1. Introduction :
- Qigong (or ch'i kung) is an internal Chinese meditative practice with over 3000 years of history, which often uses slow graceful movements and controlled breathing techniques. The Chinese believed that through gentle exercise which incorporates the mind, breathing and body helps to cultivate and promote circulation of qi within the human body, thus enhance a practitioner's overall health.
There are various forms of Qigong, some are done with no movement at all, in standing, sitting and supine positions, some with gentle movements and some with movements mixed with stretching of the body or dynamic exertion of power. There are more than 10,000 styles of qigong and 200 million people practicing them all over China and the world.
The smooth flow of Qi enables our body to function properly and when the channels or meridians are blocked, the flow of Qi will slow down or become stagnant, illnesses arise and in serious case death. Therefore it is important to keep the Qi flow smoothly.
- Health Qigong is a system comprises of some of the oldest Qigongs in China, they are Yi Jin Jing, Ba Duan Jin, Wu Qin Xi, Liu Zi Jue and Twelve Duan Jin, these Qigongs all have more than 1000 years of history.
A group of China's best Qigong Masters, TCM professors and medical and sport expert from some of China's Famous Hospital and University, appointed and supported by the National Sport Council and Chinese Health Qigong association, to conduct in-depth research and assessment on the beneficial effects they bring to our daily lives.
There are Health Qigong practitioners all over the world. Health Qigong was officially granted as Sport for All by the International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge in 2011.
