    Qigong PSA

    Derren Brown debunks a new-age Russian "Qigong" master.

    Heads up: many types of "Qigong" are pretty much the same as above (although personally, I wouldn't call them Qigong - I'd call them BS.)

    For me, it is the way they are taught that is the problem!

    um, this is just plain old charlatanism.
    qigong is qigong.

    I don't discount qigong because of greedy douchebags and their desperate, ignorant and seemingly witless followers.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    It's breath work. Seated, standing, moving through postures. Like prana veda but with differences in cultural frames of references.

    To promote it as magic chi is a lie. To promote it as anything other than what it is, is why there are charlatans and folk like darren Brown to knock them down.

    Greed and Ignorance are the two propulsion systems of fraud. They are also poisonous to the mind.
    Kung Fu is good for you.
