Yi Jin Jing: Tendon Transformation Teachings (2016–2020) is a deep dive into the classical Chinese practice of the Sinew/Tendon Changing Classic, delivered through a powerful series of lectures by internal arts expert Damo Mitchell. This 5-lesson video course spans over 4.5 hours and offers both modern insights and traditional context into one of the most revered practices in Daoist and Shaolin Qigong systems.
Yi Jin Jing—translated as “Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic”—is a profound method for strengthening the body from the inside out, revitalizing the connective tissues, and purifying the energetic channels to support long-term internal transformation. Historically linked to Shaolin monks and Daoist hermits alike, this practice is known for cultivating both physical resilience and internal power.
The first lecture in this series, recorded in May 2020, offers a rich overview of the Yi Jin Jing framework as it exists within both Qigong and Neijia (internal martial arts) traditions. Damo explains how tendon transformation techniques intersect with concepts such as meridian theory, internal strength, and energetic refinement.
The remaining four talks, recorded in 2016, delve deeper into the classical roots and internal mechanics of Yi Jin Jing. Damo explores the philosophical origins, health benefits, and nuanced energetic principles behind the practice. These lectures reveal why Yi Jin Jing remains a cornerstone in many high-level internal training systems and how it can be integrated into modern practice effectively.
