Ba Duan Jin

“I have studied with many good teachers, some quite famous, but Master Yan Xin's method is by far the best. He is pleasant, enthusiastic and uplifting - and his form is impeccable, providing precise examples for his students to follow. He also spends the time necessary to give the details behind the movements in a succinct manor, so that his students can grasp the depth of their benefits - as well as reducing the possibility of injuries. They film different side and back views of the positions, which is indispensable for beginners. Their backdrops are varied, authentic and beautiful. (loved the pink blossom falling on his head - a bestowal of Grace from Mother Nature and Father Tian). The music is excellent too, albeit a bit too loud at times. I am an American woman from the United States, and have loved all things Shaolin for as long as I can remember. Now, well into my seventies, I am so grateful to be able to learn from, and practice with, a highly trained Kung Fu Master. He is fine gentleman, a delight to learn from, and it it quite apparent that he is well on his way in the profound journey of Soul Cultivation. Thank you, Kung Fu Life, for this most visually appealing, well-designed and thought-out online school that you have produced for us - all the time and resources you have expended are certainly worth your efforts. I am most grateful for this opportunity, Julianne Riise Florida, USA (Your little pooch added its own charm/chi to the lessons too!) ”

“Excellent course, it's great to have all the technical details in terms of movements and breathing, the pedagogy of Sifu Yan Xin is great and very professional !”

“A excellent simple shorter version of the Ba Duan Jin you can do every day, very helpful with stress and focus. ”

“ The Ba Duan Jin is a series of 8 movements. These movements can be done many times in a row to make a longer Qi Gong Experience. I find doing the 8 movements in the early morning when I am low on energy very satisfying. It helps get my blood and mind moving and my body ready for the day. Every time I review one of the preparation sections I find small details I forgot. This makes it exciting to continue to learn and improve. I thoroughly enjoy performing the Ba Duan Jin and I do the movements many times during my weekly training routine.”
