This maintains the arch and bridge in the horse stance. It opens up the kidney one on the bottom of the feet. Head and tail bone alignment is as usual in tai chi and standing practices. A better example is in this video of the 1st four postures. https://youtu.be/RFf7d-3PkMY<br />This is what is taught in the Cheng Tin hung lineage.

...http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzAwNTQ0MzY4.html?x<br />This is a link to a video of the 24 Neikung taught by Wang Dixian. There are a few videos online of the 24. Most of the exercises are very similar but a few a significantly different although share some recognisable characteristics. Discussion with the lineage holders in the UK Ian Cameron and Dan Docherty both say the link above shows a dummed down version. Many of the exercises are the same but a few seem to have left out the squttingmovements. Ian said he has not changed the Neikung Since it was taught to him by Chen tin-hung. It is rumoured that Dan changed some of the exercises. Some students demonstrate very different techniques although being taught by the same instructors. There are several version out there even within the cheng tin hung lineage. I have researched the neikung through many Chinese video websites and found a few variations of the neikung. Again there are many similarities and the core exercises are the same. However there are some. ery unusual ineteroretation ps relative to the cheng-tin hung version. I would say Ian Is the best source of what cheng tin hung taught. He learnt before Do hefty and has not altered the set. His forms are also closer to what Cheng Tin Hung performs.

When tai chi nei gung has become more open to the public, as the master in the linkage wrote, many people got disappointed, not even after having been "revealed" some previously secrete lineage instructions, as in the linkage (which more often than not failed to be easily or readily comprehensible). I believe the best approach, for teachers and students alike, is to focus on step by step learning (and teaching), rather than trying to learn something quickly to become superman or superwoman, after being exposed to some secrete teachings. In the internal arts, there is a beginning, but no end. And students can become better than teachers one day. I hope I can contribute a bit in this area. Needless to say anything written here by me on 24 Styles tai chi nei gung is only my interpretation rather than definitive.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867403006412320812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020010160030365744.post-47630940305977839042015-07-14T10:40:21.467-07:002015-07-14T10:40:21.467-07:00Hello Paul,

I have a video of him performing the whole 24 neikung as in keens ibook Iron Vest. I don't know who taught him the exercises but it is interesting to read he did spend time in Hong Kong so may have learnt them form Chen Tin-hung. Another instructor who teachers the 24 neikung exercises is Master Ahn in New York http://www.ahntaichi.com/videotapes.html <br />On the link is a page selling the Nai kung 24 VHS. He was student of Cheng Man Ching. The wandixian 24 exercises are online as a full video with subtitles which you can watch. I showed the video to my instructor who commented that Chen Tin-Hung was furious that wandixian had published the exercises. They are in the same order as the version Cheng-tin hung teaches and have the same names but several of the exercises are def deficient as they lack the squatting movements of the legs. <br />It was rumoured that Chen Tin-Hung put together the exercises into the set of 24. However ,several other styles of Tai chi have them so I think they must predate this. It is a mystery where they originally came from and may have even been incorporated from an external kungfu style and modified.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316162701370550720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020010160030365744.post-79774130714733915262011-11-27T20:07:45.275-08:002011-11-27T20:07:45.275-08:00Wangdixian's 24 styles can be found in his boo...Wangdixian's 24 styles can be found in his book: http://www.cosmosbooks.com.hk/search/search_product.asp?bookid=70760<br /><br />I just checked out Keen's published works at Amazon. His iron palm video featured the late prominent iron-palm master Gu RuZhang (顧汝章)'s famous picture of breaking a pile of bricks using his palm. One can Google this image easily. I have no idea whether or not Keen's stuff is related to Master Gu's practice.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867403006412320812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020010160030365744.post-16337211780321522932011-11-26T08:02:01.239-08:002011-11-26T08:02:01.239-08:00hi paul,
