The Importance of Internal Training

All my students have some kind of background that I can think of in external martial arts or external combat. They're all doing alchemy, they'll all do a bit of Tai Chi, but their mainstay is to build those qualities into themselves. The ability to remain stoic and centered while sustaining your kindness and your decency are huge. That's a huge thing for a human being to achieve. And I think having those qualities translates across on some kind of subtle level to skill at the level of the internal arts as well.
