QI (sounds like CHEE) = Energy, Life Force, Vitality GONG (sounds like LONG but with a G) = Work, Skill, Mastery Qigong was first practiced by the Wu people of ancient China, who were also the first Daoist. They were tribal peoples, shamans, mystics and healers. Needless to say there are more Qigong styles to count than there are grains of sand on a beach and in turn sooooooo many ways in which it can be categorised.

For us we will divide Qigong simply into Dynamic & Static. Each branch has martial, meditative and medical applications as well as wei dan and nei dan practices (external and internal)

I teach dynamic medical forms of Qigong, which are relative in our current social lifestyle to assist in bringing harmony to Body, Breath and Spirit.
