| "The Chi Kung form demonstrated on this tape was taught to me by Zhang Guang De, professor of the Chi Kung department at Bejing University. Master Zhang cured himself of lung cancer, using this very form. Those of you who saw the Public Television show with Bill Moyers entitled Healing and the Mind may remember the long segment in the very first episode of the series devoted to the practice of Chi Kung. Practice these exercises and you will realize why Chi Kung is so highly regarded in China." 30 minutes |

CRANE STYLE CHI KUNG

"In this second Chi Kung video, I present yet another series of Chi Kung exercises from Chinese and Tibetan origins. Short intervals of classical 'Standing Meditation' and synchronized breathing techniques are uniquely choreographed together to strengthen the legs, improve cardiovascular circulation, oxygenate the blood and organs, and provide relaxation and well-being. Increasing the flow of Chi helps to prolong life in a very natural and healthy way.
Practice these exercises daily for even one week and you will feel your strength of body and mind increase!" 40 minutes |

TAI CHI KUNG

Video is VHS-NTSC (United States) format.

"Tai Chi is a martial art and as such is meant to be executed with great inner strength known as 'chi.' Many people today practice Tai Chi without understanding how this gentle-looking form is used for self-defense.
I have compiled these Chi Kung exercises to help both the beginner and advanced Tai Chi student understand the defensive/offensive moves, blocks, and strikes in the Yang-style Tai Chi form. Through regular daily practice, these exercises will stretch and strengthen your body." 30 minutes |
