Yes, I do.

 

The first few sets we train are at some level qigong, regulating breath and muscle tension etc; etc;, the third set is very much like the Lohan Qigong.

 

We also practice iron body, iron arm, and iron leg, but they're much more practice then they are technique.

The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move.

Yes. Chi Gung is a very big part of Okinawan Goju Ryu, since it decends from Chinese systems. We also have various techniques to cultivate the iron shirt, forearms, hands and fingers as well.

I don't know alot about it, but we do some in the Tai-Chi and Yue-Chuan Kung Fu classes. We did some iron shirt yesterday, there are so many different aspects and styles of Qigung that we only have a little incorporated in the classes. In the future we will have just a class dedicated to Qigung, it was supossed to start in Jan. but i think the date has been pushed back to March. (in MI)

We do mostly iron hand and arms exercises. Things like hitting a sandbag a couple of hundred times (with back of the hand, knife hand, finger tips, etc), push-ups on knuckles, several sparring exercises where you hit your opponents forearm with yours again and again,etc...

 

From your other post i get you practice northern shaolin, with what kind of iron body techniques do they torture you with? :wink: :karate:

I study a style of Kung Fu that isn't too popular, but you could probably find it likened to a Shaolin style with emphasis on dragon philosophy in everything we do (Movement, strategy)

check out Zhan Zhuang training, it is a Chi Kung excersize that will help one strengthen the inner mind and Body. it is also called stand on stake methods or posting.

Zhan Zhuang is cool - I do that when I need a bowel movement NOW :).

 

I do some t'ai chi / qigong coupled with a little yoga for a general feel-good practise.

 

The kung fu forms all begin with iron body qigongs. The first form is solely for that (think Karate sanchin) and puts amazing tension in the fingers and arms to develop them.

 

Love it all!
