HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Natural School, or Ziranmen, is one of the most enigmatic and effective branches of Chinese internal martial arts. Founded by the legendary Du Xinwu, known as the Magic Kick, the system emphasizes spontaneity and the cultivation of Internal Power over rigid forms. This DVD features Master Qin Jin, the 4th-generation heir and adopted son of Master Du Feihu, who presents the highly guarded curriculum of the Inner Eight Subtle Foot Skills (Nei Cang Ba Shi). Historically, these techniques were the most closely guarded secrets of the school, seldom exposed to outsiders. They represent the peak of Ziranmen's kicking arsenal, designed to neutralize opponents with clinical precision and unpredictable movement. This volume preserves the authentic lineage methods used to master the lower body's Internal Power for high-stakes combat.
TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY
The technical philosophy of Ziranmen footwork is centered on the concept of 'Hidden Subtlety.' Unlike external styles that rely on large, telegraphic movements, the Inner Eight Subtle Foot Skills are designed to be 'hidden in the dark,' making them impossible for an opponent to anticipate. The core principle is 'Hand and Foot Follow Each Other,' ensuring that every kick is supported by a diversionary or complementary hand movement. The philosophy emphasizes 'Looking one way and rowing another,' a tactical deception that disrupts the opponent's focus. Master Qin Jin demonstrates that true mastery comes from the fusion of intent (Yi) and technical fluidity, allowing the practitioner to respond to any threat with a spontaneous and overwhelming counter-attack.
BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS
Biomechanically, the Subtle Foot Skills require exceptional structural alignment and kinetic chain efficiency. Master Qin Jin provides a deep analysis of how to generate focused power from the Dantian and transmit it through the legs without preparatory tension. The training emphasizes the coordination of the 'Six Harmonies,' ensuring that the strike is supported by the entire body's mass. The 'Elusive' nature of the kicks is achieved through the articulation of the hips (Kua) and the use of the 'Spring Body' mechanics. This neigong-based approach ensures that the practitioner develops a refined sense of balance and proprioception, essential for launching high-velocity strikes from awkward angles while maintaining a stable center of gravity.
PRACTICE AND APPLICATION
This DVD provides a systematic breakdown of the Inner Eight Subtle Foot Skills technical routine. Master Qin Jin explains the Form & Applications of each of the eight tricks, detailing the exact timing and angle required for maximum efficacy. The training includes drills for developing the 'Electrical Charge' (Ti Ru Guo Dian) required for effective combat discharge. By practicing these authentic lineage skills, students gain a versatile set of tools for high-level self-defense and Internal Power cultivation. The instruction is designed to help the practitioner achieve a state of martial excellence where every movement is elusive, overwhelming, and perfectly aligned with the natural laws of combat.

Biographical Profile: Qin Jin
4th Generation Successor of the Ziranmen (Natural Style) Lineage
Qin Jin is a dedicated martial artist and a recognized successor in the 4th generation of the Ziranmen lineage. Representing the continued evolution of this practical internal system, he has focused his life’s work on the rigorous study and transmission of the methods passed down from the school’s pioneering masters. He is known within the martial arts community for his focus on maintaining the technical purity of Ziranmen while ensuring its relevance for contemporary practitioners.
Martial Arts Background: Mastery of Spontaneous Mechanics
Qin Jin’s background is defined by the unique training protocols of the Natural Style, which eschew traditional fixed forms in favor of developing instinctive movement. His training involved a deep immersion in the "Five Pillars" of Ziranmen and the foundational "Circle Walking" exercises designed to cultivate a highly responsive and unified body structure. He has mastered the art of generating power through natural relaxation, focusing on the ability to transition from total stillness to explosive movement without telegraphing intent.
Legacy and Contribution: Modern Education and Technical Continuity
As a 4th generation successor, Qin Jin has been instrumental in bridging the gap between traditional monastic-style training and modern martial arts education. He has dedicated himself to clarifying the technical requirements of the lineage, making the often-abstract concepts of Ziranmen more accessible through structured teaching methods. By mentoring a diverse range of students and participating in technical exchanges, he has worked to ensure that the "Methodless Method" remains a coherent and effective system for future generations.
Artistic Style: Minimalist Efficiency and Adaptive Power
His style is characterized by the hallmark Ziranmen principle of "following the opponent's movement." His practice is devoid of theatrical or ornamental gestures, focusing instead on minimalist efficiency and structural integrity. In his demonstrations, one can observe a style that is fluid and unassuming, yet capable of sudden, high-pressure strikes. His approach reflects the core philosophy of the lineage: a return to the natural state of the body, where every motion is spontaneous, functional, and perfectly aligned with the demands of the moment.
