Welcome to Internal Martial Arts Federation of NY! Internal Martial Arts Federation (IMAF) is a NY-based community for people serious about learning the power of qi, and laying solid foundation in Chinese medicine, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and other internal martial arts. The emphasis of the Chinese nei jia quan (internal school of martial arts) has been, and remains to this day, the harnessing of qi (internal energy) for overall health and for self-defense. This approach forms the foundation of both the health-nourishing, and the self defense aspects of internal arts, and IMAF. This foundation offers a platform for balanced development of the mind and body by training forms, tai chi and qi gong exercises, as well as developing expertise with a wide variety of fighting techniques. The theories and practice methods of the internal martial arts are congruent with the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, which will enable students with a body of knowledge to apply Chinese medicine as a natural tool for preserving and promoting health. The Internal Martial Arts Federation website will act as a resource, providing information on various aspects of the Chinese internal martial arts, qi gong, and other health exercises as well practical information on traditional Chinese medicine. We seek to make these arts and essential exercises accessible to everyone who is willing to put in the time and effort to learn their correct application. We encourage you to explore the site and available resources. Incoming search terms:
