rakkasan Posted June 24, 2008 Hello everyone, Just a note to introduce myself briefly, my name is joe and I currently live in Milano, Italy. I have been lurking for awhile on this site but I finally decided to join. I have studied a number of martial arts throughout the years ranging from karate to wing chun kung fu. I was really beginning to get interested in wing chun but had to give it up due to a nagging shoulder injury, I kept throwing it out during chi sao. I have been off the path for a number of years now but a strange neurological disorder has brought me back. I have these weird symptoms of numbness and tingling throughout my body and I was terrified about MS and ALS, I have been to all kinds of specialists and doctors and none have been any help, I have gotten the usual "all in your head" brush-off from most of them. I have come to the conclusion that the only one who is going to cure me of this problem is ME. After floundering with various techniques I remembered the Qi gong exercises we used to do for warm-ups and warm-downs and realized that those had always been my favorite part of the class - therefore I have decided to start practicing qi gong. My old sifu taught qi gong as well but only as expensive seminars, not having the funds i have turned to chunyi lin's spring forest for the moment and I have already been able to feel a difference attitude wise, a lessening sense of foreboding doom................anyway will keep you posted on my progress.
