“To talk about internal martial arts Nei jia quan. As implied by the name, the word internal stands for your inner thoughts. One brief explanation of internal martial arts is the high-level combination of your physical and mental world. It guides people to balance the body and the mind. In China, there are three kinds of Kung Fu that can achieve such a goal: Taiji Fist, Xingyi Fist and Baguazhang. All of these come from Chinese tradition, which you can judge from their names. Xingyi Fist is also called Five Element Boxing, connected with Chinese culture, too. Besides the names, the profound meaning of internal martial arts also relate to Chinese ancient medicine and the ancient conception of regimen, a set of rules about food and exercise that you follow in order to stay healthy. This is why we call it internal martial arts.”
