Here's the biggest scammer I ever read. Ah, internal chop suey with baloney, please. Neijia With BJJ, Kali, Ting Jing, and purest BS of all. No wonder everyone mocks the Neijia arts. Good going Chris Mc Kinley, I'll be sure to laugh when I hear your name. So. it's a bit of BJJ, Kali, Ting Jing to sound cool but can you fight is all I want to know? I mean do you play with Barbie Dolls when doing your Ting Jing or what? LMAO!
The IMA concepts are something that, at this point in my development, I just naturally make a part of literally every physical endeavor I get involved in, whether martial art, recreational sport, or doing chores around the house. As such, I see opportunity to apply the neijia principles to both BJJ and Kali. Ting Jing, or listening skill, is IMO an essential and even unavoidable skill which is developed in BJJ, for example. Kali has long idealized the development of "flow" in one's practice, which includes a significant ability to "read" the opponent's intent and to blend with his motion, especially when weapons are in play at full speed.
IMO, neither of those arts make a comprehensive study of these principles in as exhaustive and nuanced a manner as do the neijia. However, this is frequently offset by the observation that the level of development that practitioners of BJJ and Kali DO have in such principles is typically more functional and "pressure-tested" than that of the typical neijia practitioner, at least in the U.S.
