Qigong is divided into internal work and external work, internal work is divided into static work and dynamic work, and external work is divided into soft work and hard work. Martial arts can be divided into external martial arts and internal martial arts. My family's martial arts pay attention to both internal and external training, external training of muscles and bones, and internal training of qi, which complement each other, but the cultivation of internal qi has its certain limitations and is only used to enhance external work. Neijia Kung Fu pays attention to getting qi first, then nourishing qi, then luck, and then nourishing qi, and has special requirements for the continuous circulation and filling of internal qi, so that qi can strengthen the body. Although the two methods have their own characteristics, when they reach the highest level, they all form qi to activate the whole body meridians, first in the small Sunday, then in the big Sunday, and then in the eight strange meridians. Finally, qi can be emitted, which has a protective effect on the body and also has an effect on others and materials. It is a good portrayal that all diseases do not give birth, prolong life and rejuvenate.

Let's talk about soft qigong again: according to the classification of qigong, soft qigong should be soft work in external work. Compared with hard work, internal work is more than external work. What people now call soft qigong is only a classification of qigong by modern people from the perspective of health preservation, fitness and physical fitness. Its emphasis is no longer on martial arts, so it has become a kind of kung fu suitable for young and middle-aged people to practice, called hard qigong, and the kung fu used for health preservation and fitness is called soft qigong. Such as Tai Ji Chuan, Tuna Gong, Health-keeping Gong, etc. And a new method of practicing internal qi from external exercises such as Bagua Palm, which is called soft qigong.
