shogeri Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I agree that Ba Duan Jin is great as a predecessor to Qigong, or it can be used right after as well.Later!

Gaoguy Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Ba Duan Jin IS qigong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogeri Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Ba Duan Jin, meaning that it is a good warm-up to 3 circle standing, or zhuan zhang Qigong or even the Taijiquan form. It is good thereafter as well.Good luck!
