It's easy to grow Internal Chi Power, no matter what style of Karate you practice. The problem is that there are so few accurate descriptions--we are lacking instructions, you see--that very few people ever make the simple connections.
Now, I read the existing instructions, mostly Chinese, a few Japanese, and I couldn't get it. But I kept coming across this thing called 'Moving the body as one unit,' and I tried to put it to work.
Unfortunately, it being an alien concept, I screwed up a few times, but I finally formalized the procedure. I call this procedure CBM, or Coordinated Body Motion.
1) Start moving all body parts at the same time.
2) Stop moving all body parts at the same time.
3) Synchronize motion of the body parts involved in any movement, taking into account the length of the limb, the amount of weight, the musculature involved, and so on.
Now, there's more, but it all started with getting these three things down. Once they were down, I was growing internal energy. The unfortunate problem was...I didn't know it.
Internal energy, when you don't know what you are doing, grows slowly. Fortunately, once you know what you are doing, it can grow at a much faster rate.
So, after a couple of years of following and refining the three steps I have given you here, a guy showed me a spinning kick out of the art of TaeKwonDo. I liked the kick, but it was not good for combat, so I changed it. I stood in a horse stance, swapped feet, and launched the back foot in a 'spinning' horse stance.
Actually, it was more of a 'pop hop' kick, but you don't see the hop part of the kick because you move fast and keep the head motionless in space.
Zingo Bingo, internal energy exploded from the tan tien, and brother...I FELT IT COME OUT!
Of course I had a couple of years of internal energy stored up from doing the old Kata, that helped--grin--but the explosion was just as the old Asian martial arts books had described...with one difference.
The Internal chi energy descriptions came from Tai Chi Chuan, or Aikido, or Wudan based arts, and the descriptions described a slower pace, a slower emitting of energy. So, while the descriptions were accurate, they tended to be confusing.
Here are the real instructions to help you grow some real Martial Arts Chi.
1) Do your Forms.
2) Use your body with the principles of CBM.
3) Grow patience.
It's like cooking, sometimes you have to sit watch the veggies simmer. But, following the instructions above, you shouldn't have to wait as long, and you can apply these directions Karate style chi power, or Gung fu, or any other type of martial art.
