g. Qigong (气功 Qìgōng)

Qigong is an old Chinese exercise with body movement, breathe and consciousness adjusting. Four thousands of years in China it has been being treated as a way of body building, preventing and curing diseases, and potential developing. Containing a wide range of classes, Qigong can be split into two types: dynamic exercise and static exercise.

Usually, dynamic exercise indwells in Chinese martial arts, which is commonly known as Kungfu or Wushu; while static exercise stresses on sitting in meditation without tense muscle - the introduction of Tai Chi (taijiquan, a kind of traditional Chinese shadow boxing) and Ving Tsun (yongchunquan, a kind of traditional Chinese Kungfu originating from south China) is of this type.
