What Makes Chi Body Method Unique?

Chi Body Method (a.k.a Xinyi-Dao / 心意道) combines ancient and modern techniques for the cultivation of martial skill, physical health and wellness, and spiritual development. The System’s foundation for training is based on human beings’ pre-natal state of posture and action, that is, the fetus rounded posture in the womb and its contraction and expansion to absorb nourishment via the umbilical cord. This posture and action, in the post-natal human being, becomes the flexion and extension movements of the spine and “dantian breathing.” With patient practice and skilled guidance, the practitioner learns how to recharge his/her own energy by replicating the body’s prenatal energetic dynamic.
Chi Body Method offers a holistic approach for developing a physically strong and agile body, a focused and attentive mind, and a peaceful spirit, all desirable elements for a healthy life. Through practice with proper guidance, the cultivation of prenatal energy (or prenatal qi) increases martial power and enhances mental awareness by charging the body’s core engine (dantian), so that offense and defense becomes instinctual. Physical health improves as the practitioner learns how to circulate qi throughout his/her body, cleaning the blood, massaging the organs, increasing circulation of breath and blood. With dedicated practice, the cultivation of one’s spirit improves quality of life, yields a deeper sense of purpose, and ultimately opens the practitioner to the realization of what it is to be a human being in connection with something greater than oneself.

Chi Body Is Built Based on the Following Chinese Martial Arts Styles, But We Take It To the Next Level of Martial Effectiveness and Internal Power Development!
Qigong & Neigong
Qigong and Neigong focuses on connecting the breath to movement and practicing breathing techniques powered from the Dantian (energy center). We will witness the power of breath to heal, to open up channels of the body allowing for greater energy cultivation, and to build stronger nervous and immune systems. By focusing on and controlling the breath, we can better manage stress, relax more deeply, and practice the natural energetic forces of contraction and expansion within the body.
Alignment & Fascia Activation
Alignment and fascia activation focuses on anatomy, deep fascia stretching, structural alignment, kinetics, and focus of the mind. Specific methods are used to build structural integrity of the skeletal system, tonify the muscles, increase the range of motion of the joints, and in coordination with controlled breathing techniques to engage the fascia or deeper layer of connective tissue that wraps around the body from organs to muscles to blood vessels. Activating and strengthening the fascia helps to achieve whole-body strength and coordination, which enhances endurance, performance, energy, balance, and power of the body from the inside out.
Internal Martial Arts
Internal Martial Arts consist of Taijiquan (Tai Chi), Baguazhang, and Xingyiquan. On the physical level, applying the six harmony movement principles to develop the body’s structural integrity, stability, balance, tendon strength, and power. On the energetic level, using deep abdominal breathing techniques to activate qi and unique neigong (inner alchemy) method to cultivate the Dantian (energy center). The harmonization of the physical and energetic components of the body helps to amplify the power behind martial arts movements and self-defense techniques.
