Shaolin Wahnam - Chi Kung (Qi Qong)

solas

I'm organising a weekend course in Shaolin Chi Kung in Waterford 28-29 oct with Sifu Joan Browne, there's 10 places to be filled if anyone is interested.

What is chi kung?

Chi kung is the art of developing vital energy particularly for health, vitality, mind expansion and spiritual cultivation.

Practised in the Shaolin temple more than 1,5000 years ago, Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung is an elite and ancient art. It consists of form, breathing and mind focus to generate energy flow in the body.

Joan Browne was trained in the art under the auspices of Shaolin Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit of Malaysia and was granted to teach Shaolin Chi Kung in Ireland.
This work can be beneficial on many levels, from promoting healing and releasing stress to assisting the development of internal force.

How is chi kung related to kungfu?

All great kungfu makes use of energy training (which is chi kung) to develop internal force, without which it remains at its external, mechanical level, considered by Chinese martial artists as rough and low-class. Hence, a kungfu master may look, and actually is, gentle, yet with his internal force he can cause much damage to his opponent if he wishes. Moreover, his internal force does not diminish with age, and he can apply it for peaceful use in his daily living. Unlike in many other systems of martial arts where the training itself often results in physical as well as emotional injuries, kungfu training with chi kung enhances harmonious chi flow, thus promotes health, vitality and longevity

This course would be suitable for beginners and those without any martial art experience. If anyone is genuinely interested in developing this art form contact me here via pm.

and you say that you've over 600 members in ireland - so lets assume they all came in on weekend courses - €350x600 - €210,000.
nice.
there will probably be the marvelous opportunity to purchase some of the multitude of instructional material that the wahnam society seems so fond of producing also

Ammobear, sorry the delay in responding I've been without internet access for the last week and only got the oppertunity to respond today. I sent you a PM.

To tallent, I'm not a representative of Shaolin Wahnam Ireland although I am interested in participating in the weekend course. The organisation of the events requires a lot of time and work and can be costly. Bbetween auditorium fees and taking other allowances into account the price is reasonable. Included in the fee are meals for both days and a copy of Sifu Wongs book "the art of shaolin chi kung".

Each weekend course requires a minimum of 10 particpants and a maximum of 15 in order to be cost efficient and not 600 as you have suggested.
