Qigong Introduction

The introduction of Qi Gong
 Qi Gong is an ancient form of Chinese meditation. The characters Qi and Gong have multiple translation, nevertheless in this context they can be translated as "energy work", with the implication being you are training to control your Qi.
 It is based on the concept of becoming aware and manipulating the Qi in your body to reach a desired effect e.g. healing an injury. Used for both medical and health purposes, it is also used by martial artists to complement their kungfu. Most modern Qi Gong is now a mixture between Daoist & Buddhist energy cultivation practises which combine movement with meditition.
 All kungfu makes use of energy training to develop internal force, without which it remains purely external and overly mechanical, a characteristic considered rough and inferior by high level martial artists. Kungfu training complemented with Qi Gong enhances harmonious chi flow, thus promoting health, vitality and longevity.
 Those who place a large emphasis on the practise of Qi Gong will be able to build up to doing "Hard Qi Gong" demonstrations. Through the manipulation of the Qi in your body, the mastering of your breath and the conditioning of your body, you can expect to perform incredible feats, such as break marble with your hands or split bricks over your head.
