China's Mystical All-Purpose Art: Qigong


Qigong (July 1995) Qigong is the art of harnessing the force that is said to give nature its pattern. Subscribe to Journeyman here:  
 
 
Millions of Chinese get out of bed for it every morning. A qualified physiotherapist uses it to treat her patients. People break bricks in half with it. And it's more dedicated followers believe that it can help beat cancer. Followers believe that Qigong energy can be transferred from one person to another. They say that mice infused with Qigong energy can swim longer than mice without it. In China mass healings are carried out using the energy. There is no doubt Qigong keeps its followers fit and healthy. And although there is scepticism about its more tenuous abilities, for millions of Chinese, Qigong works.

Wudang Neijiaquan is an exquisite traditional boxing method that integrates martial arts and self-cultivation. It belongs to Wudang martial arts. There are martial arts characteristics that use static braking, softness to overcome rigidity, four or two to dial a 
thousand catties, and the first to come first; there are also martial 
arts styles that move like clouds and flowing water, continuous, 
rigid and soft, and contain but not revealed. 
 
It has the unique effects of inspiring potential, invigorating wisdom, invigorating the human body, strengthening the body, curing diseases, and prolonging life. It is the crystal of Chinese martial arts and the treasure of Eastern culture. 
 
Taijiquan does not refer to the simple taijiquan routines that you 
see, but a combination of three different levels of martial arts and exercises, namely, Liangyi, Taichi, and Promise. From outside to inside, from movement to static, from the outside to the inside, from the movement to the stillness. Beginner to advanced level, combine dynamic and static, and practice a complete exercise method both internally and externally.
