Where Does Chi Energy Come From in Taekwondo, Kenpo, Kung Fu, or any Martial Art?

[I:https://healthclub90.com/storage/2011/08/AlCase0.jpg]Most people don’t have a clue where the chi Energy comes from comes from in Taekwondo, Kenpo, Kung Fu, or any other martial art. That there is chi is plain to see, one just need take note of a real martial artist move to know that he is doing something beyond simple muscles. The problem is that most teachers don’t take the time to explain the exact growth of chi in the martial artist.

The beginner walks into the martial arts dojo, and the first thing he must do is start building his body. Any art, from Taekwondo to Aikido is going to require a body in good condition. Thus, there are calisthenics at the beginning of class, and the arts themselves make the body stronger.

This is the point, unfortunately, at which many people step off the path of the true art. They believe that muscles are the everything, and they start weightlifting, concentrating their training on the body, and they miss the real juice. The real juice is something called the Tan Tien, or the ‘One Point.’

Before I explain about the One Point, let me put forth something about all this. You need muscles, not going to argue that, but you don’t need huge muscles…you just need coordinated muscles. You need to make your muscles work together in any martial arts technique you do.

If the muscles work together, you are able to use all of your energy. This is much more efficient than if you use the muscles individually, which is what training with weights, or other methods, often result in. I call this practice of using all the muscles of the body together ‘Coordinated Body Motion,’ or CBM.

The One Point is located just below the belly button, and it is the body energy center. When one uses this body energy center they must breath from it. No, oxygen doesn’t go to the center, but the deep breathing sets up waves of energy which do, and which translate into the explosive power the tan tien is capable of manifesting.

Now, it is sometimes difficult to locate the tan tien, or learn how to use it in the beginning. A good trick is to place one foot waist high on a wall, then simply swap feet. Within a short time you will feel the necessity to breath deep, to settle the energy down, and use the One Point.

There are other methods of exploring this power, but this is one of the simplest. The good news is that once you start feeling the energy center for the body explode, you will start using it for everything you do; punches, kicks, martial arts blocks, all moves will start to emit from the body center. Try this, and it will only be a short time before you are using that awesome chi power in Karate, Kung Fu, Taekwondo, or any other Martial Art.
