Qigong (Chi Gung)


Qigong (aka Chi Gung) involves the coordination of specific postures and motions with various breathing patterns. A part of "internal martial arts," it focuses on developing and balancing the energy of the acupuncture system.

While Tai Chi is the most well known of these “internal martial arts", Wing Chun also incorporates these Chinese internal exercises. Over time, these exercises restore skeletal posture much like braces straighten out crooked teeth. Bit by bit, your muscles and other soft tissues of your body assume their ideal length/tension relationships, just as your organs assume their ideal pressure/temperature relationships. Your nervous system relaxes and your body begins to accrue reserves of energy, all leading to a more relaxed and healthier mind and body. While weight training and cardio and other western approaches to health and fitness can maximize your health and fitness based on how much Chi (energy) you presently have, they cannot restore, balance, or build your energy Chi to higher levels. Your level of Chi is the foundation upon which your health and fitness rests. Just like a building, the deeper the foundation the higher the building can rise. This makes the practice of Qigong unique among all other forms of exercise... especially in that even the weak, overweight and sick can practice it to great benefit, which is not the case with other methods.
