@adityasandhu this exercise basically strengthens your tendons, there are lots of qi gung secretes with the yi jin jing but one of the main focuses is to strengthen your tendons, to make what holds your muscles together stronger.

i have opened my third eye and am in close touch with ones chi energy, from years of meditation and tai chi… do you not think i will have personal gain from practicing the muscle and tendon stretches of this monks Yi JIN JING without a learner?

@Erime @Erime” If the teacher hasn’t apparently gained any humility from their art, then they are probably practicing wrongly.” what a load of shit!!kungfu masters in the past who were not priests were extremely proud some where very harsh on their students , this is one natural effect when you gain power and are better than others.I can bet my life on it that you cant take a hard punch to the mid section.

@Erime your right about the teacher part. it is better to spend 5 years looking for the right teacher than 10 with the wrong one.. a lot of instructors in the west only learn how to do the motions but not how to direct the qi correctly, forcing it and such. with them you will only scratch the surface of the benefits from qigong. Don’t worry if you are ready you’ll find a teacher or know where to look, the great find the tao on the battlefield, only the weak on a mountain top.

Dear Awe, I’m learning yi jin jing from YMAA [Yang's Martial Arts Academy]. [Yi jin jing is a type of qigong.] Dr.Yang Jing-Ming teaches martial arts and qigong through his publishing house, selling books and videos. The best books to start with are “The Root of Chinese QiGong” and “QiGong, the Secret of Youth.” Then there are the 6 “Understanding Qigong” videos. And you really should get the “QiGong Massage” video. I could afford these but I couldn’t afford a real teacher, the best way.

so many variations so many add here add there,,,,seems confused to know which one or which movements is better…so many copycats just to gain popularity.everything now becomes so commercialised just because they want their VCds or DVds to sell well.They can say whatever they like…their is better than others.You are the person to judge and see for yourself.just like any other taichi or qigong laozhi…their aim is to make money….the longer u learn or stay with them they ahve more income?

@AwesomeVed You really need a teacher – you can learn the basic postures from any kind of Wushu/Kung fu and even Taichi/Qigong class at times, but I would recommend finding a good teacher and take it carefully – don’t force anything out of frustration. Look for a way to enjoy it comfortably and don’t let any teachers disrespect you – if they do, then just leave and find a better one. If the teacher hasn’t apparently gained any humility from their art, then they are probably practicing wrongly.

@adityasandhu It is to improve joint flexibility and ease tensions in the body allowing you to be more oxygenated, as well as limber reducing stress and creating a harmonic environment and ideal to create healthy blood through cleaning of bone marrow.

@comrad1986 @comrad1986 I try the motions halfway but I have felt energized.
In term of kungfu, my knowledge is almost zero.
I’ll to do complete the movement gradually and see the result; Tip from Erime (breath out when moving out of body and breath in when doing the opposite) is helpful

@marsopilami187 Sounds like a good way to prepare in the morning despite not having any experience with this myself

@adityasandhu i wake up with this and the bone marrow cleansing (Xisuijing) together with some other ones. doing this gives me allot of energy though out the day i rarely ever get tired even during strenuous martial arts exercise. long term your body will create its own medicine and live very healthy.

actually, i am 66 years old, and practised it for more than 15 years. in the general outlines yarwer is right, “the tension should be through the breath/qi”. But the tension is not only a mind tension like in Yi Quan, and the number of times that you have to do each movement is not stated

Reply

Yarwer October 29, 2011 at 2:34 pm

yeah

Reply

Yarwer October 29, 2011 at 3:13 pm

the tension should be through the breath/qi

rather than imagining that you are physically causing tension – as in the iron wire forms of the hung gar system: whereby, you physically[and mentally] imagine shifting, pulling etc. a great weight, then the tension is exerted into the joints with turning movements and so forth

in this form, it appears the idea is to remain completely relaxed and allow the correlation of opposing muscles/tendons to work out the correct strength “exertion” through qi

I have read that there can be no muscular tension at all- in fist form yi jin jing. One must visualize tensing his muscles but with no external movement. How it differs from another forms where tension is involved?

comrad1986 October 29, 2011 at 3:40 pm

Dude !! I’m not what u would term a daily practitioner, but i do practise kung fu…the physical along with the theoretical….and i blend the two with the guidance of my sifu………these exercises DO IN FACT WORK, BUT if you do it in a mere mechanical way (i.e copy the motions) you will not reap the benefits, to reap the benefits of this ‘exercise’ you must be an ardent student of kung fu…and u must practice this with vizualization and belief..
