How to Build Internal Power

You can’t get it by doing crunches or lifting weights in the gym.

Internal power is not about strength or size and without it there is no Tai Chi Chuan. Just empty choreography.

Internal Power is about using your body in ways that are smart. Really smart.

It’s about deep relaxation, advanced body mechanics & breath-work. It’s about knowing your opponent’s body and mind better than he does.

This guide contains 3 parts:

1. 10 minute guide to Clear’s Internal Power Training
2. Build Deep Root
3. Qi Development for Health & Combat
