Does internal force really exist in Chinese history? If so, let’s speculate on the lethality of internal force to aircraft carriers.

You must know that the internal force referred to in martial arts is not what is referred to in physics.

The force originates from the ground, transfers to the waist, and then is released. This is the simplest description of Fa Jin. Internal force is a unique force-generating technique in Chinese martial arts. It is the most energy-saving method and is the result of a high degree of unity and coordination of the body. Internal martial arts are used in the best way.

The concept of "internal strength" comes from the "internal strength" in traditional martial arts.

"Jin" is relative to "force" (original force, clumsy force). Everyone has "strength", varying in size and strength, while "jin" requires long-term and rigorous training. There is a vivid metaphor, "jin" is like the energy of a tiger when it comes out of the water and shakes off the water. Therefore, there are "internal strength" and "external force".

To put it simply, "internal strength" is the force exerted by the whole body on the basis of a high degree of coordination, so that this force from the whole body passes through each joint without any loss, and then is emitted from a certain point. People who have not been trained in "inner strength" can only attack through "force". "Strength" is local. Even if a person is very strong, he will be vulnerable to "jin".

Bruce Lee once called internal force exercises "flowing energy." This energy (internal force) is generated from the Dantian, not from the shoulders. To do this, we can assume that the internal force is "water" and that the water is sent out from the Dantian and flows in the two arms equivalent to water pipes. In this way, the front end of the arm will become heavy and powerful, and at the same time, the palm needs to be kept stretched and relaxed, and it feels as if water is about to gush out from the fist surface. Moreover, this movement may seem like the arms are a little weak, but in fact it is very powerful, because it exercises the inner strength of the human body, which cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Internal force, that is, Qigong. is real. But it is not as exaggerated as what is written in the novel. Some qigong can really hurt people. There is no doubt about this. The essence of 'Qi' measured with instruments is electromagnetic waves, that is, high-energy matter. However, practicing qigong is also very boring. If you are interested, you can search on Baidu Qigong Movement Method

There is also explosive power. Explosive power, as the name suggests, is the power generated in an instant. It can be simply understood as a force generated by the rapid contraction of joints and muscles.

Qi Even many Chinese people don’t believe in Qi, mainly because they have never seen it. Of course, Qi is something invisible, and I haven’t seen it, but I have experienced it myself. Its existence is also certain. Even Chinese medicine has many theories about qi and blood.

Let’s talk about the theory of gong. Each school's internal strength theory is different, which means that each school's inner strength mental method is different. There are many martial arts schools in China. Internal medicine includes Tai Chi, Baji, Xingyi, Bagua, etc. No matter which discipline, there is a so-called "Qi Fist". Each move must be still for a long time. This is the practice of internal strength. In jargon, it’s called “pile work.” The primary level of Zhuang Gong is just to experience Qi. For example, in a certain posture, you have to feel the hot Qi spreading upward from your feet to your waist. If you have this feeling, it means you have practiced correctly; if you don't, it means you have practiced incorrectly. When you are familiar with the movement of internal force, you can practice more advanced pile skills. At this time, the mental methods of various schools will be involved. How to guide and control your inner strength and make it run in the body.

The highest state of internal strength is called "body knowledge", which means "the body itself knows the movement of qi". To put it a little more "wuxia", it is called "opening up the two channels of Ren and Du". This statement is not unreasonable. Anyone who studies traditional Chinese medicine has learned about acupuncture points, and there is also a mantra that talks about the order and time of the movement of qi and blood in the human body. Which internal organs circulate at midnight, which internal organs circulate at noon... There are exactly 12 hours in a day when the whole body circulates. This is a Zhoutian (Xiantian Great Zhoutian). This week is one that humans are born to keep running. If a person who practices internal strength controls his internal strength to move quickly in his body, and takes an hour to complete the operation that should be completed in a day, can he still be the same as a normal person? And this Zhoutian (the Zhoutian the day after tomorrow) is divided into two types, one is the Great Zhoutian and the other is the Small Zhoutian. Xiao Zhou Tian means to control Qi and blood to only go around the two Ren and Du meridians (the Baihui point on the top of the head and the Huiyin point on the crotch at the top. The central line in the front of the body is the Ren meridian, and the central line in the back of the body is the Du meridian), and the speed is fast. But the growth of gong is slow. Da Zhoutian refers to controlling the flow of Qi and blood around all the meridians of the body, which increases gong quickly but slowly. This level of inner strength cultivation can only be achieved by people with "body knowledge".

People who have reached "body" really give people an unfathomable feeling. There was a Tai Chi master (deceased) who was more than 1.6 meters tall. During his lifetime (he was over 80 years old at the time), he was sitting on a wicker chair. A strong man 1.9 meters tall pressed his arms with both hands and exerted all his strength. Hold him down. The old man just shouted loudly and used his internal force to push the strong man out more than 2 meters away. This is the power of "body awareness".

In addition, there is also a kind of internal strength that is not meant to hit people. There is a kind of Kung Fu among the Wudang sect called "Hanshu Iron Clothes", which was created by Zhang Sanfeng. Practicing this Kung Fu can make people not afraid of cold and heat, and can travel around the world wearing only single clothes at all times. This kind of internal strength not only involves the theories mentioned above, but also refers to Taoism's unique cosmology and health theory. I won’t go into details here. But again, internal strength also has its limits. To put it bluntly, internal strength is also a science related to the human body. Reluctant to go beyond physiological limits. It is absolutely impossible for a cold and hot iron clother to go to Antarctica for scientific research wearing only a pair of shorts. The physical body cannot stop a bullet. Internal force can at most create a hole in the iron plate of an aircraft carrier.
