About This Course

Course Introduction

Traditional TCM Internal-Skill Manual Techniques is taught by Instructor Liu Houkun. Its main themes are the shared origins of martial and medical practice, relaxed and sinking force, and the integration of internal practice with manual techniques. The materials summarize their focus as floating, softness, lightness, penetration, and skillfulness. They introduce force organization, arm coordination, and movement understanding to establish an overview of the technique system.

Topics include sinews, bones, and pain. First organize concepts of force generation separately from specific body regions, then observe how movements work together in demonstrations. Learners with a manual-therapy foundation can focus on movement organization, rhythm, and review questions rather than simply remembering names. Practical exercises should progress gradually under appropriate, legally compliant professional supervision.
