Tai Chi, Xingyi & Bagua are Not "Soft" Arts

If you study Tai Chi, Hsing-I or Bagua, the principles of internal strength form the foundation of your kung-fu. That is, IF you are lucky enough to have an instructor who knows these principles. An astounding number of teachers don't.

The internal martial arts depend upon unique movement and the skills of intercepting force, adapting to it, neutralizing it and countering it.

This highly-praised, best-selling DVD focuses on SIX of the most important physical skills you need to do high-quality Tai Chi Chuan, Hsing-I Chuan or Baguazhang.

In this DVD, Ken Gullette demonstrates 25 internal strength exercises with a partner, showing you how to practice at home. He also clearly demonstrates and explains the six key body mechanics that form the foundation of the internal arts of Chinese kung-fu:

1. Establishing and maintaining the ground path

2. Establishing peng jin and maintaining it at all times

3. Dan T'ien rotation

4. Opening and closing the Kua

5. Whole-body movement, and,

6. Silk-Reeling energy (spiraling movement)

Modern Tai Chi instruction is often very soft, focusing on semi-mystical things such as "cultivating chi" or developing healing powers. As Ken will show you, the real secret of Tai Chi comes from physical skills that give you the relaxed power you can use for health and fitness, but also gives you the foundation of a powerful martial art for self-defense. Those same body mechanics are also essential for Xingyi and Bagua.

What Other Martial Artists Say About the "Internal Strength" DVD

"While I had spent many years in the martial arts with an emphasis on tai chi and bagua, my instructors either were not aware of the principles in this DVD, or only taught these principles indirectly. This DVD is a gold mine of information. I have many martial arts instructional videos in my library, and I can't think of another DVD that has impacted my internal arts practice as much as the "Internal Strength" DVD. This DVD changed the way I did all of my internal martial arts forms. I could have saved literally months to years of hard work if I had known about the concepts explained in this video when I started my training. I highly recommend this DVD for all practitioners of tai chi, hsing-I, and bagua. If you don't learn anything new from this DVD, you are very, very fortunate indeed to have had great teachers and you are far luckier than I. For everyone else, this DVD needs to be on your shelf and in your DVD player." -- Evan Yeung, Cincinnati, OH

"Practicing principles that I wish I knew about when I started Taichi more than 12 years ago. Ken has explained the internal strength principles in plain English and illustrated them clearly in the video. Based on my experience and observations, even if you pay 100s or even 1000s of dollars taking hours of lessons with a qualified instructor, you may not be able get the same clarity on how to practice as compared to what you can get from this video." -- Lim Liau Yuan
