"Inner strength", a term of martial arts strength, is the specialty of Neijia boxing, while Xingyi boxing is unique, so it is tangible and energetic, gossip and Taiji waist. Refers to a force that can change direction and size at will after practicing martial arts, with reasonable joints and penetrating mind. Because its operation is hidden in the abdomen but not obvious, it is named "internal strength".

I have seen such a question and answer in Zhihu, asking why Zen can control other people's actions.

The answer is "not to control, but to guide, to mobilize the qi and blood of others with the qi emitted by qigong masters, thus triggering actions." "

It works for some people, but not for others. It depends on the health and practice of both sides. "

I have to declare here that the so-called "inner strength refers to Zen for health preservation and treatment" circulating on the Internet. Most of them are exaggerated, and the false propaganda of commercial words is too serious.

The original thirty-six hardness and thirty-six softness of Shaolin Temple, also known as thirty-six external skills and thirty-six internal skills, were secretly handed down in Shaolin Gate, but there is no detailed literature record. Practicing Wushu has the function of strengthening the body.

But "Shaolin One Finger Zen" does have a certain effect on health preservation.

There are many methods of "inner strength and one finger meditation", and the training methods are also strange. Although training does not emphasize quietness and intention, it is particularly strict with the correctness of posture and the order of movements. It can dredge channels and collaterals, regulate qi and blood of human body, balance yin and yang, and coordinate the functions of viscera, thus playing the role of eliminating diseases, strengthening body, improving intelligence and prolonging life, and integrating essence, qi, spirit and strength. If you keep practicing this skill, your basic skills will deepen over time. You can not only accumulate "internal strength" through "internal qi inflow", but also guide patients to treat diseases through "internal qi outflow". The external application of this method has a good effect on intractable diseases such as orthopedics, neurology and internal medicine.

"One-finger Zen is an internal martial art", and the five-character formula of Liuhe Eight-way Boxing, "Nourish my noble spirit and make my whole body resilient", are all the energy used in advanced boxing. Energy different from "force"

Expand family-run boxing and family-run boxing.

Neijiaquan focuses on practicing qi and pays attention to internal repair. Waijia Boxing focuses on training strength and appearance. Judging from people's appearance, there is little difference between those who practice internal skills and those who generally do not practice martial arts, but those who practice external skills are different. They look stronger and muscular! To say the difference between family boxing and foreign boxing, the difference is not very big from the appearance, but quite big from the method; Waijiaquan pays attention to "practicing one breath inside and muscle skin outside", which is based on the speed, strength and skill of the body and has a faster effect in technical attack; However, internal boxing is different. Neijia Boxing pays attention not to the training of speed, strength and skills, but to the development of human internal potential and physical fitness, and pays attention to the cultivation of skills and internal forces in attack and defense. Qigong can be used for reference by boxing at home and abroad, and it is not unique to domestic boxing.

Some characteristics of Neijia Boxing and Waijia Boxing are the integration of six forces.

"Heart and mind, heart and qi, qi and strength, hands and feet, shoulders and hips, elbows and knees" is the most basic cultivation principle of Neijia Boxing, also known as the internal and external trinity theory. The inner trinity of "heart and heart, heart and qi, qi and heart" is the key to the cultivation of introverted spirit, and it is also the inevitable requirement for the matching of heart and law to achieve the artistic realm of "refining the spirit and returning to the air". The external triad of "hands, feet, shoulders, hips, elbows and knees" is the key to the cultivation of bone and muscle morphology, and it is also the effort to achieve "up and down"! !

The simplest understanding of external triad is; Hands and feet up and down, shoulders and hips in the middle, elbows and knees. With the outer triad, we can enter the cultivation of the inner triad. That is, the combination of internal force and external force.
