 We can all pretty much make large circular movements using arms and legs. Classical Tai Chi is a small frame/small circle; the mechanics of a slight circular movement shows one can reach every angle and reach it faster. It reminds me of putting a Porsche engine in a BMW. It is because of those smaller circles of internal moves and the establishment of neural/energy pathways. The question is: "Qi? What Qi?" If one has no energy/neural pathway established by physical internal discipline, there is no Qi. As his senior student of 20 years, I know from Tuishou with him that he can move in 3 dimensions, reaching all angles. Smaller circles mean being able to push along the x, y, and z-axis. I never got that in 20 years previous Tai Chi. I can assure any martial artist that working with his Neigong lessons ensures you get Neijin. "internal work/discipline = Internal energy ." A bonus is that your internal physical movements get smaller, "tighter," and smaller circles can cover all angles, which is not available with the large movement of external training.
