Taiwan's economy made rapid progress in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. The economic growth of Taiwan began on Dihua Street. There were many North-South trade businesses there, with various industries thriving. During that time, a lot of Taiwanese tea was exported to Europe. Dihua Street was a famous commercial street, attracting people from all walks of life, and it was very prosperous.

At that time, there were many external forces trying to dominate and disrupt Dihua Street. To protect local peace and prosperity, martial arts became very popular. Many young people practiced martial arts to defend their homeland and protect the people. As a result, Dihua Street produced a group of young people who were skilled in practical combat. They had real competition experience, competing from local levels to provincial and even national levels. The national martial arts competitions at that time were double-elimination events, forming a well-structured system that attracted many martial artists to participate. Experts gathered, and among them, young practitioners of internal martial arts from Dihua Street won the national championship for several years.

Our internal martial arts tradition grew from this background. It's not the typical form of martial arts most people know. Our practice is deeply rooted in culture and philosophy, with practical applications, combining both internal and external cultivation. It is not just martial arts, but also a way to cultivate oneself and elevate cultural inheritance. The practice of internal martial arts is enlightening. Besides strengthening the body, the most important benefit is the enhancement of our inner cultivation and wisdom. Many traditional Chinese cultural practices and martial arts have already been lost or fragmented. Our system has preserved many of the traditional essence and concepts. Especially now, with the addition of modern scientific logic, our system has become even more complete, makin it more suitable for us to practice.

台灣五，六，七十年的經濟突飛猛進，經濟發展很快。 台灣經濟開始於迪化街。 那裡有很多南北貨行，各行各業都有。當時很多台灣茶出口到歐洲各地。迪化街是出名的商業街聚集各界層人士，非常繁榮。當時有很多外來的勢力想要霸占和擾亂迪化街。為了保護當地的安寧和繁榮。武術也變成很盛行。

很多年輕人練習武術來保鄉維民。所以迪化街出了一批很會實戰得年輕人，他們是有實際擂台比賽經驗。從區域的比賽，到全省，全國。當時國術擂台比賽是雙淘汰制是很完整的體系。引來了許多練習各種武術的人來參加。高手如雲。其中在迪化街練習內家傳承武術的年輕人拿了幾年的全國總冠軍總冠軍。

我們的內家傳承的練習就是從這樣的背景成長， 不是一般所認識的武術。我們的練習是帶有深厚的文化和哲學基礎， 加上實戰應用，形成了內外兼修。它不只是武術，更是修身和對傳承文化的提升。內家傳承的練習是啟發性的。除了可以強身健體，最重要是可以提升我們內在修為和智慧。許多中國傳承的文化和武術都已經流失和斷層。我們的系統保留了許多傳統的精髓和觀念。尤其現在加上現在的科學邏輯，讓我們的系統更完整。更適合現代人的練習。

Today I would like to share with you the true features and benefits of practicing the Inernal Art Lineage (Nei Jia Chuan Cheng). In traditional language, it is to practice "quiet energy and spirit". To put it in modern terms: exercising our bodies can also help us open up our minds. Let me explain it to you in more detail below.

First, the internal family tradition is to exercise our bodies through practicing internal martial arts. Internal exercises can help our qi and blood flow throughout our body. It can enhance our immune function, protect the body's internal organs, and improve our physical fitness.

Second, practicing internal martial arts movements can help us achieve inner balance and calm our physical brains. It allows us to relax our tense minds and relieve the stress of our daily work and life.

Third, the system of Internal Arts practice includes philosophy and strategy. When our stress is relieved, our minds become more alert and our thinking becomes clearer. We can better absorb the true philosophy and strategy passed down by the Inertnal Arts This can improve our thinking. These are the things we modern people need to exercise so that we can continue to remain competitive, maintain momentum, and improve our creativity in this new era.

When it comes to the application of martial arts, it is not what we generally think of as relying on strength and fists. Martial arts do not necessarily require the use of brute force. Because using too much force can sometimes hurt yourself. For example, Xingyiquan emphasizes the three external and three internal harmonies. That is, do not use brute force. By combining our inner and outer selves and applying them naturally in the movements, we can also exert a force of a thousand pounds. The application of martial arts is only a small part of practicing Internal Arts. What we really need to pay attention to is self-cultivation and in-depth understanding of internal practice.

今天我想和大家分享練習內家傳承的真正特色和好處。用傳統的語言就是練習‘’靜氣神‘’。用現代的語言來說就是：鍛鍊好身體同時可以讓我們打開我們的思路思維。以下我更詳細的跟大家解釋一下。

第一，內家傳承是透過練習內家武術來鍛鍊我們的身體。內家的練習可以幫助我們氣血流通我們的全身。可以增強我們的免疫功能，保護身體內在，並提升我們的體魄。

第二，練習內家的動作可以讓我們內心平衡，肉腦平靜下來。讓我們可以舒緩我們的緊張的頭腦，讓我們可以舒緩平時工作和生活的壓力。

第三，內家傳承的系統是包括哲學和謀略。當我們的壓力解開了以後，頭腦變的更加靈敏，我們的思維更清晰。我們就可以更好的吸收內家傳承真正的哲學與謀略觀念。這樣就可以提高我們的思維。這些都是我們現代人需要運動的來，可以讓我們繼續在這個新時代保持競爭力，保持衝勁，並提高我們的創造力。

如果談到武術的應用，不是我們一般所認為的靠力氣和拳頭。武術不是一定要用猛力。因為用猛力有時候會傷到自己。譬如說形意拳是強調外三和內三和。就是動作在動態中不要用蠻力，我們的內在與外在結合用在動作的自然體也可以使出千斤的整勁。這樣可以是對方難以招架。 武術應用只是練習內家的一小部分。真正要注意的是修身養性，深入了解內家的練習。讓我們共同把失去的文化傳承呈現出來。

Why do traditional martial arts advocate for both internal and external cultivation, rather than just practicing Dao Yin or Qigong? So why do we need to practice physical movements? Because through physical movement, we can strengthen our bodies, improve our immune systems, and toughen our muscles, bones, and skin. This can be combined with internal training to strengthen internal organs, achieving an overall balance of internal and external cultivation, making our bodies stronger. This allows us to live longer, healthier lives.
When our physical condition changes, our mental state also changes . Wisdom can also improve as a result. This is the practice of Jing, Qi, Shen (Essence, Energy, and Spirit). Therefore, we can handle situations with greater wisdom rather than relying on brute force. In ancient times, martial arts were practiced to protect one's homeland and country, not for personal aggression or reckless fighting. Even in martial applications, we do not use brute or unrefined force. Instead, we use methods, skillful techniques, and whole-body coordination.
In fact, whether it is external martial arts like Shaolin, Long Fist, or Short Fist, or internal martial arts, they all embrace the concept of wholeness. Internal martial arts cultivate from the inside out, while external martial arts develop from the outside in. Regardless of whether it is internal or external, the emphasis is always on the whole.
The so-called systems or schools carry the essence and wisdom passed down through generations. This is the crystallization of culture. Therefore, practicing traditional martial arts systems can make us healthier, live longer, live happier, and live with greater wisdom.
The realm of internal martial arts is a complete system. It can transform both structured and unstructured concepts. The combination of internal and external training can reach a very high level of understanding and reveal unique insights.

今天我想同大家分享一些傳統武術練習的觀念和想法, 以及系統們派的意義。
為什麼傳統武術都提倡內外兼修, 而不是只是練習導引或氣功? 譬如有些人喜歡打坐來練氣，有些人練氣功來練氣。 那為什麼我們需要練習肢體動作？ 因為我們可以通過肢體動作的練習來幫助我們鍛煉身體，提高身體免疫力，鍛煉我們的體魄，強健筋骨皮。 同時也可以結合內在的練習，強化內在器官。達到內外整體的鍛煉。使到我們身體更加強壯。我們可以活得長久，活得健康。

當我們身體體質改變了之後，我們的精神亦隨之改變。智慧亦可以隨之提高。這就是‘’精、氣、神‘’的練習。所以我們更有智慧的處理事情，而不是靠武力。 古時練習武術是保鄉衛國，而不是個人的好勇斗狠。就算是武術的應用，我們亦不是用蠻力或濁力。而是用方法和巧勁，運用身體整體的方式。
其實無論是外家拳，少林拳，長拳或短拳，或是內家拳都具備整體的觀念。 內家拳是有內到外。而外家拳是從外到內。無論是內家或外家都是強調整體的。

所謂門派系統是歷代相傳練習的精髓和智慧。
這是文化的結晶。所以我們練習傳統系統武術武術，可以是我們身體健康，復活得更長久，活得更開心，活得更有智慧。

內家的境界是一個完整的系統。它可以改變規則和不規則的觀念。內和外的結合會達到很高的意境。然後會顯現出很特殊的觀念。如果我們練習到很好的時候，它可以幫助我們突破一般的思維和想法。我們的觀念可以無中生有。變成很有智慧每天都有創意。我們隨時都可以保持不敗不垮。我們是甚至可以超越練習的系統。我們練習不是只能一直在前人之下。我們是可以超越的。只要我們對整個系統了解，我們就可以做得到。

What is style? Style is when each person's characteristics become their style. Many practitioners are very attached to which family or school they practice. Why can’t we look at style broadly from a cultural perspective, combining concepts and cultural origins? We are always talking about style. If we remain fixated on a particular, rigid style, then our space for progress becomes very limited, and we can’t surpass it. So how can the concepts we practice become wisdom and genius? Genius is when you train the body from an unnatural state to the point where the spirit expresses itself naturally, without the need for conscious thought. Many concepts will naturally be resolved this way, not through our limited perspective. Because our usual perspective is often not comprehensive enough. Inspiration or creativity forms in this way.

The so-called reasoning is creating something out of nothing and then integrating it with holistic thinking. The principles of internal systems are not just about the universe; they also include the natural forces of action and reaction, which indirectly generate gravity.

It’s completely wrong to study internal systems and apply concepts from wrestling or judo. The differences between external and internal systems are too vast. Internal systems focus on how to use the opponent’s strength, using the least force and rotational energy to naturally unbalance and displace the opponent. This doesn’t rely on brute strength to throw someone. This shows a misunderstanding of internal system practices. Movements cannot simply be learned by watching. The wisdom within the movements is often not understood. It's incorrect to think of movements as merely physical actions.

For example, many people don’t understand the subtleties of Gao-style Baguazhang. Why do people think learning it is just about martial arts and not about wisdom? Studying internal systems encompasses not just martial arts but also health, wisdom, and how to live a healthy, safe, a

什麽是style（風格，體系）？style就是每一個人的特性變成他們的style。很多練習的人都很執著自己練習的是哪一氏，哪一派。我們爲什麽不能把style廣闊的從文化角度去看，從源流的觀念和文化的結合？我們不是一直談style。如果只是一直執著于固定style，那我們的進步空間就很極限。你沒有辦法超越。那我們練習的觀念如何創造智慧和天才？天才的意思是什麽？天才就是從身體的不自然練到靈的時候，它自然而然不用經過我們思維就會表現出來。所以很多觀念就會迎刃而解。不是經過我們的看法。爲什麽會講這樣，因爲我們一般的看法往往不夠全面化。靈感或創造力就是這樣形成的。
所謂的create（靈感，創意）， 不只是靠我們的經驗來底盤。因爲那只不過是知道基本和平衡。在create當中就會知道如何去整合的觀念。
所以内家的系統要有跟人類結合的自然體，不是刻版的。不自然的所以系統編出來變成比較硬。
所謂的推理就是無中生有。有中再跟整體的思維結合。
内家的原則不是只有宇宙的觀念。它還包括自然的作用力與反作用力迂迴產生引力。
如果學這個内家，再用摔跤或柔道的觀念是完全不對。畢竟外家和内家的差異太多了。内家是如何利用對方的力量，用我們最少的力量和旋勁讓對方自然不平衡然後離心。這并不是用死力來摔。這是對内家的練習不瞭解。動作不是看到就能學到。但是對動作裏面的智慧是不瞭解。我們不執著從用動作去想。這更是不對的。
比如說很多人對高氏八卦掌的奧妙都不瞭解。爲什麽讓大家看到學這個只是武術而已，而不是智慧。學這内家包括養生包括智慧包括如何讓我們這一生活得的健康，安全和快樂。

我們對一般的運動觀念都是練肌肉，鍛鍊外在的身體。但真正能夠徹底鍛鍊身體的是由內而外，除了練習外在身體，我們也需要鍛鍊內在各器官，氣血，精神和智慧，以達到保護身心健康。這就是內家傳承練習的精妙之處。

內家傳承的練習是一個很完整的系統。是古老智慧和文化的結晶。是一種內外合一、內外雙修的系統。我們是透過練習內家武學來了解內家傳承。

形意是結合形和意。形是借動物動作的動作特徵和性能觀念。意是心意內在感覺和觀念與外在的平衡。這不是武術層面，這是結合自然、文化、生活、思想。

八卦掌是將身體陰陽協調平衡。譬如我們的肝是屬於陰，心臟是陽，陰陽結合平衡就可以達到平衡荷爾蒙。這是古老智慧和文化的結晶。是一種內外合一、內外雙修的系統。它是一種養生、保生、護身和養慧。每一個動作練習都能帶動我們身體裡面的氣血運作，達到我們內在的平衡。改變我們身體的體質和細胞，我們的身體得到滋潤和養分以後，心情和頭腦放鬆和愉悅，讓我們可以啟發我們的靈感，充分發揮我們的智慧。這是很完善的練習。這叫做傳承，是文武合一。文是智慧，武是動作。我們不是要分別哪一派比較厲害，而是要了解每一個動作和系統背後真正的觀念，這不是我們一般的思維，而是有一個系統的結構。我們要知道的是們不是練練動作。我們以為我們懂了套路就是我們已經懂了。但如果沒有我們沒有對觀念上的深入探討。其實這樣還是不懂。

太極就是人和大自然結合，練習內在、呼吸，以達到內在和外在放鬆。這不只是練習套路。我們不要被動作限制綁住。我們要學習如何從動作中吸收古人的智慧、文化和哲學，這樣就可以達到內外兼修的效果。

練習武術不只是練習哪一個套路或動作。更不是簡單的了解套路的應用。我們有沒有參透動作的內含呢？為什麼同一個套路或動作，有些人練得平平無奇，但有些人散發出來不一樣的味道？就是我們對動作有沒有了解，對系統有沒有更深層的了解，從而達到超越動作系統的限制。

很多人練習內家，尤其是練內家八卦轉圈，都被圈所綁住。很多人都停留在手腳的應用、手腳的力量。很多人都很刻板地記住或表達每個要領。如果忘了如何活用這些要義，就好像文人只會咬文嚼字，忘了自己本身的用處就是表達想法、意境。

拳套基礎有沒有懂。基礎就是要義。結構不是快或強，應用很自由的觀點。應用和身體上和空間的結合。所以為什麼練習內家拳看起來好像不動，但一動就動全身。拳套觀點不是功能性，如果只是拳打腳踢，這樣和外家又有什麼不一樣呢？內家練習保持一個身體和智慧的結合。我們可以將內家的精神融入我們的生活，帶給每一天如何看待自己。探討內外結合，每一天有意義地改變自己提升自己。這就是智慧，提升創意。
