Yep i’m just worried that the Qigong or Neigong systems with Damo might contradict the FP system. But I suppose it’ll be alright as long as i separate the practices by at least 6 hours.

Hi Sifu Terry, I’m doing Damo Mitchell’s course and he stated in his qigong videos that you should rise when you bring your hands up bringing your centre of gravity up and sink when you bring your hands down and doing the opposite would send the wrong instructions to the Qi and confuses the body. He stated that not only does Lao Gong direct the Qi but so does your centre of gravity. If your centre of gravity is high the Qi will gather at the chest area and if you sink it will gather at the lower Dan Tian. He say’s that when you do it the other way around “like in Flying Phoenix” and many other qigong systems where your hands rise as you sink you’re essentially giving two opposite instructions to the Qi and fighting yourself so your efficiency is greatly reduced. So I was wondering if it would be better to change it around so that my centre of gravity matches my hand movements. Would doing so mess anything up?

Finally decided to create an account Currently doing Damo’s course alongside Flying Phoenix and TaoTanPai. It’s been almost a year now doing these arts, time really flies when you’re having a good time.
