Baji Internal Hun Yuan Zhuang

Probably the first "internal" exercise I ever learned when starting to study any of the Wutan(g) martial arts from Liu Yunqiao line.

This clip provided the subtitles in Chinese as to what Liu is saying. He indicates that this is to be done after you have completed your workout - He says that this is what Li Shuwen did and of course, that is where he learned it from - there are other similar exercises as part of Liu's bajiquan curriculum - a lot of this has to do with breath work and relaxation and the natural development of reverse breathing.

Fascinating, and strengthens the argument that zhan zhuang was an integral part of internal arts practice well before the invention of Yiquan....Do you know if this practice is also done in other Baji lines?

I am unaware of its use in other lines - we also referred to it as "Eating the Sun" as we were told to practice it facing the East in the mornings and in the West in the evening - free vitamin D LOL

Hu Yaozhen was a central figure in this Hun Yuan "Concept" but I understand that he "unified" the prior teachings of other masters in the era of "getting rid of hte old" and "Bringing in the New" CCP re-education banner!
Jiao Guorui was another master who bridged the old and the new and how a few CMA systems incorporated this Hun Yuan concept into their training/conditioning

Thanks - a "little secret" - this exercise gently develops reverse breathing
