"What use are your wushu exercises if you concentrate purely on the external? If you wish to be a true Sage of the Tao, you must attend to your breathing, your inner Chi and the energies that move within you."

Overview[edit]

This page is a Lore Sheet for the The Way Of Cultivated Chi, a set of Inner Masteries relating to inner harmony and chi balance.

Because of the nature of some of these techniques, it is worth noting again the general rule that each Kung Fu secret can only be learnt once by a given Individual.
