Xantios Posted December 13, 2020 Hi! I’m Tony. Thanks for let me join the forum. I am a passionate of internal studies for health improvement. I’m a Wim Hof practitioner and I would like to integrate it with qigong. I hope to find here people that could share some experiences with both arts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted December 14, 2020 As another Hoffer, welcome to the board. I find qigong affects to be subtle, whereas Wim Hof stuff is tangible and strong. Not that one is better but a big difference between them. We've got tons of threads on various styles and aspects of qigong, and a couple on Wim Hof. Here's a blog I made when I started it- https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/39544-wim-hof-method/ I look forward to learning about your experiences with it and qigong.

Xantios Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Hi thelerner, I agree about Wim Hof. I discovered it during pandemic and find as a very useful tool with immediate results. I followed the fundamentals on line and one day in presence here in Italy with a cold bath in a river and was a funny experience. In this period I suspended the cold shower since with Covid I don't want to risk to bring a cold or fever.. Lately I discovered the qigong and found a good addition to qigong but I suppose the results will arrive in more long times. I followed the basic courses of Lee Holden, and would like to understand how to prosecute, but I will open an apposite thread to ask for suggestion to the community. When it will be possible I think I will follow a taichi course so that I can join qigong and martial art. Edited December 18, 2020 by Xantios 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
