Loading ...What do you feel when you practise Qigong? There are so many answers. Sometimes you will feel warm, tingling feelings, sometimes you will feel emotional and maybe feel like crying. Sometimes you might even feel like laughing. Some people will say they feel peaceful, more aware of the Qi (read What is Qi and how to feel your own energy ball?) flowing inside the body, pulsing and some people will even see colours, pictures, people, scenery and even smell things.
There are so many different feelings. When you practise movement, we usually feel good, warm and the breathing is very deep. Sometimes though, you might feel stiff or ache. This is quite normal because when you move, you open your body up and allow the Qi to flow all around it and find any problems you might have. It is like water washing the dirt out of your clothes. Qi cleans up the internal organs and even your joints, muscles, skin and bones. Qigong is like giving your body a good service, the same you do with your car. If you always maintain your body and keep it in good condition how can you not be healthy? This is one area that Western medicine misses and is going in the wrong direction. (more…)

Dayan Qigong, was found in the year of 385, is one of the deepest and most profound internal meditative practices in the world. Each step follows closely to the movement of the Wild Goose (Dayan) in the nature. Dayan Qigong smoothly opens the 108 acupuncture points, along with all channel and organs in the body.
It used to be a secret arts and was passed only inside a family from generation to generation until the Grandmaster Yang Meijun began to teach it into public, at the age of 73, to preserve this very valuable skill (Read more at History of the 106 Year Old Grandmaster Yang Meijun (Dương Mai Quân) and Dayan Wild Goose Qigong (Đại nhạn khí công) ).

Many years ago a family lived in a part of Beijing, China. The family consisted of a little 13 year old girl, her parents and her seventy year old grandfather, Yang Tak Shan. They all relied on the money her father made pulling a rickshaw. Life was very simple, but they were all happy. One day Yang Tak Shan took his grand daughter Yang Meijun to While Flower Temple. When they were inside he set up some joss sticks and told her to kneel and pray to Kuan Yin (Quan Âm), the female Buddha. Then he said to her: “You are the twenty seventh inheritor of the Kunlun Dayan Qigong system”.
He took out eight copper wild geese from his bag. Each one was performing a vivid movement: flying up, drinking water, scratching its leg, sleeping, etc. He showed these to his young grand daughter and told her to follow the movements of the wild geese when she learned Qigong. (more…)

In martial arts, we know that holding a strong stance is extremely vital, especially in a fight or confronting a grappler (Jiujitsu style for example). Rooting Technique is a method of develop your external body coordination and internal balance of Yin and Yang to withstand any strong force. It does not mean holding a low stance and having strong legs. This clip is a nice demonstration of a Taiji Master Chen Xiaowang on Rooting Technique. Unfortunately I could not understand Chinese to translate the audio part, it’d be great if someone does. (more…)

The one inch punch is a martial art technique, was once performed by Bruce Lee at Long Beach in the year 1964 and gained Lee fame. We are not Lee and we may not have that Hulk’s power to actually do it in any way. However, it is not difficult to execute the technique if you learn the basic elements of how it works. I feel quite guilty to walk you through such unethical trick, but a technique is still a technique and if it looks good in both form and movements, why shouldn’t we take a look at it?
If everyone thinks they are right, there will never be peace
