Cheng Ming Internal kung fu.
comprises the nei chia, the internal side of Chinese Kung fu, Tai Chi, Hsing-I and Ba kua. They are practiced softly with emphasis on building health, chi and self defence. Emphasis is placed on Chi development and movement using inner Chi rather than external muscular force. Movements are practiced naturally as opposed to the forced movement of external arts. Cheng ming also has 5 sets of Chi kung relating to 5 elements, 8 vessels, 12 meridians etc.
Cheng Ming originates from the Zhong Nan mountains in China, Daoist martial arts that are reputedly older than the shaolin system.
Who can practice Cheng Ming? : Anyone of any age who has a little perserverance and patience. Cheng Ming has just as many students who practice purely for health as students who pursue hard core martial arts.
