Ba Duan Jin Qigong
The Eight Brocades Qigong
Open up the energy flow, remove stagnant Qi, strengthen the internal organs and improve your health with one of the most popular Qigong forms in the world!
The Eight Brocades is a set of eight simple, yet effective, exercises that can be practiced both sitting and standing.
Because practitioners have been experimenting with the form for almost 1,000 years, many different variations of each exercise have emerged. This is why we find so many different versions of the form today. We will therefore teach a few different variations of each exercise. It is important to remember that there are many ways for achieving the same effect, therefore no school needs to be more correct than any other.
The form was originally developed in China by Field Marshal Yue Fei in the early 12th century to keep his soldiers healthy and in good health while they were out in the field for extended periods of time. Yue Fei is also known as the founder of two very popular (and effective) fighting styles: Xing Yi Quan (an internal style) and Eagle Claw (an external style).
Ba Duan Jin Qigong has helped countless people maintain good health throughout their lives since its inception.
