Martial
Arts Internal Energy Strike Article by Sensei J. Richard Kirkham
B.Sc.
"You must
burn your hands in this secret potion my son, sit under the water
fall for 15 minutes, and do these secret breathing techniques."
Bull! I have heard explanations even from honest martial arts
instructors that sound mystical, "You must allow the ki
(chi, bio-energy) to flow through the arm
and into your attacker's body.", but I hold that to the way it
was explained to them and not having a A background in exercise
physiology such as I do or their path of research following a more
easterly direction. Before many of my martial arts friends get
mad at me for this statement, as a teacher with a background in
physical education, I believe it is important for my students to
understand the physics behind a martial arts technique as much as
possible. I believe it allows them to improve their martial arts
techniques even faster if they understand what they are striving for
physically.

Your
approach, was, it seemed, coming from a man who was speaking
to viewers/present students in a way that made him approachable,
and easily understood. This is great!
I
use the same approach in classes.
Students are more inclined to ask questions if they feel they can,
and won't be brow beaten or made an example of for not
understanding.
I
also saw, in your pad strikes, that you were doing something else,
besides just hitting/pushing a shield.
That
extra 'oompf', I could know by recognition, the method you were
using. That was a deep strike, and not just a push. And ki was in
play. Intended as an internal strike instead of just a punch. But,
for the viewer, perhaps to keep it simple, you didn't appear to
expand on it, so to the unaware eye, it could seem as if only a
punch/push.
Great
job Rick!

It takes practice
yes, but as opposed to what some instructors would lead you to
believe, there is nothing mystical about internal energy strikes. It
is a strike like any other, based on physiological principles. So why
do I still call it an internal energy strike? It is simply a term
with which martial artists are familiar and the shortest one I can
think of. My students begin learning the basics of internal energy
strikes within their first month. Although all the internal energy
strike drills do for them in the beginning is to increase their
striking power. Later on, at blue belt level, they learn how to
execute internal energy strikes more rapidly since they have already
been introduced to some of the drills.
Internal energy
strikes involve proper breathing, proper coordinated movement,
stability, and proper use of antagonistic and aganistic
muscles.
Proper
Breathing
Have any of you
ever seen a boxing match and heard the boxer breath out explosively
through his nose? This is done for a two fold purpose, to increase
the power of the punch and prepare the boxer's body if he takes a
blow. If your health allows you to, try throwing a punch while
holding your breath. Now throw the same punch while exhaling hard.
Did you notice a difference in the power and speed? Similar breathing
is done during the internal energy strike, with the exception that
you continue to breath out as long as you are following through. Visa
versa continuing to breath out helps to prolong your follow through
and do more damage to your attacker. Now let me stop right here and
tell you that you should not try any of these techniques or drills
without the guidance of a good instructor. Furthermore James R.
Kirkham, The Martial Arts Ezine, nor any of
The Martial Arts Ezine's contributors nor
advertisers accept responsibility for any injuries which may take
place attempting any of these techniques, drills, or exercises
including injuries to the practitioner, partner of the practitioner,
or attacker of the practitioner. I'm sorry I have to take time for
that, but some people will not accept responsibility for their own
actions.

This of course thrilled me.
Proper
Coordinated Movement
I know this
sounds basic, but the hips and hand must move together and in the
same direction to execute an internal energy strike. The basic
mistakes when throwing a punch is to lean forward, lock the front
knee out, and fall forward as you punch. This must be corrected in
order to execute any type of good punch especially an internal energy
punch.
Stability
Stability is
different than balance. In order to be stable, you must be able to
remain in a stationary position against resistance. The best position
to be stable in the beginning is a front stance. Later, through
proper use of weight shifts and straightening a leg, you can be
stable in almost any position. Practice your internal energy punch
slowly, against a resistance in order to make sure you are stable. It
should be done slowly at first to make sure you are not compensating
for lack of stability with speed and inertia.
Proper
Use of Agonistic and Antagonistic Muscles
Antagonistic
muscles are those muscles which inhibit a movement you are trying to
execute. Agonistic muscles are those muscles that aid you in
executing a movement. When I tell my students they must be completely
relaxed when they throw an internal energy strike, I am not being
completely honest. Muscles are always at some level of tension
commonly known as muscle tone. In order to stand up and have our legs
support us there must also be some contraction of muscles. By the way
if it ever comes up, muscles can only contract, they cannot expand,
although they can stretch and are more efficient in a stretched
state, thus the wind up for a pitch or drawing back (or chambering)
to throw a punch.
My students seem
to understand the concept of being as relaxed as possible and still
staying on their feet however, therefore I allow myself this tiny
fib.
When you execute
an internal energy strike it must be done with a complete totally
relaxed movement and follow through. Any tension from antagonistic
muscles will decrease the power of the strike and hinder the flow and
follow through of the movement. The fact that an attacker is in the
way of you doing a complete follow through should not hinder you from
completing your relaxed, flowing follow through.
