This version follows the original published illustrations (feet together) of Yearning K.Chen (Chen Yanlin / Chen kung). For many in Tai Chi circles it was considered to be one of the closely guarded secrets, but it is hidden in full view and the theory is very simple. Historically, it was a martial Qi Gong breathing set which was later revised into a more ‘On message’ health based set. This edition discusses both approaches.
If you practise the 14 Postures as a health set, it's done in a relaxed manner. If practised as a martial set, it will feel more dynamic.
As a martial set, the aim of the 14 Postures Qi Gong is to generate energy (Fa Jin) which can then be included in Form and application practise. You practise “Heng Ha!” breathing while guiding and releasing your internal energy.
