Nei Gong Notes, January 13, 2026

Last Tuesday’s lesson was a Taiji one on Pillar Pushing. That was an interesting one, another look at moving / strengthening jin.

Wednesday: My monthly trip through the Sinew Work Principles video.

Thursday: 20m Pillar Pushing. Chen pole forms, Lao Jia first form, 37 form. 30m Wu Ji. Reviewed Hunyuan 48.

Friday: 20m Wu Ji; 40m Kidney Hui Chun.

Saturday: My regular Chen class.

Sunday: 25m Zhan Zhuang. My monthly Sunday Chen class.

Monday: Du Stretch; 20m Wu Ji; 1h Dantian Gong and thickening.

Tuesday: 15m Pillar Pushing. Rick’s December 20 Zoom class.

Certainly more days than I would like where I didn’t do much, but there were reasonable reasons for that. And there were some decently solid days, too, though I do need to work on getting back to longer Wu Ji. My acupuncturist today was working on releasing tension in my spine (after working on tension in my arms the previous two weeks), it’ll be interesting to see if that helps with Du channel stuff. (Hopefully I’ll be able to find time to do a Microcosmic Orbit attempt this Friday, and hopefully I’ll have done enough Dantian Gong to make that attempt at least plausible…)
