Back in the days, martial art practicioners trained many of the different aspects of martial art forms. Martial arts involves the use of energy in human bodies - whether it'd be kinetic or raw energy, and even inner energy. Powerful force that are unseen by most human eyes produced by human bodies in its harmony and correlation with nature and continuous development of such forces and energy.
Qing gong is similar to Qi gong in regards to it's use of existing internal energy, its hard to pin point such energy. Qing gong is the technique of mastering body balance, centre of gravity, speed and control of body with the use of internal energy (and mind) to allow it in becoming as if it is lighter. Masters of Qing gong can tranfer their centre of gravities and body balance allowing htem to run at a much faster speed, jump higher, scale walls, walk lightly and et cetera.
One story of a master showing the skill of Qinggong was how he walked towards the shore on a sandy beach to fulfill a challenge to fight. His challenger who has been waiting for him on the beach, watched as the master walked towards him, he noticed that there are no foot prints left on the soft sand where the master had walked on. Realising the skill of the master, the challenger lost his desire to fight and withdrew the challenge.
There are numerous techniques of practicing and perfecting Qinggong, many ways that has yet to be heard by many people. Some of the more popular and most used practices to develop Qinggong and lightness skill is to contantly jump to a higher ground (this is a normal way of trying to jump higher and increase height) This can be done by digging a hole, putting on sand weights and jump. Particular exercises that strengthens the calf and achilies. Running up wodden board planks placed againts a wall and increasing the degree of steepness. Walk around a large basket that can hold your weight, first start by placing sand in the basket, slowly reducing it as you circle the basket with two feet.
Meditation is also an important part of Qinggong, just like any martial art and other activities, mental focus and development is a must.
