The Prime

Identify and establish the Center. Calibrate the system by neutralising Gravity. Center of Balance & Center of Mass join in the Center. Disconnect the bones, loosen the joints. Engage & balance the muscles.

The Seal

Ground the Center. Center of Balance remains in the Center, Center of Mass drops with gravity. Load the system with the pull of Gravity. Reconnect the bones, engage and balance the fascia. Seal the system without protrusions or leaks.

Strength & Resilience

INWARD Kungfu is based on Chinese Internal Martial Arts (CIMA) training. INWARD Kungfu develops what is known in the scene as ‘internal’ or ‘whole body’ power. It is a type of strength that you cannot see, that is not based on muscle size, but rather on skilfully deploying the entire body as one unit, including the skeletal structure. We will name this ‘Neutral Power’. This strength lasts beyond the age of your physical prime. To achieve this ‘Neutral Power’ one first has to configure the body in a very specific way, into the ‘internal body’ or what we call ‘The Neutral Body’. This is the key to this type of power. INWARD Kungfu teaches you how to configure the body correctly, so you yourself may learn to apply this different type of power. As a side effect of this training you will develop an overcapacity which drastically improves your professional, relationship, martial arts and life skills. INWARD Kungfu clearly explains the nitty gritty of ‘internal power’ as demonstrated in Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) and Yiquan (Yi Chuan) in plain modern English.
