“TUINA”,
“CHI
STREET” & “FOUR
SEAS”
IN“MARTIAL
ARTS TREATMENT”
International
Martial Arts Medical University – Feng Mei Oct., 04, 2007
“Martial Arts Treatment” refers to martial
artists’ use of Kungfu, acupressure and Tuina techniques to help the patients
with “Chi” circulation in the channels and collaterals and to open up the
blood circulation. This is a medical treatment method that helps normalize the
patient’s metabolism. On the principle of
“pain means obstruction and no pain means good circulation”, various techniques
are used to stimulate the patient’s various acupoints. After a period of
interaction, the passive exercise performed on the patient will gradually become
an active exercise and thereby achieving the purpose of changing the body from
the state of unhealthiness to healthiness.
“Acupressure” therapy dredges the channels and collaterals by putting pressure
on acupoints. This helps regulate qi and blood, nurse the functions of
internal organs, support the healthy energy
to eliminate evils through “acupressure” and thereby achieve prevention and
treatment of illness. In terms of modern medicine, acupressure treatment
can regulate the function of nervous system and thereby achieve the suppression
of pain and enhance body movement.
“Tuina” therapy helps preventing illness
through generation of “soreness, numbness, swollenness, pain, coolness, hotness”
feelings. Tuina therapy uses hand or other limbs to massage “acupoints”,
“channels and collaterals” to help creating vital energies. These vital
energies then travel along the channels and collaterals in an orderly fashion to
provide effective stimulation, and then are converted into factors that help
preventing and treating illness and thereby achieve an equilibrium of Yin and
Yang, and regulate the blood and qi, dispel Wind and remove Dampness, warm
Channels to dispel Cold, invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis,
and reduce swelling and ease pain.
“CHI STREET”
IS A PATHWAY THAT CHI PASSES THROUGH. IT INCLUDES FOUR PATHS:
I.
Head Chi Street where
Chi congregates at the brain;
II.
Chest Chi Street where
Chi congregates at the lungs in the chest and at Lung Shu point;
III.
Abdomen Chi Street where Chi congregates at Bei-Shu points (Liver, Spleen, and
Kidney shu points)and the Chong Channel;
IV.
Leg Chi Street where
Chi congregates at Chengshan point and the upper and lower anklebone.
(Moreover,
the three yang channels of the extremities travel to the Head Chi Street, the
three yin channels of the hands travel to the Chest Chi Street, and the three
yin channels of the feet travel to the Abdomen Chi Street.)
“Four Seas”
refers to the coming together of Chi from twelve regular channels like the water
on mother earth. The final place of gathering is called “SEAS” WHICH INCLUDE
THE FOLLOWING FOUR SEAS:
I.
Brain is called the
“Sea of Medulla”. Located on top of its key point is GV20 and on the bottom is
GV16.
II.
Shanzhong is called the
“Sea of Chi”. Located behind its key point is GV14 and before it is ST9.
III.
Stomach is called the
sea of food and nutrients. On top of its key point is ST30 and below it is
ST36.
IV.
Chong Channel is the
sea of Chi and blood of twelve regular channels and is also called the sea of qi
and blood of five viscera and six bowels. On top of its key point is BL11 and
below it is ST37, 39.
The “Four
Seas” dominate the circulation of Chi and blood in the human body.
(Moreover:
The circulation of channels Chi reaches as high as the upper jiao, that is the
chest and also the Shanzhong point (CV17) to generate the sea of Chi. In the
middle, the circulation of channels Chi reaches the central jiao, also called
the upper abdomen or stomach to generate the sea of nutrients. The circulation
of channels Chi reaches as low as the lower jiao, also called the lower abdomen
or the Chong Channel to generate the sea of Chi and blood of twelve regular
channels and the original Chi between the kidneys.)
Clinical
Application: Through the use of tonification and removal (Bu-Xie) technique to
beat, Tuina and press the key points of “Chi Street” and “Four Seas” can unblock
the channels and collaterals, clear Chi and blood, and this has a special effect
on middle and old-aged patients who suffer from apoplexy and partial paralysis.
The method is as follows:
1. For head
apoplexy and paralysis, knocks and hits on the patient’s GV20, and presses the
patient’s GV16 and GB20.
2. For chest
apoplexy and paralysis, presses the patient’s CV17, GV14, ST9 and BL13.
3. For abdomen
apoplexy and paralysis, knocks on the patient’s ST36, gently rubs the patient’s
ST30 and BL18, 20 and 23.
4.
For lower abdomen and lower limbs apoplexy and paralysis, knocks on the
patient’s BL11, GV 4, ST37 and 39 along with BL57, KI3, 6, BL60, 62.
5. For
full-body apoplexy and paralysis, Tuina and massage the various points of “Chi
Street” and “Four Seas”.
CASE
EXAMPLES:
CASE 1: Mr.
Chen, 64 years old, suddenly fell down due to
excessive drinking three years ago. He began to have
symptoms of
apoplexy with lower
left
body paralysis.
He had difficulty walking.
When he first arrived at the Center, he
had to push and walk
with crutches on both hands.
After I have
given him therapy
for one year on the key points of “Chi Street” and
“Four Seas”, he was
gradually able to walk with one single crutch
and then
gradually he was able to walk
ten steps without a crutch. The patient is still under treatment.
CASE 2: Ms.
Guo, 60 years old, fell down six months ago
when the bus she was riding on suddenly stopped.
She hit her head and went into coma and began
to have symptoms of apoplexy.
In order words, she had facial paralysis and her two legs were in the state of
catalepsy and unable to move.
She had to
push and walk with crutches on
both hands. After I have given her therapy for two months on the key points of
“Chi Street” and “Four Seas”, she was
gradually able to walk with
one single crutch. Now she is able to walk freely without crutches.
CASE 3:
Ms.
Wei,
75 years
old,
had suffered from
protrusion of
intervertebral disc
and sciatica
for a long time.
The
pain
hurt
like hell. She
was unable
to
walk
upright and had to push and walk with
crutches on
both hands. After I have given
her treatment for three months
on the key points of “Chi Street”
and
“Four Seas”, the pain that she was
suffering obviously alleviated or went away. She can now walk upright
without crutches without any problem.
ATTENTION:
1.
Therapy using various degree of Bu/Xie
(Tonification
/
Removal) technique must be
proceeded based on the physique, age and gender of the patient.
2.
Sectional therapy on the key points targeting
at sectional pathological changes shall be performed.
3. Effective
functional exercises must also be used to prove the alleviation and recovery of
the patient’s symptoms.
4. Other
physiotherapy using warmer, hot pack and other lamp method must be used in
concert with the therapy.
DISCUSSION:
The
first two of the above three cases are
patients who suffered from full body
comprehensive symptoms.
Tuina and massage must be
applied on various points of
“Chi Street” and
“Four Seas” on
paralyzed sections. The
latter case required
pressing
stimulation of various degree on
“Chi Street”
of the
leg area and the various
points on Chong Channel along with
circular jump points. This can quickly
disperse
“qi” to the spine and its nerve center
to
cause nerve conduction in the spinal nerve control
area. Through the traveling of nerve fibers from the
various parts of the body to the
superior central
nervous
system, the sensor signals in various
levels of the central nervous system will be regulated and
controlled subsequently, and then
integrated to
restore body movement function and create pain suppressing effect.

Discussion:
So
we understand “Zi Wu Liu Zhu” is very powerful in martial arts fighting.
But, right now human being is into outer
time space age, nearly distance attack
is not enough for new generation human
being, and to catch the best time space is the key to win the fighting.
“Zi Wu Liu Zhu” give us a very good enlightening guidance,
that is human being has biology clock for control the body energy field ( Qi
field) that is time space,
and also effective his attack speed, power and direction in fighting. if
we can send biology energy electric(Qi) into the enemy’s body ( “Zi Wu
Liu Zhu” points) to disturb his time
space, and make his attack time space from fast space time to slow
space time even time space stop, and during that time space field, we can
attack or defense to win the fighting.
For example the Tai Chi is a kind of slow active movement it can make enemy
into a slower space time and help to win the fighting.
