THE TRADITION
The tradition of Jingui Golden Shield QiGong originated 500 years ago in the temples on Emei mountain in Western China. In this generation, the lineage has been passed down from Master Yang Jingui in China, the head of martial arts training in the Sino-Japanese war.
Master Yang taught TaiQi and QiGong informally to hundreds of students in the parks of China. When he turned 50, he began accepting formal students, and taught 19 students in all. His 19th student was Dr. Don Zhang DAOM, PhD. Before Dr. Zhang came to the United States from China, Master Yang transmitted all the teachings of the Jingui QiGong tradition, and gave Dr. Zhang his blessing to teach it to anyone wishing to learn. Dr. Zhang, the current lineage-holder, developed this knowledge as a system for health and longevity.
ABOUT THE TRAINING
Jingui Golden Shield QiGong training consists of meditation, application of traditional herbal formulas, and physical stimulation to selected areas of the body. Jingui Qigong is designed as a long-term training system in which a student is guided through sequential levels of development. Students attend class twice monthly, practice 3-4 times per week at home, and progress at their own pace. Class time includes questions and answers, meditation, and physical practice.
