EternalRage Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I think he's talking about soft techniques (nei gong - internal type techniques) and hard techniques (wei gong - more external techniques). For example, shotokan karate is generally considered hard whereas tai chi is considered soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aefibird Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I've done both hard and soft training, but I generally train in hard style at the moment. "Was it really worth it?

Menjo Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Hard, but he do have some movements that might be considered soft. I think every style has at least a small amount of soft or hard wether they be considered hard or soft overall.

Aodhan Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I had a slightly different explanation for soft and hard arts. "Soft" arts were explained to me as arts that use open hands and not fists (Primarily). So, Tai Chi, a lot of Kung Fu, aikido would all be soft arts. Karate, TKD, SBD, TSD, etc would all be hard arts.Every art should teach the internal qi (ki, chi, however you spell it) aspects, and again, some will emphasize it more than others.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
