Me ... 8-section brocade ... this morning ... to loosen up a stiff back and, erm, get things moving. Funny you should ask today, it was the 1st time I'd done any breathing exercises this month.

Yang taiji from 6:30-7:30 then helping and coaching and training forms (longfist) from 7:30-9:00... that all incorporates breathing...:D

8 Brocade Silk, Zhang Zhuang, Silk reeling and a bit of movement practice.

Incorporating correct breathing is must for us.

BTW, I think this might be moved to the Health forum soon.

Certain Chi-gungs should be done at certain times of the day.

And for me the morning slot is the most convenient.

Cheers.

Why?

For example..?

I'm no chi gung expert ... most info I have comes from reading, a little from class.

8 Section Brocade was recommended to me as a sort of "warmup before warmups" as it starts the blood moving and gets the breath deeper, also helps coordinate body movements in general. I also practice it before kung fu class in the evenings.

I've read that a morning chi kung should incorporate movement with breathing (rather than sitting meditation or standing post). i.e., tai chi form - which slowly increases blood circulation after a night's sleep. And that a more energetic chi kung should be practiced after the hottest part of midday (1:30-3:00) - when the chi is fully expanded? something like that.

But most people only have time for morning/evening practice so a full day's exercise schedule wouldn't work for them.

because otherwise I would die and that would make the rest of the day suck.
