They include instruction in Tui Na, Qi Gong, acupuncture as a method for treating musculoskeletal injuires, and Zheng Gu mobilizations. These courses could be considered the foundation upon which bonesetting as practiced within the tradition described above is done. Tom Bisio and Frank Butler offer a series of courses for martial artists, bodyworkers, and acupuncturists on Chinese Die Da medicine. Bonesetters in this tradition also rely on the internal body mechanics that they have learned through their practice of internal martial arts to accomplish their sets generally jing is used instead of muscular power.
(It could be said, therefore, that in this tradition of bonesetting, soft-tissue work is just as important as the actual set itself.)With respect to its relation to Chinese internal martial arts, the knowledge of Chin Na and throw techniques designed to separate and break bones is a basis for learning how to fix these injuries once they have occured, i.e., "if I can break it, then I can fix it." Often a bonesetter need merely adjust the line upon which he is applying a set to produce a martial art technique, and vice versa: this requires a lot of practice to see and feel the vectors involved and also to build sensitivity to the amount of force required to accomplish the set. In this way, the set "holds" because strains and torsions in the injured soft tissue are less likely to pull the bones out of position again after they have been treated.
With respect to its relation with Chinese medicine, bonesetting is generally performed after extensive Tui Na (massage) application of Chinese herbs, and acupuncture to allign soft tissue such as muscle, ligament, and tendon. In this chaper, Reid contrasts the Taoist orientation of Hong's medicine to the Confucist orientation of another Chinese medicine practitioner, and links Hong's practice to his practice of Chinese internal martial arts.

Tom has also spect extensive time in Taiwan and the PRC training in Chinese internal martial arts, and currently teaches Ba Gua Zhang and Xing Yi Quan, and runs a Chinese medicine clinic, in New York City.īoth Hsu Hong Chi and Hong Yi Xiang were Chinese internal martial arts teachers Hong Yi Xiang was also well known as a doctor of Chinese medicine. His tradition of traditional Chinese bonesetting comes from Vince Black, who learned many of his techniques from Hsu Hong Chi in Taiwan, as well as from his teacher, Hong Yi Xiang.
