Here are my thoughts about the course. I'm doing a sample. The first semester stuff is solid and well explained. Sitting methods to develop concentration, focus, and sensitivity + a few standing methods for cultivating energy. So far, nothing extraordinary but clearly not a scam, they know what they are doing. You can ask and they answer, continuous report of the training is expected, so you get nice feedback. The model is expensive but you get all the semester stuff at the same time, so you can very easily have an idea of how your next training months are going to be. On the other hand, until you unlock the next semester you don't know much about the stuff besides the general theme, so joining the method is a leap of faith because who knows what is coming the next year. I think that if they made a few videos the method would be more popular. So far needs a lot of blind trust

My 2 cents here! Regarding Damo's method: -It's not expensive, so paying a year in advance it's not dauting. -The syllabus is huge, way too much for the average student, if you want foundations, I'd stick to the wuji and dantian gong, with a dash of jibengong, daoyin, and five elements. There are so many exercises and ancillary methods that it would be easy to get lost. -The weekly leak of content is a bad idea for qigong. Foundations need doing the same thing for a lot of time. Weekly content is always adding fluff to keep you interested, but being easily bored is a bad thing for a cultivator. Half of the lessons arent really needed, they are filling space. -Damo itself is the reason I decided to put the method aside. I'm not a monk and dont care about his antics with alcohol and cigars, but if you compare stuff from a few years ago, you can see his body deteriorating. He had a worm that made him go through a scrawny phase, but now he is recovered and that cant be an excuse anymore. He has issues with his physical body Regarding Nathan's -The method is expensive, each course costs you more than a year with damo. -The online courses are poor. The books are way better. The courses are basically Nathan's audio files of training sessions. If you are willing to spend a few days, you could do your own files by recording the instructions in the books. The end result would be almost the same at a fraction of the cost. If you want to join his method, I'd do retreats with him, ignoring the online stuff. -Same as Damo, Nathan is the reason I didnt go further into the method. Nathan looks extremely weak and emaciated. I don't understand how he could develop yin yang fusion and advanced microcosmic orbit and not look healthy at all

Hello! I'm Jaime from Benidorm, Spain. 38 years old that mainly did martial arts but in the last decade TCM, meditation, and qigong are drawing me more and more, so I started with acupuncture and have been trying several qigong methods. I have been lurking these forum several years but I still had to write something!
