Learn The Martial Art of Speed and Power you need to Enhance Your Skills. When it comes to punching and kicking, one must understand structure, relaxation, and internal coordination before any intention to move or strike can be delivered with the kind of authentic speed and power you need to feel like a real martial artist! 5. Learn the Internal Dragon Gongfu - Applications Forms. Traditionally, Tai Chi Form-Work provides only a "tip of the iceberg" look at what's really possible in terms of movement, power, and application. This leaves it up to each martial artist to find and/or develop a more explicit system to work through and catalog useful applications. Even then, a thorough understanding of simple and powerful principles will continue to produce more and more effective applications not explicit in the updated system. Nate's personal system for working through and cataloging useful applications is yielding three Internal Gongfu forms that he calls. 1) Pushing Dragon, 2) Swimming Dragon, and 3) Fighting Dragon. In Chinese folklore, the Dragon has the magic ability to take any form that it needs. In this system of Internal Dragon Gongfu, any form, system, and/or approach that aligns with the body and mind's design for movement and power can be used when needed. 6. Learn the Quick and Powerful Art of Tai Chi Running. "Fa-Jing is Tai Chi's ancient art of relaxed, spring-like, power transmission, and it's one of the internal secrets that makes Tai Chi Running so powerful and unique!" Like a Cheetah, Tai Chi Running's unique internal approach allows you to enjoy a relaxed sense of high performance speed and power using longer strides while still avoiding unwanted heel strike! Discover The Hidden Secret Power! Like most popular natural running styles, Tai Chi Running aims to focus your relaxed posture, tilted vertical axis, and the power of gravity into a mid-foot strike just behind your powerful body's center of balance. However, with Tai Chi Running there is an additional hidden secret component called Fa-Jing! Fa-Jing is Tai Chi's ancient art of relaxed, spring-like, power transmission, and it's one of the internal secrets that makes Tai Chi Running so powerful and unique! "Explore this internal approach to natural running as you learn to run with perfect posture, a tilted vertical axis, a midfoot strike, and tons of relaxed power!" ~n. Tai Chi Running offers a simple and powerful way to align with the inspiring design of your incredible body and mind! Once you have proper technique, you can have the amazing ability to boost safety and performance exponentially! While this simple technique can be explained easily within a five minute video, or within a few simple paragraphs of text, there is a very good reason why proper Tai Chi running technique tends to elude most runners who aim to learn it. The truth is that proper Tai Chi Running technique only requires a runner to relax, align, and function within their own natural design to move with ease, fluidity, power, and grace. However, I've been teaching Tai Chi long enough to know that even the most ambitious athletes will need to practice and practice (and practice) if they aim to develop this deeper level of internal coordination. The good news is that I've discovered a handful of simple training exercises that can give you power to speed up the learning process. While it's true that the aim to achieve this worthwhile goal tends to require a lion's share of serious practice and dedication, looking back I think you'll agree the payoff is well worth it! This is definitely one area where cross training with Tai Chi or Qigong can really pay off for high performance runners and athletes! To be clear and respectful, it should be noted without any particular judgment that this simple, natural, and powerful running method is the result of many years of internal Tai Chi training and is not the running style, approach, or teaching method taught by Danny Dreyer.
