… to our brand new Chi Master blog!
I have been a student of Master Leon Chiu for a number of years and one thing that has struck me is how much Eastern countries care so strongly about health maintenance.
In the West I feel that we tend more towards hedonistic lifestyles that result in poor health and then look to the NHS to repair us – no wonder they are struggling to cope!
One thing that amazed me on a visit to Hong Kong is how many elderly there are walking the streets and how you can see them taking part in outdoor Tai Chi classes daily.
The wonderful thing about Chi Kung exercises is that anyone can do them – any gender or age group. They can be very gentle exercises or, since they have their roots in Martial Arts, can also be used entirely as a Martial training system.
Personally I prefer a cross between the two, since I’m looking after my inner health but also toning my flabby bits at the same time!
More about these exercises soon.
