    Anyone know anything about this form ?

    such a beautiful looking practice but cant find a thing about it ?

     

    I think someone asks about learning from a book and google translate comes up with this

    "

    Such a book can not be learned. He himself taught from a teacher in Korea. This is transmitted only from the teacher to the student. And most importantly, as the teacher says, this is what "goes from my heart to yours." This is true for my students. Yes, it's important, do not repeat the form just like that, rather cripple than do it right. There are too many nuances. They need to be explained."

    Hello Bruce Qi,

     

    I have not heard GM Doo Wai talk of a qigong art called "San Gong."  San Gong is not a specific, detailed by a rather general term that means "spiritual work", "heavenly work", "spiritual cultivation", or "heavenly cultivation".  it is the same two characters that appear in "Fei Feng San Gong" or "Flying Phoenix Heavenly Cultivation."

     

    Of the ten names of "san gong" meditations that you listed in your post, I recognize seven of them by the exact names used for Meditations in other Bok Fu Pai internal systems.  I have highlighted in bold letters the  ones whose names I know very well through my own practice, and also have listed in blue the arts to which each one I recognize belongs to:

     

    - Child praying to the goddess of mercy -   this is name of one of 3 Advanced healing FP Meditations, each one very powerful  This one has breathing sequence (60 30 20 10), has 2 parts of movements, each 2-part round is  repeated 18 times.

    - The wind above the waves - this is name of GM Doo Wai's "Healing Qigong Meditation", a standing form you can find on Youtube.

     

    - Breeze on top of the trees - Flying Phoenix Qigong

     

    - The monk begging for rice - basic posture in Flying Phoenix Qigong

     

    - The monk serving a cup of wine - the collective name for all the seated Flying Phoenix Meditations

     

    - The monk disrobing -    classical martial technique--full name is "Lohan Monk Disrobing"--is  found in the Bak Mei, Bok Fu Pai, and Yau Kang Mun Kung fu systems.  Technique was originally incorporated into Bak Mei Kung Fu by the great Bak Mei master, Chun Lai Cheung, who had it done to him by a Buddhist monk, who threw him over a wall with it .  This is my Bok Fu Pai classmate, Sifu Garry Hearfield, demonstrating it nicely:

     

     

    - The sparrow returning to her perch

     

    - Monk gazing at the moon - Flying Phoenix Qigong;  this is also name of GM Doo Wai's Healing Detox Meditation seen on Youtube.  (I also teach this Meditation):

    - Clouds above the sky

    - 8 goddess heavenly form

     

    I have no doubt that the "san gong" system you are practicing is authentic, especially since you've said that they are a "truly beautiful" set.  Just know that within the Bok Fu Pai tradition and across several of its internal arts, the same names are sometimes used for different exercises/meditations.  And, as with the case of "Monk Disrobes," that name and technique is found in at least 3 different kung fu systems that are historically connected.

     

    I'm curious to as to what the above "san gong" meditations look like.  I may be able to tell you more about them if I see them.

     

    Thanks for bringing these up.

    Thank you Sifu Terry for such a detailed response , would you like me to send them to you ?

    It would be great to see  you do these to get a proper idea of how to perform them especially

    if they were the high quality presentation you normally give..

     

    just sent you a pm with the download for san gong.

     

    I just did a quick search for san gong and it turns out someone is selling them and a big bundle of other rare Doo Wai forms in the lending library.

    Just wondering if anyone else has tried these ?

    great set of 10 powerful sitting moving meds in the same vein as the seated moving flying phoenix meds .

    These have the typical strong qi effect of a doo wai qigong.

    There is something about sitting moving meds that I just love , seems to make me go deeper than standing or quiet sitting.

     

    the names of the meditations are

    - Child praying to the goddess of mercy

    - The wind above the waves

    - Breeze on top of the trees

    - The monk begging for rice

    - The monk serving a cup of wine

    - The monk disrobing

    - The sparrow returning to her perch

    - Monk gazing at the moon

    - Clouds above the sky

    - 8 goddess heavenly form

    Also there is here. Again, only 15 minutes drive from my home. Another ancient holy Christian site which has tremendous energy and power. I can feel it here too. 

    Even though I don't identify myself as a Christian, I can't deny the extraordinary power of these places. 

    I live very close to this site and inspired by your post I went in the summer last year but sadly did not feel any thing out of the ordinary energetically , although a lovely place to visit.

    i have the dragon qigong DVD...in my opinion it would be a fairly difficult form to learn from DVD.

    does he break it down or just run through the form ?

    is the dragon dvd the same as wu's fire dragon meridian qigong ?

    I saw these a while back and was certainly tempted. He has his own DVD of shamanic tiger which is slightly different than Wu Zhongxian's, however I don't think it is available anymore. There are quite a few threads on here about him and he certainly sounds like a high level practitioner.

    Thats a real shame , I would love to see his version of the tiger form , from what I have gathered its the original form .

    http://www.martialartsmart.com/dvd-yz110.html

    Hi @Bruce Qi,

     

    shantam nityama energy orgasm dvd £15

     

    Is it instructional and was it of benefit to you? Or is it more like a demonstration, as on youtube?

     

    Thank you!

    The thing is with this practice , it is not instructional in nature ,  so yes you can learn it from the dvd but more from what he says in the interview. I went to a workshop with andrew barnes who learned this from  shantam and he did very little techniques and i actually learned more from this dvd.
