Any practitioner of Chinese Internal Martial Arts who studies long enough and consistently will eventually arrive at a point of learning some form of power stretching exercises. My understanding of power stretch comes through Lan Shou Masters George Xu, Wu Ji and Ye Xiao Long, as well as Wang Ming Bo and Shou Guan Shun. These masters are from Shanghai. Most study several forms of internal arts and consider power stretching essential for whole-body or one-unit connected, loose, relaxed, spiraling power in all styles. Power stretching is an amazing gift from the Lan Shou System.More about Power StretchingQuote:http://susanamatthews.com/power-stretching.html#powerstretchFour Important Things- Indoor Study with Master George Xu Indoor Study introduces important information for developing power in martial arts. First George focuses on a series of exercises to develop one of the most important skills for martial power he calls three dimensional shrinking /expanding with the energy body. Next, he presents several unique power stretching postures that circle and spiral and, some in particular, develop leg power. Power stretch is important to develop whole-body connectivity. Once the body is connected, the body can use chan shi chin, or spiraling, to move in three dimensions, effectively reducing the enemy’s force to zero. George presents several spiral training exercises also containing shrink/expand quality and the fourth important quality that is center (dantian) energy moving first. Several multidirectional dynamic exercises are presented for developing dantian gong. Master Xu finishes with qigong for gathering earth power, human power, and heaven power and a cool demonstration of four direction striking using all these qualities. This video complements the discussion and applications of these moves found in Master Xu’s Complete Practice. Indoor Study is nearly 40 minutes non-stop workout/practiceMaster Wu Ji Lan Shou Muscle-Tendon Stretching ExercisesThis 35-minute video is a review of stretching exercises that Master Wu Ji taught as part of the Lan Shou system training during China Camp ’07. The exercises are grouped together for easy follow-along learning. Translated by Poh Kheng Loi.Shin Jin Ba Gu, Tendon Stretching and Follow Up Lecture with Wang Ming Bo and Rosalind OliverPower stretching is an integral part of martial arts practice, such as Shaolin Gongfu and Lan Shou Quan. Tendon and bone stretching set is a very effective method of strengthening the connective tissues of the body as well as bones and joints. It is simple set of specific postures each of which incorporates an intensive stretching then relaxing then stretching regimen. You can perform Shin Jin Ba Gu as strenuously as necessary, but to seek and reach for your limits is essential in achieving this exercise’s greatest benefits. An excellent lecture and discussion follows on the principle and usage of the 13 potential energies or forces in Taiji, Xing-yi and other internal martial arts (peng,lu, ji, an, shou, zhong, etc.). Wang and Ms. Oliver demonstrate the importance of training for maximum extension of the body, integrate that with yin-yang in push hands (Tui Shou), and demonstrate its application as a powerful technique for moving an opponent.Master George Xu: The Universal Principle of Yin-Yang in the Practice of Qigong, Baguazhang, and Xingyi BasicsThis 2-DVD set contains qigong, single drills, bagua form, and a comprehensive set of xing-yi single animal forms and variations. You can use each as a standalone training video. He delineates practical applications of the yin-yang principle in depth in Part 1 Lecture Qigong and Taijiquan Basics and Yin-Yang Universal Law introduced by Xu presents numerous concepts that he has not publicized before and in several cases articulates it even more precisely than he has in past sessions. Among these concepts is the yin-yang universal principle that, as Master Xu explains, applies to all forms of martial arts in China. There are 300 styles of martial arts in China whose disciples are searching for secrets and claim that theirs is the “best.” But Master Xu says that for him the taijiquan principle of yin-yang is the one concept that unites them all. The thread that weaves through all internal martial arts is that of yin-yang. If you understand this then you have the answer that many have sought for ages, Master Xu says. The interplay between yin and yang applies to physical and energy including Heavy/Light, Soft/Hard, Full/ Empty, In/Out, Left/Right, Feminine/Masculine, and so on. At the same time, yin is always contained within yang and vice versa and the resultant combined force created is superior. Xu explains yin yang principles in dantien, qigong, spiral force, predator force, and earth power.Disk 2 begins with 12 minutes of Dragon Baguazhang Step-By-Step Form Practice which breaks down the form into 8 sections repeated 3 times each.
