Iron Shirt Chi Kung is an ancient practice of internal energy training. Originally used by martial artists for inner power, this practice spread to become part of Medical Chi Kung because of its ability to awaken healing energy.

The strength and vitality of your internal organs are the real keys to the overall health of your body. In this practice of strengthening the internal organs, Master Chia guides you through certain standing postures, muscle locks, and breathing techniques, known as Iron Shirt Chi Kung. These practices direct internal power to the organs, the twelve tendon channels, and the connective tissues fasciae. By directing more energy into your internal organs you can perfect your body, increase performance, fight disease, and lay the groundwork for higher spiritual work.

The standing postures teach how to connect the internal structure (bones, muscles, tendons and fasciae) with the ground, so that rooting power is developed. By following along with the detailed instruction that Master Chia presents on this DVD, you will learn how to draw and circulate energy through the body.

You can actually grow your tendons, making them supple and elastic like a child's. Your joints can open and become free passageways for the "Chi" life force energy to circulate through your body. The key to these changes is the use of slow, gentle movements that activate the tendons, followed by quiet meditation that directs the internal energy. Enliven Your Joints and Tendons presents exercises to train you to combine the mind, heart, bone structure and Chi flow into one moving unit. 

In Enliven your Joints and Tendons, Master Chia leads you through a set of moving postures that evolve out of the static forms learned in the first level of Iron Shirt Chi Kung. You will learn these postures as individual exercises and as partner exercises. You will learn how to absorb and discharge energy through your tendons. Also, Master Chia teaches the use of a Mung Bean filled cloth hitter that will release accumulated toxins in your joints and muscles.
