Tidal WaveChiKung

By Gary J. Clyman

Afew years ago, when the editor of InsideKung-Fu asked me to write an article entitled,“10 Minutes A Day That Will Change YourLife,” I was not prepared. But a lot has hap-pened since then.

For the last 10 years, my tai chi student, Larry, hasbeen has compiling notes and collecting instructionalmaterial we hope to include in a training manual. This

compilation of Larry’s notes from my teachings becameThe Nei Kung Bible!

Solitary BeginningI started learning Temple style tai chi in 1974. I was

taught chi kung in my teacher’s living room a year after hisschool closed. I practiced hard and alone for five years. Iexperimented and formatted my chi kung system the way I

wished I could have been taught.I began teaching my Tidal Wave Chi Kung system in

1983. I’ve had thousands of students from all walks of life.Concise, simple, organized and powerful, my step-by-stepapproach has workedmiracles for those whohave experienced itsaffects.People with no previ-

ous experience havebeen able to quickly cul-tivate their chi and createtheir “internal vacuum.”The Daily Practice Rou-tine only takes 28 min-utes to perform whenfollowing the video.

They WereWrongEveryone told me I was

wrong to teach chi kungto non-tai chi experts.They insisted that per-sonal attention wasneeded. In fact, theymaintained, “It could andshould not be done.”They were wrong, and Ihave proven it thousands

of times.I did not create my chi kung

system just for high-ranking mas-ters only. I created it for everyone,regardless of previous experience.At the time of its inception, manychi kung seminars and bookswere available, but most turnedout to be a waste of time.After many requests for more,

bigger and additional materials, Icreated and began teaching myMind Light Nei Kung Program. Myprograms have always been avail-able on video, DVD, via privateinstruction and group workshops.But there is something new on

the horizon. Ten years after I cre-ated my Mind Light Nei Kung Pro-gram I am unveiling The Nei KungBible.Condensing Breathing is the first

and most important technique inmy system. The chi kung systemshould be completed beforebeginning the nei kung system. Infact, I believe Condensing Breath-ing is the single, most-importantpractice in internal kung-fu.Activating your internal vibration

and your internal vacuum is simple and takes little time todevelop. Based on the intensity of your practice, in somecases it can actually take only a few hours.If you practice like your clothes are on fire, it can actu-

ize in raising yourdeservingness,which is anotherway of saying yourself-esteem. Whenyou practice Con-densing Breathing,your whole worldwill change in ashort time.Think of some-

thing you wantedbut never got. It’sbecause you didn’twant it badenough. When youpractice Condens-ing Breathing, how-ever, your view ofthe world willchange and you’llsoon discover any-thing is attainable.Every day can be agreat day when youstart your day withCondensingBreathing.

Take this gift and use it well. Practice as if your skin is onfire.

ally take only a few hours. Take your time and take itslow; practice like you have the rest of your life toaccomplish something.If circulating chi and cultivating internal power is so

important, how come nobody ever writes about it, talksabout it or teaches it?That’s because most ofthe internal martialartists are confusedabout the concepts andwhat steps need to betaken to become “inter-nal.” This article repre-sents internal kung-fupractice as it relates toyour internal vacuum.
