down the authentic and complete teachings. Thanks to them and the heavens, the daoist Xingyiquan (形意拳) and Baguazhang (八卦掌) are not lost in this world. 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？ 河北形意拳【傳承】:劉奇蘭祖師→李存義祖師→李東園宗師→李孟雄宗師→周中勲、汪、、、 龍形游身八卦掌【傳承】:董海川祖師→李存義祖師→李東園宗師→李孟雄宗師→周中勲、汪、、、 郝式太極拳【傳承】:桑丹棨大師→李孟雄宗師→周中勲、汪、、、 形意八卦門Xingyi Bagua School of Martial Arts. 周炁道Zhou Qi Dao Martial Arts 道功形意拳Dao Gong Xingyi Quan 龍形遊身八卦掌Roaming Dragon BaguaZhang 郝式太極拳(桑丹棨傳承) Taiji Quan 道功Dao Gong 五行炁功5 Elements Qigong 內家拳內功Neijia Quan Qigong Our lineage of Xingyi Quan of 形意八卦門Xingyi Bagua School of Martial Arts started with Master Li Neng , who taught Master Liu Chelan, who taught Master Li Cunyi , who taught Master Li Dong Yuan, who taught his son Master Li Meng Xiong, who is my master.

Hey Bruce, I read some of your books a few years back, and one of the things that stuck with me was what you said about one of your teachers saying about standing meditation being able to help you learn 3x faster and Ive done some standing meditation here and therenover the years but Id really like to get into it consistently and I was just wondering what your top 3 pieces of advice are in regards to standing meditation? Thanks in advance. Have a great day.
I would love to see some more Liu footage. The clip you have is so beautiful to watch. Thanks for your teaching.

This was interesting to listen to, Thank you, Sir.

「練時面前無人如有人；用時面前有人似無人！」

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。

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？
