hi.. new here from the Philippines, I have been a Judoka for 8 years now and Im really interested in doing tai chi and qi gong. correct me if im wrong, what I know is I cant learn tai chi without an instructor right? I can only learn qi gong by myself. :?: If I can only learn qi gong, what kind of qi gong is fit for a judoka like me? thank you in advance guy.. hope to learn a lot from all of you

thank you Seb... hope to improve more

thanks for the advice wow i have so much to learn, just getting started in my qi gong and ZZ... I can only do 10 minutes of ZZ as of the moment.

i see... ill start with 10 minutes and listen to my body if im ready to take my practice further. thank you thank you.. will do i should take it step by step.. small progress is better than no progress at all thank you, ill check it

thank you Sebastian ill start with the routine tomorrow, just need to be diligent in my practice.. ill post any updates in my practice be well..

hahaha epic... after a few months you can expect some fireballs from here haha so, i can do the 8 pieces brocade then after than ill do the ZZ, is that okay for my routine?

hi Sebastian thanks, ahm if i will be doing 8 pieces, zz and sfq.. how do you suggest me doing it? as of the moment every morning after i pray fajr i do my 8 pieces brocade... thank you

another thing from what i have read from other sources practicing ZZ could take hours? is that true? can i practice it even just for 10 to 30 minutes daily? noob question T_T

now i get it, thank you for the help hope to learn more from you guys...

Hi bubble yup, i thought so, i will need to find a instructor, someone to check if what im doing is right or wrong. I have been doing the 8 pieces of brocade for a few days now, when you said "This way, you have a complete program : standing, moving and sitting practice." first is the Zhang Zhuang and 8 pieces in the morning then the sitting meditation in the evening? thank you for the reply

thank you i really appreciate your reply will do..

"to be light as a feather, and also to be heavy as a mountain" i really like this... it really describes Judo for me.. thank you for the reply.. i have a long way to go, but i know my persistence will get me there..

thank you for the reply Andrei correct me if i didn't understand it correctly, I can do Zhan Zhuang the standing qi gong by learning the main postures of Yang Chengfu Taichi style? or if i want to learn tai chi ill follow the postures? im sorry for the noob question, i just want to get it right and do it the right way... i really appreciate your reply to my post:)

thank you thank you ill see to it to read more about Zhan Zhuang... i have no choice, i have been searching for club here that can teach me, but to no avail.. hope to find who can teach me personally here in our area.. thank you for the reply there is a taijiquan club but i would have to travel for 2 hours or more, here in our area i cant find any club that could teach me personally... thank you for the reply i would like to start from the basic, not to jump ahead so that i can apply it to my everyday life not just for martial arts.. i need to read more and find an instructor here in our area. thank you for the reply

hi, newbie here from the Philippines.. I have practicing Judo for 8 years and just recently I became interested in qi gong and tai chi. because of the baoding balls my father used to own it makes me feel relax and calm somehow, now I hope to learn qi gong and practice it.. Hope to learn and much from all of you. thank you

thank you for welcoming me
