The Wu Chi stance is the beginning of a process of self mastery known as internal martial arts. This kind of internal awareness process is c
Website: www.shapeshiftersden.comommon to martial arts and movement arts from around the world including chi kung (qi gong), kung fu, budo, boabom, yoga, tai chi, and many others.
It eventually becomes a necessity on the path to any kind of movement mastery and by extension any kind of mastery of self action.
The Dan tien (tan tien as well as other spellings) is the body's center of mass and so much more. A personal awareness of it within the body will spring board movement efficiency by giving the student of movement a simple way to integrate the movements of the entire body into powerful, focused action. - Sport
I love how you explained! I am also a movement teacher with background in martial arts, boxing, kickboxing. I practiced external martial arts when I was a kid and started practicing internal martial arts in my 30s. I now appreciate so many aspects of internal martial arts now. love the practice of bringing attention and awareness into own body and moving and paying attention to quality of movement so I can learn to refine my movement, which is a life long learning process.
There are two basic 2-stroke (in/out) breathing modes: belly and chest. Belly breathing promotes the steady build up of yin energy, while chest breathing generates yang energy immediately available for taking action.
Various combinations of these two basic modes of breathing allows regulation of the balance between yin and yang energies within the body. The simplest "4-stroke" breathing mode is: inhale-belly, compress-chest, exhale-belly, relax-chest. The belly fills the lungs the majority of the way full, then the chest takes over until the lungs are at capacity. Keeping the throat sealed with the back of the tongue so that no air escapes, use the diaphragm and abdominal muscles to compress the air in the lungs. Then after the energy and pressure peak and begin to fall off, release the diaphram (belly) and allow the energy remaining compressed in the chest to expel all the exhausted air from your lungs. Then just let the chest relax as the newly acquired breath energy sinks down into the dan tian, where it must either be accepted and stored or used immediately for qigong. Once excess energy becomes stored within the dan tian or any of the other energy centers, it must quickly be used directly or transmuted into some other form of qi otherwise the energy can become tangled and knotted, potentially creating qi blockages and other nasty psychophysiological maladies if left unattended.
this is also a pranayama exercise known as the dirga pranayama
Cultivation novels did introduce me to new things
Same

From this one video alone I'm subscribing. I've practiced internal arts for a few years now and this was one of the most intuitive an concise videos I've seen in a year's. 🙏
I really appreciate you telling people about wuji it's one of the most important practices and was kept a secret Yang chengfu only showed it to a handful of his students the next being Central equilibrium
Great video, I used to go to a chi kung class, pretty much all I retained in terms of practice is the Wu Chi - this was a great refresher. Love the diagrams and animations.
Thank you, sir.
Always bringing amazing content! 💯🔥
This video was produced by a true renaissance man. 💎
Awesome Artwork, Thanks for reviewing and sharing your knowledge with the world. Keep up the great work!
Very good explanation of the Dan tien , the sacrum and wu chi standing exercise.
Awesome =D! I was playing with chi a while ago during running. I felt like I could endure more the sprint without tiring fast, when focused chi in the lower chakras.
Clear and concise method of centering yourself....practical. Thanks
Very easy instructions, engaging video, awesome drawings and you have an amazing voice!!! Could listen to you for hours😁
Nice contribution of knowledge. Thanks for sharing!
Great video thanks! It's an affirmation around some of the things I've been playing with.
This pose is what we actually practiced in wing Chun's basic stance.. Keep it up and Thnx for the video.

Glad you like it! More coming soon, be sure to check back.
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
Another good video , is amazing that you draw all that
Thank you! Very informative.
really good explanation. Thanks for sharing :)
Wonderful video and explanation!
Thanks for these videos
There great!
glad you made this video, thank you so much
I just subscribed! What a awesome channel.
Me too 🙂
Great video thank you 🙏
I used to train the Wu chi stance when I was a teenager, the first few times you do it itwill be extremely painful.
I watched all of your videos and let me tell you that I feel this is gonna be a huge channel. I have a channel myself and if you could upload as frequent as possible if quality mantainned is the best thing to do for your channel. Of course, 100% subscribed
Thank you for the advice! Got more videos coming shortly, and I can't wait.. Checked out your channel, really have some good info on there. Great content
MuEnViFitness still not a big channel my dude
Looking forward to giving this a try ☺️
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cousin got excellent success with it.
Great content I love such things like be focused on your center and stuff. I believe you can beat anyone with that skill.
It certainly creates a whole new level of movement proficiency thats hard to understand without this training. When I practiced this kind of training as a boxer I noticed the control of my body become seemingly effortless. An incredibly valuable tool for any fighter, mover, or anyone really.
Keep dreaming!
Awesome! Thank You. My whole spirit is Asian, yet I was born Native American 🙂 Interestingly enough. I am very attracted to Asian men, both of my doctors are from China and I am learning to speak Mandarin on my own ... I took Karate as a young teen and practice Zen, I need to be born o all over again and get my nationality right😳😎 Thanks for the vid. U Rock !
Interesting stuff!
Thank you. Congratulations...
This video is treasure
wow, I really like it, its body + mental (spiritual fitness)
Kudos for the Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Zenatthew Planning Paradoxal (search on google)? It is a great exclusive product for building your Chi energy without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate at very last got amazing success with it.
I love the art.
great video thank you

Stretch the hip flexors and get a foam roller to massage them out. It'll be painful at first but that's how I cured my sciatica.

I like this video.
Thank you =)))
Chi/Qi Can't be seen, but can be felt. Meditate breathing in and out while moving ur had wide and back in. You'll feel heat on your palms. And sometime you'll feel something move through your body. I like this feeling because it feel good.
I am unable to explain the events that happened to me. I was channeling energy like "Goku" I could feel the power everywhere on my body. Then after that I was stretching in ways I have neve before. I felt like a I was boneless. 🤔 it's all definitely within.
This is very common in eastern yoga, "kundalini" awakenening, giving you deeper acces to yourself
I know exactly what you’re talking about
I wanna be at YuanYing stage.
Not even Lao Tzu can do that for you...
Why always Lao Tzu? Can't they fucking use Confuscious? He's ancient and wise too wtf...
why are most comments here are mostly the same abt Zenatthew Planning Paradoxal Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi and all of say to search it up and abt their cousin brother coworker etc having benefits in like why so many ads dawg!! great video tho keep up the good work!

Hey there, you are crazy inspirational and I love your unique perspectives. It's hard to find someone as creative at explaining this stuff like you do. Just wanted to let you know that I recently made a great presentation called "Our Scientific, Spiritual World" which is here on CZcams as well, and I talk a lot about energy and meditation and much more, but what I thought you might like to hear was how I realized that the lower dan tian is most likely the southern electromagnetic pole of our body's Torus-field. There's some other great findings that are completely original as well, but what inspired me to investigate deeper, was watching some of your videos, so thank you so much, and keep up the great work! Would love to see what you think about mine if you ever get time, and are curious, but all good if not. Keep em coming!
hi ive been practicing this for a short while and i notice my limbs arms and legs move effortlesly when i walk almost like walking on air. i do feel discomfort in the hands, like a really heavy fuzzy sensation is this normal. i never found that link you mentioned about the book in this vid. would appreciate if you could post it in the reply to this message. great vid keep up the good work.
Umran Mushtaq, here is the link to the book amzn.to/2H0rbWq .
The feelings you are talking about are very normal. I get the same thing often, especially in the beginning. Two things are likely happening, the first is an increase in embodiment, basically by quieting the mind and bringing your awareness to your body you begin to "inhabit" more of your nervous system. Your awareness isn't wasted on producing words inside your head and instead your conscious awareness spreads throughout your nervous system. Second is an increase in blood flow and oxygen utilization due to the inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system and the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. This isn't the case with everyone but modern life tends to keep the sympathetic nervous system over active, and when its finally calmed down a lot of internal inflammation goes away and blood flow returns to the extremities. This is often experienced as a tingling feeling as dormant nerve cells seem to "come back online". Hope this helps, keep up the good work my friend.
liked the video, however you spelled instrument wrong
The power of wu is real it works takes a lot training I'm a master to the power of wu and chi it's all in the mind
lovely illustrations.. did u make them yourself?
Glad you enjoyed them, and yep its all a one man show.
ShapeShifters Den wow. good work. well done
This is like Zhan Zhuang stance but I practice it with arms in holding the ball position
There are many ZZ positions. Holding the ball is the best known. Wu chi is also a ZZ position, and also the initial stance for tai chi. A good book on ZZ is Inside Zhan Zhuang by Mark Cohen. IMO this video's idea is totally consistent with ZZ practice - both are journeys of self discovery/realization/development/...
@@rpullman
Thanks Robert. I know the Mark Cohen book. I mean I am aware of it but have not read it.

@@wallybingbang4350 Mark Cohen has lineage and 50+ years experience. His teachers studied under Wang Xiangzhai, founder of zhan zhuang. His book covers a lot of physiology and philosophy as well as the specifics of zhan zhuang.

My sacrem or however you spell and my hips are slightly damaged. Accident. My hip is out of joint and I feel pain ever minute of the day.
Can I still achieve this ? Will it still work?
it is to be noted it is but one way, there are more ways to achieve more energy and better functionality. If your sacrum is damaged, martial arts would be quite tough for you But it is not be said it wont heal, achieving this stance is quite good for many purposes but not entirely required. What you need is unrestricted supply of breathe flowing freely through body. Simple Tan-tien or Dan tien breathing slow and steady is what might get you started. Perhaps a few bit of pranayama, it can be done while lying down or sitting. Sitting with spine erect gives best results but if you are in pain lying down is fine.
Believe it or not, I was downright weak to the core before but just through casually doing pranayama and dantien breathing entire body became good as new. With meditation afterwards added my entire nervous system was renewed. I did gym, running and all that jazz before but nothing worked, I get tired and fucked up in 2 rounds which was sad and embarrassing after nervous system got cleaned up, 3-4 Chronic problems which I almost didn't even knew about just were kicked out of the body. It was a amazing experience. After that I became sure that most of people's problems can be solved just by breathing and eating right. Just by attaining that suddenly you become more energetic and cant stop moving your body.
It is not neccesary to follow exact postures, Find the core of the practice and understand the implications of the postures. Chinese do their meditation standing up because it is much easier to ground that way, very good for improving health, balance and improving martial arts. Indians do yoga to stretch their bodies first gently and create a painless posture which they can take for hours to meditate and by allowing meditation to take over, health is just a side effect, what you can experience is tremendous. It is but for one to decide what suits him best but only your effort and dilligence will pay off.
So, basically martial arts... What a great insight into how perform a punch...
good presentation you also want to read the Alchemy of sexual energy by ManTech tea it will help guide as far as spinning the wheel of your Dan Tien
I'm moved by the authenticity and depth of this content. A book with parallel ideas had a transformative impact on my understanding. "Rising From Within: Unlocking Your Innate Power to Conquer Adversity" by Vincent Starling
I'll check it out, I'm always interested in a good read. Thank you for sharing
Is deep belly breathing (diaphragma breathing) and Dan tien the same thing?
yeah
Once you are in relaxed position, your body will bring you to the neutral position (balance)
Andt that's how you beocme a cultivator
can I turn into an immortal after goinf to emperor jade realm?
this is good stuff, but you're missing the important part of wu chi.
Wu chi is focusing the yi on a void, everything in this video ccan be done after wu chi.
He's a movement specialist. There are so many aspects. Not all can be covered in one video. He tries to be well rounded and does a really good job in my opinion. Maybe you can make a video covering that aspect you care about the most. I would tune in 👍
@@Dragonfly3111 ok I'll do a video of the method I use. I wrote a rambling blog post on my website trying to explain it a while ago, the link is in my profile.
“Use Yi instead of Li. The brain is chaotic before the beginning movement; Then, as one enters into the state of Wuji, the mind doesn’t think, the ears don’t hear, and the eyes don’t see. One must be extremely calm before creating any movement”

My gf doesn't believe I use to do it , she was throwing punches at me and I was laughing after I blocked most of her punches , one nicked my check and I was still laughing . She got so agro , I think it was more frustration than anything because she couldn't hit me for shit lol . I did it for about 3 years and it yes it does work in street fights , but I mix it up with kick boxing . My sefu showed me how to kill someone a few times also lol
Lol
@@moversodyssey So wish I was still doing it , I was so cut back then . And happy with myself . Moved to Auckland city and it's been nothing but booze and drugs . Trying to get sober now and fit again . Need to find some other Art around here I guess . But don't really like socializing at 44 so much . Probably from all the paranoia built up over the years . I use to be able to do 300 tiger push ups and 300 push ups back then . Most people I walked past on the street would avoid me at all costs rofl . I looking like I didn't back then . Arms are like tooth picks these days and a bit of a belly rofl . The horse stance is so brutal when you stand there and just crouch with your palms facing you and arms out in front of you holding them on an angle . Start shaking in like 2 minutes of that shit .
@@mehDOGIESRATS2222 Sometimes it's a long road back, but if you've been there once you can get there again. I've come back after long layoffs with nothing but some pushups, pull ups, horse stance and glute bridges, like a prison style workout. lol. Best of luck on your journey
