Chi Kung Training

[Alan Armstrong]

In the mid 1970's the secrets back then of Chi Kung Training, was seeping in to the Western World.

Some forty years later, people couldn't care less, due to the few capitalizing and spreading false representational opinions on the subject.

Here is another perspective on Chi Kung Training, know it or not, it is very dangerous; especially for those that have medical heart issues.

One examples of CKT is "The Plank Position" nothing menacing or dangerous about doing this exercise, as many people practice it.

But what if you hold that position for thirty minutes or one hour or longer?

An important factor of doing CKT is about holding the body in irregular or difficult positions for long periods of time.

The action movie star "Jet Li" mentioned during an interview about his early martial art training with a master.

The master told "Jet Li" to hold his leg up high against a wall, the master left the room and "Jet Li" was afraid to put his leg down and held it there, for a considerably long time.

CKT puts a considerable strain on the body and yes the saying "What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger" is very relevant and applicable to Chi Kung Training.

This then is reasonable to assume, why Chi Kung Training never caught on in the West, while Yoga and Pilate has.
