It is integrated by Dr. Paul C. Wang based on the essence of martial, medical, and mystical lineages, concepts, and practices.

Gong Fa has inner and outer aspects that can be applied to your daily life:

Internal cultivation (Nei Gong Fa 內功法) hones your intention, emotion, action via individual training in standing, sitting, sleeping, strolling states.
External cultivation (Wai Gong Fa 外功法) tones your muscle, tendon, bone via partner training in linear, circular, spiral, global flows.
