Qigong, qi gong, chi kung, or chi gung is a holistic system of coordinated body posture and movement, breathing, and meditation used for the purposes of health, spirituality, and martial arts training. “Qi” meaning “vital energy” and “Gong” derived from the phrase Gong Fu, meaning "time and effort", hence the practice of Qigong is "time and effort improving our vital energy". With roots in ancient Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts dating back 400 years, qigong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi (chi). The Qigong offered is from "The Stillness Movement Lineage"; what separates this from others is the use of "Intent, a manifestation that occurs utilizing energy." It is a high-level discipline effecting body, mind, spirit and destiny.
What does it entail?
Qigong sessions, similarly, to other disciplines like Tai Chi, incorporate a wide range of physical movements, including slow, meditative, flowing, dance-like motions. Martial Arts Qigong is used to increase strength, flexibility and balance by bringing qi into the muscles, bones and tendons through specifically designed routines. Qigong incorporates movement practice and hands-on therapy.
Martial Arts Qigong—specifically the Ryukyu Kempo—has its roots in Okinawa and Chinese Kempo (Kempo meaning "Fist Way"). The many hand techniques and the movements patterns taught will show the diligent student the precise angle and direction to disable an attacker, regardless of size or strength. This system also utilizes the energy channels to short circuit the opponents energy including rendering them unconscious. Small Circle Jujitsu utilizes small joint locks, e.g. finger lock, which are banned in Mixed Martial Arts competition because of their effectiveness.
Qigong and Pain
Clinical Qigong techniques were all derived and proven in the Qigong Hospitals in China. Qigong is used by integrative medicine practitioners to complement conventional medical treatment due to its safety and effectiveness. Integrative medicine blends conventional and complementary medicines/ therapies with the aim of using the most appropriate of either or both modalities to care for the patient as a whole". By regularly practicing Qigong, one can calm the mind and emotions decreasing stress thereby allowing the body to function better. The use of this holistic practice has been reported in the literature to provide benefit to many medical conditions including chronic pain and disease.
