I didn't want to assume either way about Kan and Li's background, but perhaps you are right. Hopefully Kan and Li will reply and give me some insight into his/her experience. It was an interesting question, and could develop into a good discussion. I am a "he" for the record,
yes Andrew I was talking about you sorry if I offended you mate that was not my intention.
hi daoist I have done a lot of different martial arts growing up but never stayed in one any longer then a year except mma. I keep practising mma (mainly muay thai) grappling I find is a bit more complex and dont train as much, all though if I wanted to better my ground game a friend from church is happy to help me as he is a lot better than me.
As for a qigong i learnt a bit through different martial arts yang style tai chi chan, tong long and so forth and so forth, but mostly by talking with qigong practitioners, reading books reasoning and experimentation. In the end results are what count.
the reason I ask about how to increase heat in the body is because I believe that heat is chi and cold is the absence of chi like comparing the
sun to deep space. So there for any practice that builds warmth in the body increases your chi.
Also I am sorry about my bad gramma I should of paid more attention in school.
Chi is not heat, or heat is not chi per se. To put it another way, not all forms of heat in this universe are chi, and not all chi is experienced as heat. Chi can also be perceived as cold, light, heavy, sticky, wet, dry (if it is stagnant), and many other sensations.
It is easy to cultivate yang chi. Many kung fu styles do this by practicing the ma bu, or horse stance posture. Later on (several years of practice), the chi becomes more yin as well as yang.
If you really want to learn, settle on a real-life kungfu master (rare) or a real-life chi gong master (even more rare). Trying to learn from a book is like trying to learn from a sifu whom you cannot ask any questions - a bad idea in my view. Masters are hard to find, but you might not have to look too far. Kungfu and Chi gong (or Nei Gong as some older masters like to call it) take a lot of time and dedication to learn. You must be prepared to dedicate yourself.
i know what your saying i just don't agree with all of it
hi daoist i know what your saying i just don't agree with all of it. A greet qigong practitioner once told me there is (one chi) and all types of energy in the universe are this chi in different forms and with my experiece i think this is true it is also backed up in books that i have read on chi, also moden science can be applied to qigong
the gigong practitioner that told about (one chi) had such powerfulll energy that it surge through me and made everthing bright and I felt like I was in harmony with the universe, he look so bright pure and healty it was crazy! he is the only person i have met that is like this and i have met alot of qigong practitioner and master that where no where near as adept
none the less thank you for your perspective daoist
I have use standing practices to and the do build energy especially if they are done long enough, but I use them more for base or being rooted I have found you can just stand there in a natural pose and it has benefits you don’t even have to bend your neas.
