Internal power is more than simple force; it is rather a relaxed, fluid explosively issuing energy that can be done with any part of the body: the fist, palm, elbow, shoulder, knee, or foot, can make contact with an opponent to strike and/or throw. Along with developing sensitivity, neutralization and redirecting skills, a practitioner is always seeking martial efficiency and to be capable of using powerful aggressive striking movements.
These applications with their explosive energy or Fa Li (Fa Jin) training will greatly enhance and develop one’s fighting skills and abilities that can be used practically. Taking out the difficult choreography of Chen style tai ji quan, Master Zhu Tian Cai, from the Chen Village, refined, developed, and taught Chen Zhao Kui’s old training methods, to help practitioners to enhance their internal power training along with accuracy, speed and timing. Master Zhu’s short routine can be divided into individual sections for training, or learned as a short form to practice.
