Lai See,
Pak Mei releases energy via the internal. The HHBB posture, due to pulling in of the stomach brings the organs close to the spine, as we use the spine to relay and magnify the energy. Now the spine pulls energy from the a)organs b) dan tian? I have heard both! Which is right and which is wrong, thats for you to decide as I've come to my own reality. Also, it helps to mention that the posture activates an internal pump, of which it is said that we have three. Which internal pump does it activate?
Now, I understand that PM is an internal/external art and I present no arguement to that, but to say that PM has internal development like an internal art is wrong.
In order to fully develope your internal you needs meds. Its like trying to develope sticky hands without some type of chi sao or just doing chi sao to the air.
Understand, that the principles that govern PM is nothing new. All styles of southern mantis follow the same principles as PM, yet they have chi gung. Shhhh, Tai Chi shares some principles with PM and they have chi gungs.
Again, I'm not saying that PM has no internal. What I am saying, is that from my experience PM lacks on internal developement. Also, to consider Jik Bo as a chi gung is not 100% correct.
How many Iron palm methods does your school train? Does your school train iron jacket or does it go beyond that?
