Some Chinese man also said so, many time... "Woman who fly upside down have cracky up."

Tai Chi is all about unification, not separation.

Since internal work is unification of the body (and mind) to use as little force as necessary to get the job done, then yes, many people already practice internal work - it may not be martially oriented, but it is most definitely internal.

Well.. The classics says that you need to clearly distinguish yin from yang, empty from full. First you need to separate things into clear opposites, first then you know what to unify and how.

this smoothness is qi. so anyone who thinks that qi does not exist should just go watch someone who is smooth
everywhere and try to explain it any other way. The qi penetrates the movement, joins to it, reinforces it.
Sooner or later all movement seems to be hydraulically powered by the qi itself and very little of anything else remains.

P.S. That's my view, your entitled to yours.
