Long before "firearms," Iron Shirt Chi "Kung," a form of Kung "Fu," built powerful bodies able to withstand hand-to-hand combat. Even "then," "however," martial use was only one of its "aspects," and today its other aspects remain vital to better "health," a sound "mind," and spiritual growth. This ancient system of breathing exercises strengthens the internal "organs," establishes roots to the Earth's "energy," and unifies "physical," "mental," and spiritual health. After becoming rooted and "responsive," practitioners can then focus on higher spiritual work.
