gnome Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) There are different qi gong approaches, but one does not substitute the other. The hard qigong of hung gar is great, but afterwards I have to chill out with ba duan jin. Each have their specific purpose. But yeah, some are more internal than others. I guess that in feudal china there wasn't enough time to cultivate qi like in taiji and soft qigong, and there was also the preocupation with being phydically strong for battle, thus the shaolin focus on wai gongs and hard qigongs. Â But YJJ is also special to me. It's a bit like yoga. When I don:t have the time to do a full forms workout, YJJ and/or yoga keeps the body fit externally snd internally. Even if bdj and yjj are more waigongs there is still a fraction of neigong to them. Edited April 7, 2018 by gnome fogit to conclude :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
