[Firebird]

I study:

6 sounds chi kung,
Ba Dua Jin,
Opening the channels ( don't know the chinese word),
Small circle ( don't know the chinese word),
and from the Dao Ahn Pai System:
small cloudhands and shen exercises.

by the way:
do You know that in dayan chi kung there are 64 exercises ( the firs part and the most known) and another 64 exercises which are not common.
some years ago there was an article in
Kungfu/Qigong magazine by Adam Wallace/Michel Tse.

[An jie]

Indeed you are correct Firebird

These are referred to as the 1st and 2nd 64 and are 2 of 72 different forms and healing methods.
Tse Sifu is my teacher and my brother studies with Wallace Sihing in NYC ( small world)

Hey Firebird and Gouhen; a question about sounds in chi gung. In the 5 elements form I do you have a sound for each element. Well technically two, yin and yang. The yin is vocalized softly and the yang forcefully.

The sounds are:

Metal: shi
Water: chu
Wood: shu
Fire: ki
Earth: hur

How does this relate to the sounds you guys use in your practice?

[Laughing Cow]

1.) Zhang Zhuang
2.) 8 Brocade Silk
3.) Tai Chi

[Firebird]

the five sounds of the element of the six sound chi kung i practice are not the same as in Hung Gar.
In the Hung Gar Tid Sin Kuen you have also the sounds for the 5 elements, but for each element/organ you have 3 different sounds for 3 different levels.

[Cheese Dog]

Hey Firebird, when you say 3 different sounds for 3 levels, do you mean beginner, intermediate, and advanced or something else?

[Firebird]

Yes, beginner, intermediate, advanced.
If you don't train carefully or mix it up, You will probably hurt your inner organs.
If You train Hung Gar, maybe You should heard about it; don't know how much You learnt already in Hung Gar style.

[fiercest tiger]

for u guys practising it, do you do any of the sounds for the related season as in summmer, winter etc or do u just do them all everytime?

With the exception of An jie, most of you practice more than one type of Qigong. Do you practice all the Qigong you know everyday? Do you have a different routine for each day? Or do you take specific exercises from each routine that you believe help you daily. Just curious.
