Energy Gate Opening? that sounds very interesting, it sounds like something i would like to look into. are there certain requirements for one to be able to practice Fook Soi Hei Gung?

yeah, a teacher who knows it. I learned it from my ex, who learned it from her Sifu, who was from Bak Lien P'ai. There are many different versions to open and clear the channels. In fact, in Liang Shou-Yu's Yang Tai chi 24 and 48 posture book, I believe he has several as well.

different methods to accomplish different things, clear and stabilize your mind/body and develop awareness, clear and circulate the energy, break up blockages, open up channels, strengthen the immune system and wu-hei (wei-ch'i) develop for strikes,awaken the spirit,etc
