Indeed you are correct Firebird

These are referred to as the 1st and 2nd 64 and are 2 of 72 different forms and healing methods.
Tse Sifu is my teacher and my brother studies with Wallace Sihing in NYC ( small world)

Hey Firebird and Gouhen; a question about sounds in chi gung. In the 5 elements form I do you have a sound for each element. Well technically two, yin and yang. The yin is vocalized softly and the yang forcefully.

The sounds are:

Metal: shi
Water: chu
Wood: shu
Fire: ki
Earth: hur

How does this relate to the sounds you guys use in your practice?

1.) Zhang Zhuang
2.) 8 Brocade Silk
3.) Tai Chi

Hi Cheese Dog

the five sounds of the element of the six sound chi kung i practice are not the same as in Hung Gar.
In the Hung Gar Tid Sin Kuen you have also the sounds for the 5 elements, but for each element/organ you have 3 different sounds for 3 different levels.

10

Hey Firebird, when you say 3 different sounds for 3 levels, do you mean beginner, intermediate, and advanced or something else?

11

Yes, beginner, intermediate, advanced.
If you don’t train carefully or mix it up, You will probably hurt your inner organs.
If You train Hung Gar, maybe You should heard about it; don’t know how much You learnt already in Hung Gar style.

6 sounds chi kung

for u guys practising it, do you do any of the sounds for the related season as in summmer, winter etc or do u just do them all everytime?

Gentlemen

With the exception of An jie, most of you practice more than one type of Qigong. Do you practice all the Qigong you know everyday? Do you have a different routine for each day? Or do you take specific exercises from each routine that you believe help you daily. Just curious.

16

Firebird, Only been studying hung gar for a little less that two years and haven’t really learned anything about sounds they use yet.

Dfe , I always start with the embracing the tree exercise for several minutes before going on to whatever qigong I’m doing. As for the rest I do 5-element qigong and internal iron palm on alternate nights, Hatha yoga 2-4 times a week, and katas and forms 4-6 times a week.

Cheese Dog

I do Qigong 18 (Yang style), Zhang Zhuan, Ba Duan Jin, One-Finger Zen, Dragon Gate, and Sun style Tai Chi Chuan. Qigong 18 I do every day and alternate the other routines. The Sun Form is great. Bottom line , it is walking Qigong and I do it everyday. For the Iron Palm, you mentioned that you do Internal Iron palm Qigong. Well, I am a practitioner and have been for some time and I was wondering if you could email me and explain what type of Qigong you do for the Iron Palm. If it is guarded I understand - no explanation necessary. Have a good day.

18

yes

I also do iron palm and will be the warriors way magazine coming out soon.

My still has 3 levels, 1st level is heavy hand, 2nd is vibrating and imprint palm, 3rd is cotton palm. All with chi kung and herbs and internal fighting form.

whats your IRON PALM LIKE DF?

fiercest tiger

I just break 2x8x16 blocks with my palm, back of the hand (not backfist), knife hand and fist. I do Qigong but nothing as specific as was mentioned for Iron Palm in an earlier reply.

I don’t practice all gongs together.

my sifu did teach me a nei gong regimen which is several gongs one after the next. they target the entire body and in some of the gongs they really focus on minutia.

But for the other gongs, I generally practice them each for each.

cheers
