TomBrad Posted yesterday at 04:23 PM I'm curious - can different Nei Gong systems be trained in concurrently? e.g. can Damo Mitchell's system be studied at the same time as Wang Liping's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It depends on the systems. Some can be practiced with others, some can’t. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I practice one system, and I d not have time to practice that to perfection. Doing two or three, I would either have to skip actually absorbing into the methods I know quite well, or skip work. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do Authentic Neigong by Rudi, and also do Flying Phoenix Qigong by Sifu Terry Dunn and some Tan Tao Pai qigong. Outside of this I don’t really have any time for more neigong practices. Soon I will be starting wing chun and the instructor also teaches some of Damo Mitchell’s neigong. I’m gonna try them out of curiosity to see how it compares with what I’m already doing, but probably won’t make it a part of regular practice outside these classes.

I would do only one of these systems, Wang Liping system contains the Three Spaces practice which would dissolve boundaries of body into space. See Nathan Brine book vol 3. I doubt Damo Mitchell has reached that stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forestofclarity Posted 8 hours ago If I had to guess, if you asked either Damo or Nathan Brine about it, they would advise choosing one or the other. But the actual answer would be to ask the teacher IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Logray Posted 5 hours ago This question is quite unanswerable. Whether 2 systems are compatible can only be answered by the teachers of the 2 systems. But seldom does a teacher happen to know another system in depth. In the old days when the very original system has been taught, undiluted and unadulterated for centuries. Then another teacher may have sufficient knowledge on that system. But these days many system are recent inventions, or significantly altered, then outsiders would have no idea on what is going on. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PS If you want to learn more than one system at one time, then, you are not serious about learning any system at all.
