Hi Bums

 

From a book by Master Wong Kiew Kit, "The Art of Chi Kung" I learned that Wai Tan Kung exists.

A group of exercises that improve health and develop energy and improve skills in martial arts.

Does anyone practice it?

Anyone know something like that?

Hi Eduardo,

 

I also saw that form illustrated in Master Wong's book years ago. That book was also where I first saw Shibashi, which I subsequently searched out and it became one of my favorite sets. I never learned the Waitankung though (couldn't find much information about it back then). It looks like it was developed in 1976 (slightly before Shibashi) by Grandmaster Tuan Haji Ali Chang Chih-Tung and seems to be popular in Malaysia and Singapore.

 

You can find some information about Waitankung below:

There are a lot of videos about it in different languages on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMWDBhBJRGW3vdn6b6_zNWYI-z6YaESQI

 

There was once a book about it, but it no longer seems to be available: https://www.amazon.com/Chinese-Waitankung-illustrated-Taoist-Health/dp/B00PKRUROW/
