Hello,
I recently came across a few variations of the Bagua teacups (including Sifu Matsuo's whirlwing palms and a few others from youtube). After self-practicing for a few times, I found them to be very invigorating and body-warming. I would love to learn more variations as they seem to be very beneficial for releasing tensions in back/shoulders/other joints and circulating the lymphatic system, but I do have a couple questions:
1) any other natural extension of this type of practices, for example, among Sifu Matsuo's DVD collections or other Qigong practices? I am looking for DVD recommendations or online learning (youtube included) for now due to the pandemic.
2) are these movements enough to build stronger and more flexible bodies if practiced everyday or do I need to supplement with other movements? Right now I am not at a stage to learn the whole Bagua system (e.g. walking in circles; change of hands..) due to personal health reasons, but I may in the future. Due to the complexity of the system, I would also think I need in-person classes for that.
Thanks in advance,
Tina
