Qi Gong #1



What is Qi Gong?
Qi Gong is vital energy that flows within the universe and through every living organism, it is also known as vital breath, energy essence and even considered as hocus pocus by many skeptics. Qi Gong is not a new term, in fact it has been known and utilized for thousands of years in the far East, Indian Yogis used it as another energy source to assist in their meditation and spiritual exercises. Qi Gong has been mostly prominent in Chinese martial arts as almost every style of chinese martial art uses qi gong extensively and one cannot be a true master of the art unless one master the control of vital energy. Punches are punches as kicks are kick, without vital inner energy (Qi Gong) moves will merely be moves without essence.
Qi Gong is suppose to allow martial artists to tap into the unlimited source of universal energy, and this can be done through breathing exercises/methods at a basic level, followed by careful coordination of body movements and meditation to cultivate the mind.
