I. Nei Kung is internal chi kung.
Chi is the Taoist word for the primal energy of Nature which permeates all of reality and is the same vital life force within each of us. Long ago the great sages of China sought to cultivate chi in all of its manifestations. Kung means "training". Hence, chi kung is a generic term roughly translated as "energy training".
The desire to cultivate chi led to the evolution of three great classifications of chi kung: medical, spiritual and martial art. Medical chi kung promotes health and well being and is the most commonly known. Spiritual chi kung endeavors to develop the chi in order to access higher esoteric planes of the Self. Martial art chi kung focuses on mastering the dynamics of chi as a means of self-defense.
Nei Kung is a little known system of martial art chi kung which is internal in its comprehensive integration and conditioning of the structural elements of the body, while simultaneously creating a massive internal storehouse of chi as the primary source of energy and stamina. Nei means "internal". Nei Kung translates as "internal training", but due to its purpose, principles and practice it is euphemistically referred to as "internal chi kung".
