How Does the West Train Internal?

The consensus seems to be that, YES, western systems do have the very same "internals" as eastern ones, that one will indeed find the same attributes and techniques and practices, the difference simply being the "jargon" that is used.
Truly, if one sees a high level athlete perform their sport one sees all that is "internal": structure, relaxation, alignment, full body union, etc, etc.
It does truly seem to be a case of Tomato/tomahtoe.
I agree.
So...there's lot's of talk here about Chinese (and other 'Eastern') Internal training methods...
How are Internals trained in the 'Western World'? Is it different, similar, what do you think?
Oops, probably should have put this in the internal forum...feel free to move. Thanks.
