Is Yang Mian™ Kung Fu an internal or external martial art?
(For those not familiar with the terms: internal refers to internal strength [the flow of Chi], external refers to more muscular type strength. Tai Chi is an example of the first, most Karate styles are typical of the second). The Yang Mian™ System develops and maintains inner strength. Internal styles usually begin with slow, relaxed movements. It often requires years of practice before inner stylists are able to release explosive power effectively. Yang Mian™ Kung Fu employs relaxed but fast movements from the beginning. It also generates and stores inner strength for expression in an instantaneous and powerful manner. The first signs of this inner development appear within a few months.
