Qigong 

We practice five qigong: Yi Jing Jin , Ba Duan Jin , 5 animals of Wudang , Buddha dharma and the 24 energies

The term "Qi-Gong" designates the set of exercises intended to nourish, strengthen and control the correct circulation of our Qi (internal vital energy) through the vast network of "jing luo" (meridians in traditional Chinese medicine), which are connected to the organs and all the systems of the human body.

"Qi" is usually translated as "energy", "vital energy", "vital breaths" ... "Gong" (the same character as in "Gong fu") means "work" in the sense of any kind of work or study requiring a lot of time, application, regularity, perseverance and assiduity for its learning, improvement and mastery.

The regular practice of Qi-Gong exercises leads to the improvement and maintenance of health in a global way: with a revitalising action on the physical, organic and muscular body... It increases our vitality and resistance, develops our physical strength, eliminates tensions, loosens up our joints, improves postural statics, coordination in our gestures and also has a relaxing and soothing action on the mind, on the spirit, which remains active and concentrated.

Finally, learning and then regularly practising Qi-Gong exercises helps us to rediscover the unity of body and mind. For Qi is the life force, the flow of primordial energy that circulates and takes shape in all living things, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large.

The term "Qi-Gong", closely related to medicine from its earliest beginnings, has its roots in ancient China and can be traced back to ancient Taoist and Buddhist traditions. In traditional medicine, Qi-Gong is used for therapeutic purposes, with patients practising specific exercises or the doctor using his or her own energy to heal (Fa Gong = energy emission). In martial arts, Qi-Gong is part of the daily training to nourish the internal Qi, then to control its circulation to use it for defensive or offensive purposes.

Qi-gong differs from other types of physical exercises because its practice is based on a balanced combination of three essential elements

- the regulation of the mind (Tiao Xin), 

- the regulation of the breath (Tiao Xi), 

- the regulation of the body (Tiao Xing) and movements.

The effectiveness in the practice of any exercise of Qi-Gong lies in the synchronization, the correct adjustment of these three elements. Natural relaxation and appeasement, concentration, intention and visualization, unification of energy, perseverance and patience are necessary to the practitioner to adjust his thought, his posture and his breathing so as to act on the whole organism.
