I know other styles of Kung Fu emphasizes on meditation,channeling Chi,and performing the Horse stance during training.However,I'm not familiar with sanda/san shou.Does it emphasizes on meditation,channelig Chi, and performing Horse Stance exercises during training?Or is Sanda/San Shou just a form of Kung Fu that is all about fighting and sports competition?Please inform me!
most forms of kung fu use a horse stance as a basic form of training,
and qi gung is at the very centre of kung fu, weather or not you will be tought qi (or to spell it phoneticaly chi) manipulation i do not know, it depends on your instructor. i practice lau gar and am taught moving meditation techniques but that is because both i and my instructor show an interest in them
here are some tips for helping to stimulate and direct chi
below your navel is what is known as the dan tien (spelt phoneticaly) which is where your chi energy is thought to be stored.
the most important thing in directing chi is mind power, belive you are doing it, whilst doing excercises e.g. horse stance if you are holding your arms out streight in front of you (which is sometimes done) imagine the energy flowing in through your palms when you breath in and moving down your body into your naval aria and when you breath out imagine it going out through your arms.
other excercises such as "pushing mountains" and "raising the sky" are grate to stimulate chi flow and after practice you you should deffinatley be able to feel it, it may start off as a tingeling. and if you imagine a ball of chi between your hands and imagine energy coming out of your hands and building up inside that ball, after practice it should feel something like pushing two same poles of a magnet together, with practice that ball will also get bigger.
you can also stimulate chi flow arround your body through meditation. imagining it flowing, around your body.
i have mentioned practice numerouse time above and i must say you have to be persistant. it will not come to you at first, you have to be patient and keep practicing.
the most important things are mind power, you have to see yourself doing it, and practice, ive been practicing for about 2 years, nightly!
good times to practice are early in the morning and late at night. AVOID MID DAY! suposidly by a tree and flowing water is great, and prefferably with a breeze, however i understand this is somtimes very hard, so i practice in my room, with windows open
some of the effects you get are tingeling in the fingers (i got this about two weeks it) and a eventualy if you push your hands together it should feel like pushing two repelling magnets together (i got this a few months in) and the feeling should gradualy increase.
top tips are not to give up! and keep at it.
if you (or anyone) whants a run through of some other excercises such as moving meditation raising the sky pushing mountains ect feel free to add me on here and email me, and ill be happy to help
moving meditation is basicaly just relaxing and letting go, one person i know described it as pulling an elastic band and letting it go, you let it continue to spring back and forth with the energy it has. so basicaly you let go and do not prevent yourself from doing things such as swaying, stepping and somtimes even humming
