Inner work on yourself. Inner style of horting
The internal style of combat horting is suitable for people who already have extensive experience in physical training, have studied and know their capabilities well, know how to work with themselves, have reached a certain level in the social sphere and in the sphere of self-knowledge, are sufficiently aware and able to open up, who would like to look deeper into themselves and open up new horizons. Training using the methods of the internal style is intended for deeper advancement through combat horting, knowing themselves and others, mastering new methods of working with themselves to work out deep subconscious personal complexes and character qualities. At the initial stage, the techniques of the internal style are performed in a distributed manner, which allows the student to continuously monitor their own stability, and allows the instructor to assess how correctly the students understand the health-improving techniques of combat horting and point out their mistakes in a timely manner. At the subsequent stages of training, students are allowed to perform the techniques at their own pace, achieving the smoothness of execution characteristic of the internal style of combat horting. But only the desire to practice independently is the main driving force within the students' self-consciousness, which makes their psyche fertile for understanding the meaning of the methods of the internal style of martial horting for self-improvement, self-education and self-knowledge. Training in martial horting is not just a set of physical and mental exercises, but also classes on working with consciousness to learn how to relax and concentrate. One of the definitions that we periodically use, and in which a considerable part of the concept is invested, sounds very simple: "Martial art is the art of understanding one's capabilities". But the introduction of mystery into the meaning of martial arts is characteristic of many modern representatives of society who practice these arts. Such pathos works as a tool for creating a combat curtain and is one of the tools for conducting a conversational duel against everyone and everything, revealing a state of eternal fear within the theorist. It is a true criterion and an indication of the lack of the necessary qualities to comprehend the true essence of martial arts. The subconscious functions as a repository of knowledge and past experience. The data stored in the subconscious form consciousness. It is necessary to prevent the penetration of any negative data into our subconscious.
We must always expand positive energy in order to live our lives with a positive attitude towards martial arts and the world around us in general. Otherwise, martial arts will resemble a technology for using negative energies and motivations, leading to conflicts and the manifestation of uncontrolled flows of forces, which is realized in the irresistible desire of guys to inflict physical harm on each other and cause pain, in order to convince the opponent of their own rightness and superiority of their ideological position. That is, we naturally periodically find ourselves in such states, from which it follows that it is necessary to clarify the relationship with the use of force, both moral and physical. Because a normal person undoubtedly wants to learn to show his intelligence in all processes, where he is involved by the will of fate. On the other hand, combat horting is not only a martial art, it is a way to think quickly and deeply. Since there has been a very aggressive environment for a long time, which as a basic background runs through all situations of natural communication of people, initially not connected with each other by any predetermined types of ties, a certain number of people involved in the environment of such communication master the first power skills of resolving conflicts in their favor, after which they begin to logically direct their thoughts for further development. That is, having mastered the basics of combat techniques, they begin to look for answers to questions of a different level that arose in the process of learning these techniques. But in the process of learning martial arts, a change in the psychological structure necessarily occurs, which can go in two directions: positive and destructive.
Positive development lies in the sphere of understanding what is happening and suggests that a fight is, in fact, a martial art, in which communication is also carried out in a certain form. Like all other processes that involve the active involvement of people, communication can be carried out correctly and incorrectly. For correct communication in conditions of increased tension of the environment, to which a duel belongs, the participant must have a set of motivational attitudes that allow him at any moment of the process to adequately respond to the environment not only with external actions, but also with internal movements. Because internal awareness of what is happening is a very important element, full understanding forms the achievement of the result - victory. It should be noted that the main guideline for creating the correct motivational attitudes for various practices in the martial tradition is the philosophy of martial horting.
In the martial horting tradition, there are two main directions of martial arts - internal and external. Although this division is to some extent conditional, nevertheless, it describes a very important criterion for the affiliation of any school of combat horting or a person to one of these directions. The main criterion in this case is the orientation of efforts to change the environment of conscious sensations. If efforts to change oneself, in connection with the goal of achieving perfection in duel techniques, are aimed at the external shell and achieving an adequate body reaction in the conditions of a duel with an external opponent, then such a school refers to the external style. If students are engaged in the study of combat and cultural traditions, the heritage of combat horting, cultivating internal qualities that should ensure a correct understanding of the combat environment and lead to adequate behavior in conditions of conflict with external reality, which is not necessarily expressed in physical contact between opponents, then this school can be attributed to the internal style of combat horting.
Simply put, if during the training the muscles were primarily controlled, achieving ever greater strength and speed of movements, and the ease of movement of the attacker's body in space was associated with the fitness of the body, then such a direction is external. The purpose of such training is to achieve the ability to cope with any physical opponent using the physical means of combat horting. Under the internal direction of the school, the greatest value is breathing, health exercises, psychophysical methods of therapeutic physical culture and massage, which are the internal driving force of all movements of consciousness, and the external movement of the physical body is considered only as a consequence of the movement of breathing.
Everyone has their own reasons for engaging in combat horting. Some people simply want to get rid of excess weight, while women want to become more attractive. Internal work using the combat horting method will help a person improve their health, improve coordination of movements, gain peace of mind and resistance to mental stress, self-confidence, learn to control not only their body, but also their emotions, and understand their capabilities much more deeply.
Of course, it is impossible to say with one hundred percent categoricality that any school is completely internal or external. But traditionally, several trends are distinguished that are considered internal. These include, first of all, health-improving trends. There are a large number of external schools - these are ordinary clubs and sections of combat horting. Among them, there are many very interesting trends that carry the core of internal trends, but now we will consider in more detail the purpose and principles of internal schools. Having an undoubted applied orientation of combat horting as a technology of self-defense and hand-to-hand combat, they are very productive models for building systems of a holistic lifestyle, using the motivational energy of rivalry.
Conflicts arise between people that require resolution in one way or another. In some situations, this leads to the need to use force, both physical and moral, to cope with an abnormal situation and direct a person to the path of self-improvement. In this case, the everyday definition of a fight is brought to the level of a duel, and a duel appears to be a certain concept that describes not only the local aspect of relations in which the conflicting parties try to reach mutual understanding by touching each other with different parts of the body. After all, in principle, a duel is an attempt to prove the superiority of spiritual strength, that is, the quality of consciousness over physical fitness. Even if the latter is a very indicative factor of a fighter, it still remains only a means of proving the superiority of the quality of the spirit over the strength of the body.
In the concept of the internal school of combat horting, the general life of a person is initially viewed as a duel, as a confrontation between two basic forces, which can be defined as attention and perception. In consciousness, these two parts represent the process of gathering and scattering of the primordial force, which is defined as the universal breath of time. External interactions in this case are only a reflection of internal processes.
Therefore, martial horting as a martial art is a metaphor by which ideas are transferred, meanings and knowledge are transferred from one individual to another – from teacher to student. Many followers of martial horting are primarily driven by a similar motivation, that is, the desire to achieve a higher understanding of the essence of all processes, in the source of which there is a primordial confrontation of two forces – positive qualities and thoughts with negative ones. The study of the properties and qualities of these two forces through the body, breath and spirit is the essence of all exercises that are included in the system of training of the internal direction – the internal teaching of martial horting.
A person who is engaged in the internal style has as an object, to achieve identity with which he strives – this is the image of the master of martial horting, the bearer of ideal properties, qualities, actions and states. Through gradual training, he transforms the structure of his space of consciousness in such a way that, having abandoned everyday normal egoism, he comes to the suprapersonal level of a master. In principle, the feeling of an ideal essence is present in every student, and with the help of a system of metaphors, a gradual transfer, or, more precisely, a manifestation of the properties inherent in this ideal, occurs.
The understanding of the internal system of combat horting implies the principle that each action not only has an applied meaning, but is also a carrier of a higher symbol - it has a positive or negative. The internal direction of work in combat horting can rather be called a system of self-education, self-defense and recovery based on combat horting techniques, than a separate section of martial art created on historical traditions. This style is characterized by both its effectiveness and its flexibility. A huge number of combinations and simple transitions from one technique to another allow the use of certain elements depending on the specific situation and the individual characteristics of those who practice. According to this method, a single breath, a single force, is born from emptiness and absence. This single force of breath is primary in all processes of the tangible world, moving against the flow of perception of time as a cyclical reality of everyday consciousness. Time has no power over an aspiring person. However, this force of breathing is not a dead force, it is a living reality – a hidden mechanism that sets life in motion in consciousness. This mechanism is called the true, unifying force of health-improving breathing, which precedes the entire learning process. Therefore, in a certain form, attention and perception are gathered, control over the process of creation and dissolution of the tangible world is established, the circulation of forces is traced by the concentration and dispersion of energy. Training according to the methods of the internal direction of combat horting gives an increased effect when practicing outdoors. Independent classes in the fresh air in energy places are an opportunity to relieve the stresses of everyday life, restore health, visit unique energy natural places of power and feel all the joy of being. Practicing under the rays of the rising and setting sun, a person will open the way to the source of his strength and intuition, find harmony with himself and the world, learn to understand and feel himself and the world. The forces of nature help a person to significantly extend the life span of his life on earth by the methods of the health direction of martial horting. We are used to worrying and being nervous for no reason. Nervousness causes blood vessels to contract, making it difficult for harmful impurities to leave the body, thereby making the body susceptible to diseases. Relaxation is truly the elixir of life. It is necessary to learn to use the correct method of relaxation, which will give us the opportunity to meet every day with a feeling of the gentle breath of spring. If a person masters this, he will not need to be nervous and worried in everyday life.
The fact that a student who was engaged in solving his private problems, which became the motives that led him to the master, is placed in a system of transcendental values, which requires him to have relationships with higher aspects of reality. The student should be grateful to the universe for giving him a teacher and teachings. Next, there is a gradual construction of a structure of connections from the physical apparatus, expressed in sensations, to conceptual structures and concepts, which gradually change the type of movement of the physical body, slow down movements, and all this contributes to the spiritual growth of a person.
Ultimately, any movement of the physical body is perceived as movement in the universe, the movement of consciousness. Because the universe in this concept represents a higher form of consciousness or the highest potential boundary of the tangible world of consciousness. In addition, through a system of requirements for compliance with behavioral norms, the ability to apply these principles in everyday communication with other people is gradually cultivated. The starting point of body movement is that the transition from rest to health-improving harmonious movement is taken as a model. You cannot lean forward, you cannot lean back. This completely metaphorical construction means that in all communication situations it is necessary to maintain balance, not moving forward or slowing down. You cannot lean left and right when communicating, you cannot frown at a person, or turn left and right during a conversation. You need to be in order, but not spread out with the flow. You need to stand, concentrating in the center, and not lean on anything. There should not be the slightest distortion or deviation from the middle in the body, and there should not be a single note of angry breathing in the heart. The heart should be in unity with the intention-thought. And when you have decided what to do, do it purposefully, quickly, and without hesitation. Whatever is on the way to the goal, go over, bypass, go around - but move. Moving, look at the goal through the obstacle.
Thought is not the carrier of words, which is customary in our type of understanding of the world. Thought is the sound of the heart, and not the external form of this sound in the form of spoken things, necessary for the correction of motivational flows for modern man. Thought is in combination with the power of breathing. And the power of breathing is in combination with physical strength. These are the three connections that conduct the tape of self-knowledge and self-improvement from the mental through the health-improving, and to the absolutely physical - to the highest forms of sports training. And if in the initial form there are even the slightest distortions in the heart, then over time this will lead to huge deviations. The path generates the power of a single breath. The single breath in this case is all the life activity of a person. From the power of a single breath, a person’s perception of the world is born. Attention and perception are one, creating a person’s view of many objects. Such a simple metaphorical model allows you to apply yourself in relation to any aspects of situational interaction with the world both inside and outside. It is this opportunity – the opportunity, through work with the body, bodily practice, to control your own tool for a plausible and active understanding of the world, to solve the problems of interpersonal communication among people, which bears all the signs of the battlefield, and is attractive to most people who are engaged in the internal direction of combat horting.
