Chi Mastery Through Coordinated Body Motion In Kung Fu!

By:


I am going to tell you the truth about this thing called Chi in this article. It is an easy truth, but you are going to have to give up all your mysticism. No matter if you study wudan or Shaolin, you are going to have to think logically and actually change the way you have been thinking.

In the first place, this mysterious thing we have been calling chi is nothing more than a catch basket. Don't get me wrong, chi is real, chi exists and can be used, but everybody confuses it by calling whatever they don't understand chi. If somebody blows out a candle at twelve feet with a strike, it is the chi, but if somebody makes all the green lights, it is also the chi, so the subject of chi has been thrown around until is a confusion.

To create this thing called chi one must discipline their body so it acts as a coordinated unit, I call this Coordinated Body Motion. In olden times instructors would tell their students to use the body as one unit, but that doesn't really tell the story of what one is actually doing. One must break the body down and understand all the pieces, if he is going to use it as a whole unit.

All motion of the body must start at the same instant. The fist and the foot move forward together at the same moment. There is no backward push to give forward movement, the movement is only forward, and it must be done at the same moment.

All motion must stop at the same time. The fist and the foot stop at the same time. There is no staggering or swaying, the weight simply plants down at the point of impact.

All of the parts of the body must move relative to their size and weight. The hips, weighing more than the foot, must still achieve a smooth arc of motion that begins and ends simultaneous with the foot. The fist having a longer arc than an elbow, or a shoulder, must still start motion and stop motion at the same time as the elbow or shoulder.

When the body starts and stops in this manner, and all the body parts are properly evaluated for the range they must move and the amount of weight that must be moved, then you will achieve CBM. Coordinated Body Motion, you see, is the key to it all. CBM achieved, there will be a release of Chi.

When you move with CBM your attention will be off the body and on the target, and then intention will flow. It is Intention that is Chi. Intention will fill up the body with energy, and enable you to have those amazing abilities that true martial arts possess. Of course, this is just the first step, a simple little step, and to make your way to the end of the Martial Arts, and to find the True Martial Art, no matter whether you study Aikido or Karate or whatever, you must find the remaining steps of the Martial Arts.
