Research Methodology in Internal Martial Arts
Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2020 10:01 am
This post is looking for suggestion in doing research in Internal Martial Arts from the perspective of sport science since no result is found in google search for Research Methodology in Internal Martial Arts with quotes nor Research Methods in Internal Martial Arts with quotes on 20th November 2020, 16:00 GMT. Maybe this post is breaking new ground in doing research. The definition of Internal Martial Arts forum has the title of Xingyiquan-Beguzhang-Taijiquan [for] discussion on the three big Chinese internals, Yiquan, Bajiquan, Piguazhang and other similar styles. It sounded a bit contradictory but is acceptable by most forum members. Do we have a working definition for Internal Martial Arts?
This is one example of a definition of Chinese Internal Martial Arts:
“The Chinese internal martial arts of Tai Chi Chuan, Hsing Yi Chuan and Pa Kua Chang are sister arts philosophically built upon Taoist foundations. They have been practiced in mainland China for hundreds of years, building a reputation as superb health practices and self-defence methods. Although the physical approaches to self-defence and expression of power differ, all three arts devote a major part of training on solo posture work, both static and dynamic, where different postures are performed in a slow, flowing and meditative manner. “ (Antoine Camilleri, Horizons University, Paris, France, 2018)

Please comment, as there are many areas of interest just on the definition alone before going on to further discussion on the topic of this post.
