Daryl Forsythe Posted March 25, 2017 I am a middle-aged and married father of two boys. Everyone needs health, especially the dad of the house. I am currently practicing yi jin jing. For 3 years I practiced ba duan jin. I have a couple of Mantak Chia's books. I really like this stuff. It's funny all the little zaps and chills you can feel in your spine when you "get all kung-fuey." I look forward to making friends and sharing qigong. Peace 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RiverSnake Posted March 25, 2017 Welcome to TDB. Be wary of Mantak Chia, some of his techniques are dangerous. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daryl Forsythe Posted March 26, 2017 Well thank you thank you. I have a question for OldAngel: Which of Chia's techniques are dangerous exactly? (I'm a little worried now!) Mostly I practice the Embracing the Tree posture, sometimes one or maybe two other poses from the Iron Shirt Qi Gong and the Bone Breathing/Power Breathing exercises. His other stuff I haven't gotten to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiverSnake Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Anything in his methodology that feels forceful....also anything he teaches relating to sexual kung fu i would steer clear of....read every single one of the amazon reviews on each book. You'll see the warnings of people damaging themselves. Edited March 26, 2017 by OldAngel 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
