That was explained brilliantly and honestly.. gotta love it when a master admits he isn’t at the last two levels yet so can’t really comment. I’d like to hear more from this master and see demonstrations.

An excellent explanation of how an internal system works. I can recommend this video to anyone who wants to understand how internal training works, without fantasies, magic or mysticism, at least in its initial and intermediate-advanced parts. And I liked Master Yap's sincerity when he says "I can't say anything about this part, I don't master it."

I find this very practical in day to day living...:)

Perfect comparison with trains! Thank you so much for this wisdom 🙏❣🌱

Simplemente genial este maestro habla y a la vez destruye ese pocote de leyendas urbanas sobre el Misterioooso Chi. Gracias

Excellent

Those variation in the spectrum aren't sealed to a single moment, technique, thought, feel or move, they can happen at any given time, anywhere, without you suspecting it, most of the time, without you really controlling it, but eventually, with enough attention to what you experience, you can later differentiate and realize what was really going on and what part was really playing a role in this or that moment. Your strength is nothing in the equation although it really is the start, it's more of a reflex, it does what it has to, no more, no less. Your aura is your composure, it is, pretty much like everything else, already 'trained' or prepared, the state of a part of you that keeps in consideration the other parts, as all do, the known and unknown, and considers a kind of line of arrow through time and space, through your life, it's your inner angle of approach to life and death state of being, to all that you know and don't know, you chose from your inner core, from under the hood, it is indeed a higher level of unification of the 'self' state. Emptiness is a 'deep' level where everything works its way out in balance, your intentions aren't overly dreaming about an end, it ain't trying to avoid a fear either, your fear is a flag, not even a warning, it's just an information that you ride along with everything else. In Emptiness, you don't necessarily 'forget' the self, the self simply takes into consideration the rest and whole of the 'universe' or all the rest that is around you, inside of you, really, it is not trying to make a difference in the mind or perception, it has no goal per say, it is merely taking its right place, no more, no less, it is an understated silent acceptance of everything that is in and out of you. Emptiness really, it is not even trying to make it about you either, it's a state of being one but not thinking it because the everything that makes you (all 'previous' levels) is as quiet as a calm pound and reflects exactly everything else with 'perfection', your inner noise of any level is flat and not interfering with the 'greater noise' you are undividedly part of and powerless to be otherwise. You cannot separated yourself from the air and everything else, you may think of air as an idea of something different than your skin, bones, mind, aura, spirit, but it's really just all a big soup and you may see the veggies in the soup, but the soup is the veggies, and liquid, and heat, and everything else, the bowl, and beyond time, a soup in the making with ingredients on the counter, a soup in the making ingredients being prepared, a soup in the making ingredients being cooked, a soup in the making served in the bowl, a soup in the making eaten and digested, a soup in the making thrown on the ground, all along, a soup nonetheless, always in the making. You may wish to make this or that, but at that level, your wishes are as erased and flat, you are a mere vessel in a vessel and simply act accordingly in simplicity. Emptiness is a state that transcends all times and spaces, you are not a Dr.Strange knowing/searching all universes and times all at once, it is simply a transcendental state of being. Most of us mostly go along all our lives at earlier levels, our state of being always fluctuating (always in fluctuation, the honing is hard and demanding), but rarely anywhere outside those 'early levels'. Sometimes we feel/see/perceive glimpse of other levels, most of the times we don't even notice let alone control any of it. It's like climbing a mountain, most of us remain in the valley, some will see a bit more landscape, some will try hard to venture further to the top, but eventually, once at the top, there is nowhere else to go, and there is definitely less ground to keep yourself in true balance at the very tip of the top, and almost '99.9%' of anything else is a tip down or imbalance, not much wiggle room for anything else, let alone for the complications/noises of the self, desires, dreams, emotions/emotional attachment (not saying it's wrong, not at all, just saying IT WILL definitely play in the unbalance of everything else), all this is inner noise is as weather, landscape, day/night and everything else will play in the unbalance of/from the 'exterior' noises and eventually you kinda realizes the very limitations of the state of being and what the extreme limitations of being this very top means, or else you are a 'fallen' in some way or another, not necessarily in a bad way, it is just you grasp and get a perspective on all it takes to be at that level and all You 'cannot allow' yourself to be or you end up not being at this very tip of the top of everything pushed and honed, because in the end, Emptiness is a measure beyond you and what makes you. Considering I most definitely don't have all this right or even explain it right because 1, life and death being more than mere words and ideas, now, maybe you can start to grasp what it means when a Master claims he cannot find a worthy student to pass on his knowledge and wisdom. All of this is a LOT, requires a LOT, will demand 'you' a LOT, you will first have to consider the basics and train them and get them right a LOT of time (another misconception of training, like we always do training the right way, which isn't the case, hence, you will have to pay very close attention to all training you do and learn from it, hone it, perfect it, otherwise, you will be bound on training wrong and building habits wrong without your conscious effort at paying attention to what you do and the results of it all), for the rest of your lifetime, it will require you, his student, to not abandon the path, and eventually even push it further, and mostly not turn against the path and venture as a fiend using your gem in all the wrong purposes or become a 'fallen angel' of some sort, this is what a Master seeks in worthiness, for the greater good of the legacy, not for your Guinness records or fame, simply for the continuity of the lineage of the art and knowledge of MASTERING. One of the rule of Jade states 'Consider a long road ahead, therefore, know how to prepare the spirit with loyalty, the body with perseverance' and this one really is a good angle to the approach and accomplishment of anything you will ever want or be required to. Thus, anyone can undergo this path, but in the end, it is not exactly for any 'kind' of one, you will have to adhere somehow to 'something' in order to not just be a 'nothing and anything' of this world of dumb tiktokers let's say ;) The path to progression requires progression. Good luck and enjoy.

Great! Thanks so much for clear explanations on this. I am in Aikido and discovering this along the path also. What are the 'multiple aspects of training a form?' Very intrigued. Looking forward to further understanding. 🙂

Thanks

Please... The link to learn Wumei Quan from Sifu Yap Boh Heong doesn't work. I really want to learn that amazing Martial Art

Were these systems in China developed out of Tibetan teachings or did they develop separately? Tibetan teachings can also produce unique abilities. Would you consider a video on Wym Hoff and his internal martial art of cold weather exposure and breathing method?

empty your mind become nothing, only when u are empty and see nothing, do you see everything.

Lol may I ask, what is the purpose for anyone to learn this? Is it for fun and art? Or are people are trying to learn to defend themselves?

i never heard of the sixth force

To develop "Emptiness"... You have to Discipline the Subconscious Mind (the internal voices / thoughts in your head). In order to achieve this... takes about 100 consecutive days, of One Hour long, Silent Mediation sessions. You have to keep your mind tied up with a Certain TASK... so that it can not "Wander". This task, is quite simple: Just count out the length of each Inhale, and Exhale, ..in Seconds. For example... Breathing in: One - One-Thousand, Two - One-Thousand, Three - One-Thousand... etc. Exhale: One - One-Thousand, Two - One-Thousand, Three - One-Thousand... etc. - The "One-Thousand" is added to each number, to make sure that your timing is accurate to actual seconds. - You want to do these practice when and where it is Silent / Very Quiet... such as very late at night.. or very Early in the morning hours, before most have waken up. - It is Best to lay down on your back, in your bed. Arms relaxed at your your sides. Close your eyes. - Take 5 long, very slow and well controlled... Deep Breaths... to start to calm yourself down... before starting... - Starting, and During the entire Mediation... you dont want your breath to be stressful. You want to use a more relaxed / natural breathing, instead. - You can add visualization to this.... And in my case... I personally like to draw the numbers out in the air... as if I were writing them in virtual sand. This added visualization, can help even more, to keep your mind completely busy. - When you first start... Your Subconscious mind will try to FIGHT you over this... as it does Not want to be Disciplined. It will usually start out, by making you "Itch" various parts of your body. It also might try to give you certain "Cramps". The goal will be, to try to make you physically move. Resist these urges, and eventually, they will go away. - Do not move any part of your body, for the entire duration of the Meditation session. If you dont move, about 7 to 10 minutes in... and your BODY will start to go into "Sleep Mode", where it will start shutting down various bodily functions, like digestion, and physical movement operations. WARNING: One your body has been put into sleep-mode... IF you try to move your arm at that moment... your arm will not move. Dont Panic. It will take about 60 seconds, before your body Boots back up into full Waking mode... and at that point, you will be able to move your arm. However, at that exact moment of movement... your arm will move very slowly, and will feel very Heavy. Similar to the feeling, if you have ever slept on your own arm. Thats because your circulation has not fully reached its waking speed, and pressure levels. The tingling and heavy feeling, will gradually go away, as your circulation reaches its full waking state. - Mediation training, is similar to putting a young child into "Time Out" (standing in the corner, looking at the wall... doing nothing, for an extended period of time). The Child will do everything it can to try to Rebel. It will typically try to run away from the spot. It may start to try to get the attention of the adult, and Manipulate / Reason their way out of the punishment. And as the Adult... to make the punishment work... you have to "Break" them... to the point where they will Obey your rule. This means, that every time they try to escape the corner... you pick them back up, place them back in the corner... and tell them that you are starting the Punishment timer, all over again... thereby extending their punishment time. You can not "Give In" nor "Compromise" at any time... or they will revert back to their original state. You also need to enforce this same punishment, at every instance of the bad behavior(s). Eventually the Childs mind, will realize that it cant get away with being "Naughty", nor can it manipulate its way out of the Punishment. At that point, or a few more repeated session... and its Actions will permanently change. Its the same with your Subconscious Mind. You need to do these sessions, every single day. You shouldnt skip a single days session. You should never make your sessions shorter than one hour. Nor should you temporarily stop in the middle of a session, to do something else. Any "Rests" in this process.. and the Subconscious mind may not take your efforts seriously... and will continue to repeat its normal chaotic ways. However, after about that 3 month period... eventually your Subconscious mind will "Break", and will become like a very Obedient Dog... waiting SILENTLY for your Commands.. rather than a pack of wild puppies, pulling you in every direction, and randomly barking loudly, within your mind. Once you have Achieved the "Quiet Mind" state... your mind will either be 100% Silent (as you choose).. or very close to perfect silence. At that moment, you can stop your daily meditation sessions... as this Change within your brain, is Permanent. Something to note... is that Scientists have recently proven, via MRI Brainscans... that Mediation over many months, physically changes peoples brains. They noticed that the brains physically grew in Density, and Connections. This Quiet Mind state... will improve the Quality of your Life, 1000 fold. As once your mind is free of internal distractions... you can FAR more fully enjoy every single moment, of the Present (the GIFT). You will be able to learn new things.. like 3 times faster. You will also have a much greater level of Expanded Consciousness. All of which plays a huge factor.. in Combat abilities... as in combat... you cant have even a moments level of distraction... nor any lapse in bodily awareness / focus. Of course, then you also need the 1 hour long, slow-motion FORMS work.. to both develop your Body differently... but also... to further EXPAND your bodily awareness, and 3d spatial awareness, to a whole other level. This also will likely take several months of efforts. At minimal... do a 1 hr long session, every other day... for at Least 3 consecutive months. It may take longer, depending on your own personal levels of developments. I also recommend learning Yogic Breathing exercises... and practicing them at various times, throughout the day/night. Most especially, to develop separate control of your upper lung, and low abdomen. Breath-Packing, is also a good exercise. These exercises can more than Double your lung oxygen holding capacity... as well as develop special internal muscles (that might not be able to be fully developed... via typical normal physical exercises). I had spend 3 years doing daily 1hr mediation sessions. As well as doing yogic breathing exercises... regularly. I believe it took about 3 months to reach the Quiet Mind state. I just kept going... to see how far down the rabbit hole, I could go. I was also on a sort of "Spiritual Quest", to better connect with G0d. I believe I satisfied that connection level, and far more.. so I stopped at that 3 year marker. Maybe a year or so later... I started training in Wing Chun. Due to my training with specialized breathing methods... I was able to incorporate these Lost breathing methods, into my Martial Arts movements... for FAR greater power output capabilities. These ancient Chinese arts, USED to have very in depth Breathing methods, being taught and practiced, regularly. However, after the Industrial Revolution Period... a lot of these arts Lost their understanding and value, of these methods. A lot of teachers stopped teaching them, altogether. And... eventually, the Original methods were Lost.. and Corrupted into a FAR INFERIOR version, of its former self.

Energy is the "same", just at different magnitudes (think octaves), it is what happens when you multiply things. Hard to explain very easily if you are not a friend with math. Random example. 11111111^2 = 123456787654321 11111111^2 / 11 = 11223344332211 11111111^2 / 11^2 = 1020304030201 everything in this world goes throug multiplication, not addition. but it is not the "sum" or "counting number", it is about symmetries. Uncalled for black pill - meaing of life is to detach from this world and no reason (trickery) to reincarnate back to this poophole. Demiurge wants you to choose light. Dont. Anyhow. Mayne im wrong. It now got me thinking about it. Should we burn our bodies to do that? For what reason old munks are "tried up"? So they cant reincarnate back? Like "effyou, demurge"?? Important - feels like im not here for a long time. If not dead because of decent valid reason, then whacked by satanist/gov (2 attempts by now). Other fun stories. Got my hand bone broken. Was healing, and doing stretching movemnts, smth like grabing a ball. Used "V shape tinfoil line and pin" to make it more ineresting. Fast whirl because of convection and/or easily absorbable free qi. Got and idea, i put a jar over it.... It took mne a little while, think of expanding field, not centered point attention, but ball attention. Okhay, I got it moving. 1) both hands 30cm away, jaw in the middle 2) 2 meters away.

@THE MARTIAL MAN Hey man, from my experience, tbh, people think waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much about all of those individual things that he is explaining about! Which causes a mental then physical blockage about all those things that he is explaining about in the mind and body! Lol The problem is people see all this stuff man then they honestly get so hung up on and about it all that it totally stops and prevents everyone from gaining any skill or moving forwards and advancing in all of those things! You want the solution to fix that problem which is to do the opposite about thinking too much about all these things that he's explaining about and just stop thinking about it all which will unblock your mind and body natural flow so you can continue and move forwards and actually get somewhere with all this shit without thinking about it too much which will stop you getting hung up on it all way too much and stop you from pretty much being a puppet 😂 lol 👋 😂 The last emptiness thing that he is talking about is wuji theory thing they talk about in taiji, nothingness is exactly what it means! "Nothingness!" Lol you don't think about anything! Lol taiji is simply from nothingness comes taiji lol then taiji splits into 2 yin an yang! Lol then to 4 then 8 16 32 blah blah blah then back to wuji nothingness again! Lol it's as simple as that! Lol lol 😆 🤣

........ (empty :))

This is like Jordan Peterson teaching how to fight… c’mon guys, a big guy off the street could kill this man, forget what an amateur boxer would do.

Joke

A lot of shit talking.

Thanks
