Because I am talking about a Chinese art and especially one that is considered a Chinese internal art and in relation to health and long life(very daoist and central to Chinese thought, certain Chinese terms and ideas that are fundamental to the topic are used.) External use of muscle meant by contractions using more force of exertion, vs internal relaxation of the muscle using a released force it is a little difficult to describe this and must be felt.I find this interesting but with the Chinese symbols and strange use of words, somewhat difficult to understand.
can you explain what is an external muscle and what's an internal muscle, I though all muscles were internal, as in, inside the body, or do you mean external muscles are in the arms and legs and internal are the core muscles. A horse stance is always going to require both to support its self.
