Chi Power through Six Simple Steps!

Well, it was quite famous, a couple millennium ago, when immortals walked the earth and chi power was common. Of course, things aren’t so fantastic in these modern times. Of course, if one understood that one could have the intrinsic power of chi in six easy steps, then things might go back to the way they were.

The first step in this sequence isn’t a step at all, it is a lack of knowledge. This is when a person doesn’t use his hips at all in a technique. Oddly, one can see the lack of knowledge because the student has a bad case of butt wiggle when he lunges forward and does a front punch.

When I found the traditional karate of Kwon Bop I found out how to slam the hips into a strike. We would stand in place and pivot front stances, slamming the hips, as a regular part of our training. This put the weight of the body into the technique, and built really usable power.

The third step came when I realized that I could just move the hips into the motion without slamming them. This was a subtle motion, sometimes nothing more than an in and out of alignment movement, but it worked, was efficient, and was my first step into what we call internal power. This motion, developed in classical karate such as isshin ryu, is often called hip vibration.

The fourth step in my learning curve was when I realized that you could roll the whole body like a pipe half filled with sand. The purpose was to make all the sand on the inside of the pipe collide with the side or end of the pipe at the same moment one struck an opponent. I was heavily involved in building internal power now, and one can see this type of movement in properly done forms such as seisan.

The fifth step I realized after I had played Tai Chi for a number of years. Instead of slamming the hips, or rolling the arm or body like a pipe, I simply moved the body or body part in a subtle motion so that the tan tien was like a cup of liquid, and the internal energy was sloshing on the inside of the cup. This caused energy to swell up inside the body, and this energy could be used in martial techniques.

The power of the fifth step can be used when one learns to release themselves. People always hold back a little, obviously not wanting to hurt somebody, but, not so obviously, withholding their chi power. The sixth step is to learn to relax enough that you don’t hold yourself back, and then the energy you have cultivated by the previous methods becomes real and can be manifested.

In conclusion, the path may sometimes appear lengthy, but once you understand the pieces, it doesn’t have to be. The problem is that many martial arts don’t present all the pieces, and one must study a variety of martial arts to get everything, and this sometimes leads to seeming contradictions. Still, it is possible to learn how to develop and manifest internal power quickly and easily if one chooses the right technology.
