referring to over the past few weeks and being forced to abandon the temple where you train because an army is coming to destroy it and possibly kill you or throw you in a prison for practicing it?
That's what happened at the start of the Ming Dynasty. The new emperor decided to ban all martial art practice or face death or severe punishment.
Most of the masters escaped from their monasteries and moved elsewhere training their art underground.
While the emperor's army was busy burning temples and destroying them, masters kept refining their martial art skill by first making sure this secret training I've been referring to was at the highest level.
It was of utmost importance to first strengthen the body by helping it move the chi through the bodies meridian points.
This training works on the chi but also on certain muscles, tendons, internal organs, bones and joints. In short, from deep inside the bone marrow to the outside skin cells.
At the advanced levels this training is also called "the iron vest" where as the practitioner becomes so strong and well protected that you can't be easily injured.
This is only part of the story. This weekend I'll tell you why this secret training system is unknown even within the chinese culture.
Until then,
Master Yourself,

P.S. Are you spending as much time as you should strengthening your chi flow and forging an impenetrable iron shell. These techniques are easy to learn and will give you the missing link in your training.
