Qingong Light Foot Gong Fu?

[BlackEChan]

You know, the scenes in kung fu movies where the actor (with some help of wires) soars from one building down to the streets to defend a helpless victim. But that stuff is fake, and it's known as "Wire Fu". However, it is supposedly influenced by an ancient skill which could make you as light as a swallow. Does "Qingong" exist?

If so, has anyone achieved the skill? How would you train for it?

One of these is a CCTV documentary, the other is a bagua instructional on qingong training.

It's at this point where you can tell if your Bullsh*t alarm works or not.

these days if you want skills to carry you across rooftops with ease and skill, train Parkour.

Lightness skills = Strong ass legs.

No training of any variety ever, will ever make you lighter than what you are.

If you are 170lbs, then you have to get strong enough to have best control of that body.

Occam's razor and all that.

I have always had extremely strong legs so I guess that probably helped a lot in my past practice of lightweight skills. When I was 19 I lived in Hawaii and went barefoot all the time, hot sand and lava rock flows on the ocean made the souls of my feet like leather. I could run faster at that time, on pavement, barefoot, than anyone I'd ever seen, seemingly, from my perspective, to barely touch the ground. I practice three forms only, "Dragon rests on Mountain", "Dragon crosses Lake", and "Dragon returns to Earth", crosses lake is my practice of light skills with special attention to balance and coordination. In my dreams I am the only one who can fly, dreams of this nature used to bother me , now I just see this as a Buddha Mind resource. My ability to fly in dreams is based on my light skills training , otherwise, even though I am dreaming, there is nothing that guarantees that I do not fall to my death other than belief. My light skills are practiced on 2x4's laying end to end on the ground (flat pavement) on the 2" side of boards. Running on them while doing whisklike arm movements much like in posted OP vid. Jumping is another matter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHCovU3lkHA
