Dantien gong (8 moves), shrinking-expanding moves (8), power stretching postures (8), and Chan-shi-jing (10 spiraling postures). Eight Pieces of Brocade is one of the oldest known forms of qigong ("CHEE gong") that originated in China some 800 years ago. Most study several forms of internal arts and consider power stretching essential for whole-body or one-unit connected, loose, relaxed, spiraling power in all styles. You can perform Shin Jin Ba Gu as strenuously as necessary, but to seek and reach for your limits is essential in achieving this exercise's greatest benefits. The following series provides the essential elements of a well balanced routine in a condensed 15-minute period. While this is a simple qigong set, Susan provides advanced information for setting up opposing anatomical forces. Described in anatomical terms, power stretching focuses on transforming the body's connective tissue including tendons, ligaments, fascia, joint capsules, cartilage, and bone, as opposed to focusing on muscle-tendon lengthening. They have different functions including stretching and opening meridians, lengthening the body, increasing flexibility, making the joints elastic, connecting the joints in a spiraling action, realign posture and lines of power, connecting the body so that it moves as one unit, increasing the ability to expand and contract with energy.

Part One includes a demonstration of the cao quan section of the Lan Shou form, basic move drills, including walking drills, application demonstrations, Yoga Stretch for Opening Shoulders and Upper Back and a few standing qigong exercises with Grandmaster Qin. The exercises are grouped together for easy follow-along learning. She details each concept then leads the group to incorporate them in simple exercises. It is simple set of specific postures each of which incorporates an intensive stretching then relaxing then stretching regimen. Power stretching is an amazing gift from the Lan Shou System. Power stretch is important to develop whole-body connectivity. The translation is somewhat misleading, it is not as one usually thinks about stretching, nor is it like yoga, but power stretching is a form of isometric stretching (muscles stay the same length) combined with using ground forces to actively stretch and manipulate the joints. This requires understanding how to set up ground force. I recommend streaming Mind and Energy in Taijiquan to see a demonstration of connecting to the ground in this manner. You might have noticed I have started using a different language to engage the mind into a feeling process or an imagination process, rather than on a specific muscle force or joint rotation.

A very good complement to what Master Liu Hong Cai says about the need to have correct physical structure as well as energy alignment. Bones in this alignment are balanced in gravity right-left and front-back. Tendon and bone stretching set is a very effective method of strengthening the connective tissues of the body as well as bones and joints. Shou Guan Shun and Wang Ming Bo call it Jin Shin Ba Gu, translating as muscle tendon bone strengthening. Jin Shin Ba Gu from Shou Guan Shun and Wang Ming Bo also trains for maximum extension. Wang and Ms. Oliver demonstrate the importance of training for maximum extension of the body, integrate that with yin-yang in push hands (Tui Shou), and demonstrate its application as a powerful technique for moving an opponent. In push hands he pushes blindfolded to demonstrate how to sense the other person's movement with the body, not look with the eyes only. A body trained like this is great for all martial arts and every other sport or movement art that I can think of. An excellent lecture and discussion follows on the principle and usage of the 13 potential energies or forces in Taiji, Xing-yi and other internal martial arts (peng,lu, ji, an, shou, zhong, etc.).

This video complements the discussion and applications of these moves found in Master Xu’s Complete Practice. A special feature of this video is of Master Xu demonstrating spiral technique in the Bagua Zhang form and Chen Style Taijiquan form. This video contains information useful for beginners and beyond. She is the founder of Living Tree Yoga in Santa Rosa, California and teaches many classes for beginners to advanced students. Prasarita Padottanasana, or a Wide-Legged Standing Forward Bend, with your fingers interlaced behind your back, is probably the most common (and familiar) shoulder stretch done in yoga classes, mainly because it’s simple, easy to do, and effective. Try these 5 Yoga Poses to help open up your back and shoulders. After your body is warmed up you may move a little faster, being mindful to link the poses together in a fluid dance or moving prayer. Once the body is connected, the body can use chan shi chin, or spiraling, to move in three dimensions, effectively reducing the enemy's force to zero. Let the bones of your feet and ankle move inside the skin.
