I am currently assisting with a more advanced nei kung improvement class at our tai chi school. It is a deep dive into the 10 exercises that make up our group class and the nei kung system handed down by our Sifu. We drill and correct only one exercise per session, but in a regular class we do all 10 in one hour with the light low. I have been teaching that class for many years. Here are the names of the exercises:
Horse Stance (first 20 minutes or so)
Riding the Wild Horse
Playing Pipa
The Compass
Double Dragons Leap from Sea
Rhinoceros Gazes at Moon
Riding the Tiger
Phoenix Spreads its Wings
Hitting the Tiger
Owl Turns Head
Some may say that there are no short cuts in tai chi development, but this stuff speeds up the process for sure. You just have to be prepared to "eat the bitter" when starting out.
