Yi Xin Gong
This is Combat Yi Xin Gong Quan (意心功拳) free style form and applications. This is a demonstration of the use of Li family Yi Xin Gong Quan (Intention heart skill fist) by John Painter at the 2006 A Taste of China Teachers demonstrations. Yi Xin Gong Quan is the name given to Dr. Painters personal methods of using Yi (意) to produce internal power skill / Nei-gong Jin (內 功勁). Yi Xin Gong was developed by Dr. John Painter from the teachings of the Li families ideas about Yiquan(意拳) or (intention fist) developed by Master Wang, Xiang-Zhai. The art of Yiquan came to prominence in the early 1940's through the efforts of Master Wang. Dr. Painter has not trained directly in the Yiquan lineage. He was taught methods derived from Yiquan by his teacher, Li, Long-dao (李 龍 道) of Sichuan Province China. The methods are similar to the art of Yiquan in many aspects with two major notable exceptions. The first is that Yi Xin Gong Quan uses five base standing forms that are different from Yiquans' basic forms. Second Yi Xin Gong makes use of powerful sense memories and guided imagery first to relax the body and balance the protagonist and antagonist muscles. This is called finding Song (鬆). Next the sense memories are used to energize muscle receptors that train muscle fibers to fire at a rapid rate during standing and movement training even though the practitioner remains apparently relaxed. Dr. Painter has devised a number of different methods of training developed after years of study of neurology, psychology, and human kinetics. He has devised a new and innovative way of training internal power methods using the basic principled of Chinese internal arts blended with modern science and kinetic power development through visualization. Students begin with seated meditation; move to standing forms and then to moving forms and from there to push hands and then equipment and two person and multiple opponent combat tactics. Dr. Painters desire is not to supplant Yiquan or Dachengquan with a new art. His goal through scientific research is to increase the martial communities understanding of the science behind internal power development and how this knowledge can benefit all martial and health practices. Scientific research has shown that the methods employed by Dr. Painter in Yi Xin Gong Quan standing practice actually increase muscular strength, size, speed and power throughout the entire body by the means of visualizations used during the standing practice. All reactions of students in this demonstration are spontaneous and are the result of mind body intention and are not Qi or mystically related to magical prowess of any kind.

Living The Dream
'Living the Dream' is a documentary that I made a couple years ago with my genius collaborator and good buddy, Darrell Gallant. This was one of our more successful projects, and I figured it was about time to dust it off and upload it to YouTube. Enjoy!
