  Internal Arts: NeijiaFAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Neijia differs from other "external" martial arts in that all movement begins deeply within the body, then moves outwards towards the skin.
One positive aspect of beginning the study of a Neijia style is that while a student may not be able to use it as a self-defense art until quite experienced, the health benefits (physical, mental, and emotional) can be realized quickly.
It is said that when a Neijia master thinks that they have mastered their art, their knowledge is already in decline.

 Neijia and Waijia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Neijia practitioners consider that changing the human natural ability is much more important than to increase it.
Consequently, the separation between Neijia and Waijia is not clear, or perhaps it should be stated that the separation is clear from principle but is not clear from the practice of these respective styles.
Neijia and Waijia are two big branches of the Chinese martial arts tree which offer us different ways to study martial arts.

The heart of the "Neijia" or the "internal" martial arts is in the way the body is utilized.
All of the Neijia have exercises outside of a martial-application mode with which to practice this kind of movement.
There are various qigongs which emphasize the style of movement fundamental to the neijia: the Yang-style taiji qigong, the Xingyi neigongs, the Chen style Reeling Silk qigongs, etc. All of these qigongs and all of the internal styles are quite capable of producing "internal strength".

 Formosa Neijia » 2006 » May
Neijia arts have gotten lots of good press for the past hundred years or so for their various alleged benefits.
I haven't clicked on the neijia list archives for a couple of weeks so when I just visited a few minutes ago, I was surprised to see that Kim Holbum, who has been hosting the archives for a few years, will be taking them down soon.
For those that may not know, the Neijia list was the hot discussion list on the net before we had discussion boards like Empty Flower, etc. So the archive is made up of the emails that list members sent each other when discussing neijia subjects.

 Article - Movement in Stillness
Of course, after building a proper foundation, a skilled neijia adept often can move with surprising stealthy speed, hit with startling power, and smoothly change nimbly in relation to his opponent(s).
When watching a high-level neijia master, sometimes it seems as if his optimal body mechanics and tactical mastery of the situation enable him to win even without apparent strength or speed.
However, traditional neijia training even goes so far as to learn to use the mind-intent while one is standing in a stationary upright posture to optimize relaxed body alignments that permit, and even encourage the "flow of qi" fully and completely through the body.

 Martial Arts Planet - Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi Compared   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Just like the extinct style of Neijia Quan, all three styles use Taoist philosophy (as distinct from Taoist religion.) as the foundation of their principles.
From old Neijia Quan to Taiji, Bagua, and Xingyi, all used Taoist philosophy as the foundation of their principles.
From this point, when the skill level of Taiji, Bagua, and Xingyi was developed to a higher level, their practice and application became more similar as they derived from the same general principle.

Storing and releasing practice for basic close is like leaving your hands on the trunk (boot) lid that is only partially latched, pushing from the ground into the lower (or middle) back and then releasing down in conjunction with a severe weight drop (careful not to get involved in shoulder motion).
Since this is a close relative to the powers of the internal martial arts..
That's more in line with the mind-body concepts which is built around the internal arts ideas of whoe-body connection and peng strength.

"Internal" is the commonly used approximation for the Chinese terms Neijia and Neigong.
In recent decades the term Neijia has been reserved strictly for so-called "internal" systems of martial arts, such as Taiji, Xingyi and Bagua.
I believe this is inaccurate, a confusion of Neijia with Neigong.

Kali has long idealized the development of "flow" in one's practice, which includes a significant ability to "read" the opponent's intent and to blend with his motion, especially when weapons are in play at full speed.

 Annotated Peng jin FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
When you approach the training of the neijia with this practical orientation, it's easy to see why people do say peng jing or Taiji is all peng-based.
Of course, if we take this discussion out of the abstract and the academic, it's not going to be exactly accurate because really, if you examine the form, none of the eight postures stand on their own.
Listening and Sensitivity have been interpretted (as has just about everyother term related to the neijia) to mean whatever a particular teacher chooses to mean (all the while believing that his/her intuition is infallible, etc.).

It is during the intermediate levels that you start seeing the effects of the gongs but it won't be until advance stages that you truely connect the two.
What are 'unique' (and I am using this word in the weak sense here) about this neigong basically a combination of breath regulation combined with bodily (as opposed to limb) muscle power brings about a number of differnt kinds of strengths including moving your internal organs.
But the fact is, when one is actually in combat where you are crossing seven or more moves in a second, you are not going to be drawing you power from breath and bodily movements each time.

 Kung Fu Magazine Forums - View Single Post - Nei Jia vs Wai Jia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
My point is that the classification of "Neijia" and "waijia" for styles is basically meaningless.
As I noted, every martial art may have wei cultivation and nei cultivation, but that doesn't mean a weijia has the qualities of a neijia nor vice-versa: "neijia" refers simply to a distinct culture of martial arts, not one which claims to have all the nei cultivation methods.
I'm not sure why this point is so difficult to grasp in the case of the neijia.

FWIW, I have been told that it is the body method that is the common element, and that the strategy and techniques are what create the differences among the big three.
I personally am all down with taking bullshit out of neijia, but I personally believe that to get the real internal out is not as easily definable as all that.
I applaud Tim Cartmell for what he does, and Sigman to a lesser degree not because he's a piece of human offal, and not because what he says doesn't have worth, but because it's just a piece of the picture, not a unifying theory.

Sun Style Taijiquan was originally called opening-closing nimble-step Taijiquan (Kai He Huobu Taijiquan) and was a development of Hao Style Taijiquan which in turn was developed mainly from Yang and Chen Styles.
Sun Lutang is reputed to have improved the effectiveness of the techniques by introducing elements derived from his knowledge of the other Neijia arts that he had mastered but at the same time adhering purely to Taijiquan principles.

Thanks Paul...the Chinese have been studying this since the early 1980s, calling it EHF (Extraordinary Functions of the Human Body) and no, it shouldn't detract from training but to me, indicates a valid By-product of good training.
I will say that starting Qigong and meditation with Zen training thrown in in the 1970s was graduated to XingYi and Ba Gua in the early 80s onward and I'll say that doing good Neijia made the energies "jump" again.
Now, there are some interesting things happening that I can only conclude have 'something' to do with the energy training.
