Internal Arts refer to a category of martial arts that emphasize mental focus, breathing techniques, and the cultivation of internal energy, or Qi. Unlike external martial arts, which prioritize physical strength and speed, Internal Arts focus on developing a deep connection between the mind and body. Common forms of Internal Arts include Tai Chi, Qigong, and Bagua Zhang. Practitioners often engage in slow, deliberate movements that promote relaxation, balance, and mindfulness. These practices are not only used for self-defense but also for improving overall health and well-being.
