You cannot have internal without the external. Um/Yang. You cannot have external without the internal. People like to pigeon hole things into neat categories. But in reality, most things are not of one category. Many things are difficult categorize because they incorporate characteristics from often seemingly mutually exclusive paradigms.

Tendon and bone are made from collagen, a liquid crystal, triple helix molecule , and the most abundant protein in the mammal kingdom. It conducts light, electricity, transduces mechancial stress into electrical energy. As energy passes through a liquid crystal, the crystal EXTENDS and TWISTS/SPIRALS. It also has the tendency to ALIGN itself with external MAGNETIC FIELD. Practice chi-kung/nei-kung correctly and consistantly and you will feel this as I have. Remember use minimal muscle and use your structure together as one unit, EXTEND. As one does certain chi-kung practices your structure will free itself of conductive resistances, your bones and tendons will become denser, conducting more energy. Building bone is a slower process than building muscle, but like muscle building, requires consistant practice.

The question is " How do you move your body?". There are many styles of internal martial arts. Although the techniques may vary, they train and move the body the same way. Stay connected, keep the opponent off balance, and control. If your art is complete, then there is not a need to learn another except to know your opponent. Studing internal martial arts since 1983.

Internal training for general health, vitality and cultivation of energy. And External training for practical unarmed combat. (ie. mma, full contact, muay thai etc.) That way you get the best of both worlds. Why not train in both.
