Chinese Shamanic Tiger Qigong Review

(More customer reviews)
Chinese Shamanic Tiger Qigong is presented in a very accessable way. The full form is shown from two different angles and also broken down and taught step-by-step. Even though it is relatively easy to memorize and perform the movements, this Qigong feels more advanced than many of the styles I have experienced. The quality of movement shown on the video is difficult to replicate. Obviously, Master Wu is a very skilled practitioner. I would not recommend this DVD to beginners, but anyone who has some experience with Qigong would benefit from owning this DVD (and the companion book).
It is really a rare thing to have someone like Master Wu present a shamanic form of Qigong to a western audience. I have not seen anything else like it--certainly not anything of such high quality production. It is something I know I will spend several years learning and re-learning, hoping someday to acheive mastery.

Lineage holder, Master Zhongxian Wu provides detailed instruction in this powerful Mt. Emei Sage Style 24-movement Qigong form, which combines the traditions of ancient shamanism, Confucianism, Daoism, classical Chinese medicine, and the martial arts. The tiger is a symbol for shamanic power and for Qi, especially Zhengqi. Physically, Zhengqi is represented most strongly by the Lung, which prevents pathogenic Qi from invading the body.

Five Animal Sports Qigong (YMAA chi kung) DVD Review

I've been waiting literally for years for this disc to come out! I was very pleased with the outcome of all of Dr. Yang's efforts. The disc is well produced, with almost too much information, if that's even possible!? This is what has been missing from all other videos in the world teaching this very ancient form of Qi Gong...... proper instruction! Dr. Yang imparts quite a lot of detailed information on relaxation, mood, beathing, and even a large section taught by one of his students on the relationship of the 5 Animals to the 5 Elements in Chinese medical theory and which organs they affect. The 5 sounds for the 5 organs are introduced as well. It's absolutely a wonderful disc if for only the information alone! The disc is well over two hours long, so the instruction is more than enough.
However, on the down side, this particular version of Hua Tuo's exercise is not for the absolute beginner. It is one of the most physical versions of this Qi Gong. Without some background in some form of martial art, or at least Tai Ji Quan, I think it might be difficult for a beginner to grasp the physical movements without a lot of effort. This style is very martial in character.
The other major drawback with this version of the 5 Animal Play is that it does require a fair amount of space in order to perform it. So plan on doing one repetition of each move each way in your small kitchen or living room. Luckily this disc came out in the spring so that you can learn the whole form outside, then alter it for the winter months to make it more do-able indoors if you have a small living space like I do.
To sum things up, I couldn't recommend this disc enough! Dr. Yang's teaching style is very warm and personal. After just one viewing you will know so much about Qi Gong and Chinese medicine that you'll be the center of attention at your next party! Just be sure to dress as your favorite animal....the monkey maybe?
