Wild Goose Basic Training

Wild Goose Qigong Basic Training has two parts, the first 64 movements and the second 64 movements. There are many other Wild Goose Qigong forms. However, beginners usually start with the first 64 movements of the Basic Training which is a very comprehensive qigong form and excellent for daily practise to promote health and well-being. Usually the first 64 movements are practised for some time before moving on to the second 64. When both have been learned, they can be practised as a single sequence since the second begins where the first left off.

Both forms are very graceful and mimic the movements of the wild goose. The ancient daoists in the Kunlun Mountains of China watched the movements of the wild geese (renowned for their grace, stamina and long life) and based these qigong forms on their observations.

Dr. Bingkun Hu, a Medical Qigong Master, will be teaching the second 64 movements for the first time in the UK in August 2008. Although most people begin with the first 64 movements, there is no problem in starting with the second 64. Since Dr. Bingkun Hu only comes to UK once a year, it is well worth taking advantage of this workshops if you are interested in Wild Goose Qigong.

Dr. Bingkun Hu will firstly be teaching a workshop on the Principles of Wild Goose Qigong which will include movements from Wild Goose Basic Training (first 64 movements) and from the Spiral and Tripod form. There are also students of Dr. Bingkun Hu and other masters teaching Wild Goose Basic Training in theUK.

2008 Wild Goose Qigong with Dr. Bingkun Hu

The Medical Qigong Education Centre is happy to announce that Dr. Bingkun Hu will again be visiting the United Kingdom in August 2008 to again present workshops on Wild Goose Qigong.
Dr. Bingkun Hu is one of the few teachers presenting the whole of the system at the present time. Most teachers are only teaching the Wild Goose Basic Training forms (First and Second 64 Movements).

This year he will be teaching one weekend workshop on 2nd/3rd August on the Principles of Wild Goose Qigong in Hoylake, Merseyside and a four-day workshop from 8th to 11th August on Wild Goose Basic Training (Second 64 Movements).

The Principles of Wild Goose Qigong will use movements from Wild Goose Basic Training (first 64 movements) and from the Spiral and Tripod form to illustrate these principles.

Examples of the principles of Wild Goose Qigong are: shifting the body weight for free-flowing movements, using circular and spiral movements and using the wrist and waist coordination to relax.

The Wild Goose Basic Training (Second 64 Movements) is more complex to learn than the first 64 movements and requires four days to work through it.
