Great video. Amazing how people can excersise freely outside and have no hang ups. How often do you see people in your park excersing on their own? Hats off to them..

Perhaps my favorite thing about this video is the true sense in which it explains how people in China can do these sorts of exercises so freely on the streets in front of anyone, anywhere, anytime...and have it be so completely void of the usual pretensiousness that that sort of thing can have attached to it in the states, largely because of "self-taught experts" who like the attention. Wonderful, vid. I actually feel all the more calm from watching it.

This looks like Tai Chi rather than Qigong? But sometimes the two things blur together.

@HotSauceBG3 There are thousands of differet styles in Qi Gong. And also, they say, the more skilled you are, the less it looks "good", if you know what i mean.

[HotSauceBG3]

no no no, this is nothing like real Qi practising... see the Shaolin monks what are they doing!!!

I like the video a lot! When was it shot? The cars in the background look quite old...

The still poses are called Zhan Zhuang -- stand post. They're used in many martial traditions (Bagua, Xingyi, Taiji, Yiquan, etc.) also, but alone they are excellent for health and improving stamina.

@Jahrass7

There are hundreds of types of Qigong in China, maybe thousands. Some are designed even for specific illnesses.. sorry I can't help.

Looks like these guys are really feeling Qi. I do it all the time. I was observing that the guy at the end of the video was actually also shifting the wind with Qi. You can hear it synchronizing to the Qi movements.

I bet he still uses a cane though... Just like Yoda.

No-

..that's just IT-

..I'm not talking about a fear of LEARNING, I'm talking about being seen practicing on the street & taken for a master & not being "qualified to TEACH" but only showing what one knows, which may not be "proper" kata nor stance.

Do u now, see what I'm saying?

Sum1 may ask u if u can teach them how 2 do something that u arent even a master at, just maybe an intermediate. Ppl tend 2 blame their teachrz 4 failures so u tend 2 think twice abt even trying 2 teach like that.
