DanC Posted November 18, 2019 I found this set in a book I have, the explanation isn't all that detailed, the set looks pretty static all done with clenched fists, it's part of the yi jin jing or a variation of that.. Is anyone familiar with it.. Ive seen it also under the name of sinew metamorphosis.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is anyone familiar with it.. Ive seen it also under the name of sinew metamorphosis.. Do the postures look anything like this? I used to do a Damo qigong except with open hands instead of or in addition to fists. I'm thinking it might be a similar or less intense / entry level. It also static, starting from a stillness pose, hands resting in lap. Then progress to an intermediate movement, with hands raised near chest level. Finally an active movement of holding a maximum extension for as long as it takes until fatigued. Always recover in the intermediate movement before changing to a different active pose, or to stillness.
