So Sorry for the offence. My friend there was pun intended with the alchemist joke. Sorry if it offended you. Back to Theory. This seems to be your interest right now. First off regardless if we share theory with people on the forum?
Will they be able to practice Chi Kung from my link or this thread?
No they will not be able to practice Chi Kung at all. My link is simply something that shares info that Chi Kung sets exist in Wing Chun. However it doesn't show you how to practice the forms. There are a few pictures true. But the postures and transitions are not there. The breath work is not shown there. The exact timing and rotation of the body contractions etc is not shown on there. Now it depends on your style lineage and many other things.
But we can all agree you need a sifu in order to learn the Chi Kung. This is my humble Opinion...
Now for Chi Kung you should use it to
Regulate the Body, the Mind and the Breath. You have natural breathing, reverse breathing,Counting breath and even holding breathing exercises that do different things. Yes it is true about sensing your Chi and learning how to direct it. But in regular stance work you should also learn this. You should be learning this when your punching. Holding Yee Gee Kim Yeung Ma you are envision your Chi in your Dan Tien and learn how to send it through your body to your limbs.
Now I really didn't disagree with what you said. Everything you said is valid. But It was my mistake, The way I took your statement was confrontational instead of informative. So forgive me for that. But my point is true. You need a Sifu to teach you the breath,the movements and the principles and how they are applied. With out it your totally lost. If you have principles from reading books which I have it doesn't matter. I had an book on Chi Kung atleast 3 years before I even started practicing Chi kung. I read the book but I didn't practice it until I had a qualified Sifu who could teach me. Now I have spoken with many people on theories and different knowledge. But my Chinese Sifu in Tai Chi is simplest. He says the key to success is practice. No matter how much theory you have it means nothing unless you practice it. Theory shows you how to use it. But what good is it to know how to use a gun if you don't have a gun? Its useless. First build the gun.
But I think we are missing each other points let me address what I agree with you on first.
Learn how to relax (This should be basic)
Even before I started learning the Chi Kung I learn how to relax. Just from doing the Quasi external parts of Wing Chun. I say so called External because all of Wing Chun is both Internal and External even though some may disagree.
As for Regulating the mind Yes my Sifu told me earlier on When I started practicing Ma From and Sil Lim Tao that I should slow it down. Concentrate on each movement. Feel where the energy is coming from and feel where it is going. Focus on my technique so that intention and energy goes where I focus. etc etc.
As for feeling the area When you first start practing the Stance you are taught to feel the Chi rise. You are taught to feel the Chi in your Dan Tien. Even when you strecth and tell your legs to loosen up. You are projecting your YI (thought) through your legs. Your Yi is your mind. You are sending your Chi through your legs. Your legs relax and you can strecth a little farther. The more you strecth the more Chi can travel through your limbs and your body. By doing various forms and also chi kung you open up meridens and eliminate stagnation.
You disagree with Aggressive Chi. Well Wing Chun is an Aggressive Art. Their is passive Chi and Aggressive Chi. Aggressive Chi doesn't equal bad chi. There is difference. I do not mean negative Chi when I speak of Aggression. But you may have perceived that. But we can agree to disagree.
Chi is energy
Kung is Work or skill acquired by practice.
When ever you do Chi Kung your are working or practicing your chi. You are acquiring skill with your Chi. Be it hard Chi Kung or Soft Chi Kung.
I can simply say it like this. Anything that raises your Testerone level will make a man and woman more aggressive. Doesn't mean violent. But just aggressive. There is always the increase potential in other words.
But please share your principles of Chi Kung?
I never was trying to engage in a debate. I was trying to have a better understanding of what you were saying by the link.
You then spoke about what your teacher said about "Aggressive Qi"
Which I do not find to be true.
You then go on speaking about Kidney breathing and Marrow cleansing which would be considered at least by my standards advance forms.
One of the main reasons why I try to hold back from discussing Qigong online and even when teaching in person.
Do what you want I will comment on things I find to be truthful or practical. Theories are there for a reason. In Qigong if you do not know proper theory you are wasting your time in your cultivation. All the Sects though they may differ on methods they do agree on certain theories and do achieve higher levels you need to know Qigong theory.
You can look thru my past post I wrote a small article on Jing.
Why should I share information with someone who:
And who in another thread spoke ill-will towards my screen name?
