CHI KUNG - Nutrition of inner force. The gist of method is to learn to act without breaking peace, unity and natural breathing. Consolidation of spirit and body is achieved by recurrences to naturalness. This consolidation and health are given to us since birth, our task is to get rid of all the obstacles preventing us from enjoying them. Theoretical basis of the practice completely jump together with the approach to trainings of
Chinese inner Kung Fu schools. Health is beyond everything.
Chi is energy. Kung is craftsmanship. Chi Kung is science of life, how to save and
increase life forces to be healthy and strong. In Chinese tradition chi is a source of force for any substance. Chi is inside and
around us. We are all born with a huge supply of chi energy, but with the lapse of time we spend it. Lack of Chi energy causes diseases. Lots of epochs and civilizations have changed each other but one thing always remains unchanged – people want to
live a long and happy life. The Chinese say Chi Kung cures 100 diseases. Lots of diseases are connected with bad spine permeability.

In Shaolin monastery everybody practices Chi Kung. It’s impossible to grasp one’s body without it. When we practice Chi Kung our body must be relaxed, but heart and spirit must remain in focus, light and conscious. If the body is relaxed, Chi is accumulated in Dan Tyan in the center of the abdomen (belly). When body needs movement, chi moves from the Center towards the course. We use 60% of yin energy and 40% of yan energy. 60% of yin energy is accumulated inside 40% for outer actions. In this proportion we always have enough energy for life and struggle. We save more energy and use it when it is necessary. In our everyday life this balance is broken. As a rule, we use more energy than
we accumulate. It isn’t replenished. Man is tired and falls ill. One must learn to get more of yin energy and thoughtfully spend yan energy to preserve harmonious and happy life. Pelvis is connected with shoulders, knees with elbows, ankles with wrists. This is external form. Heart is connected with mind, mind with stomach. This is inner form. Shifu explained that all movements are performed without effort. South, east,
west and north are one single whole which get together in lower dan tyan. Kung Fu has two types of breath. The first one is relaxed. When you breathe in, the belly is blown like a ball, when you breathe out, your abdomen is retracted. The second one is active breathing. When you breathe in, the belly is blown, when you breathe out it is retracted, anus is tucked in, diaphragm rises, the lips are linked up stiff. “Post” practice. At first we direct attention and energy down to the center of the stomach. We feel our knees lean on the soles, thighs on the knees, breast on the pelvis.
Then we realize three directions of force: stretch the crown of had up, take a firm stand. Assemble the Center.
