One Spirit

The Spirit is the third integral piece of what makes a martial artist. The Spirit is a vast energy source within the body that commonly said to be the origin of conciousness, intelligence and life itself. It can direct thoughts, feelings, moods, personality, understanding, stamina, strength etc. This great energy, often referred to as Qi(Ch'i), can be harnessed through numerous techniques, i.e. meditation, qigong(breathing exersises), the practicing of Nèijiā(internal martial arts) etc. In most martial arts, the proper connection with and use of the Spirit is quintessential and emphasized in training. Therefore, the Youn Wha Ryu system utilizes the previosly mentioned methods to strengthen the martial artist's connection with his/her Spirit. Once this has been completed, the practitioner has attained true Oneness within him/herself.
