The health benefits of IMA comes from using them and practice them as martial arts systems, not by turning them into qigong.
For me it is "just do it" as in: just practice and do it martially. However the "inner workings" can be described through educated means. As a student of acupuncture and former massage therapist, the different systems within it, I'm just seeing how the qigong and the physical parts can be explained using the TCM and western medical terms. It essence, it really does not matter, the
skill sets derived from good gong fu training do.
