The Five Animal Qi Gong is an ancient set of Chinese Qi Gong practice that is believed to be developed in the Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD), with the purpose to strengthen our internal organs, Qi (Oxygen) and Xue (Blood) flow. 

The five animals are Tiger, Deer, Bear, Monkey and Crane (or Bird). Each animal is associated with one of the element the Wu Xing (5 Elements, which are -  Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth). 

There are 2 Qi Gong movements for each of the animal, each movement works on the 2 corresponding Yin and Yang internal organs and its related emotions each of the organ governs.

FAQ

  • What is the difference between enrolling as a Face-to-Face and a participation Only student?

    Both training options, the Face-to-Face Interactive training and Attendee-Only option, take place at the same time. The Face-to-Face training is very similar to training in a physical class together with other students, where you can be seen by Shifu Yan Xin and he will be able to help you with your training and can correct your movements. In order to keep up with the quality of teaching, number of spaces for this option is limited. With the participation only (Non Face-to-Face Option), you will be able to see Shifu Yan Xin live but no one else will be able to see you, so you can still enjoy the live training atmosphere but would not be able to have your movements corrected.

  • How do I know if I am a KungFu.Life member to benefit from the Warrior member price?

    If you are subscribed to one of our Yearly, Quarterly or Monthly subscription plans (either as a Warrior or Wellness Member) or if you are a Lifetime Member of ours then you are a KungFu.Life member and you will be able to find your discount code to join the Live Yi Jin Jing program in your KungFu.Life Members page and/or in you email inbox.

  • What if I can't make it to some or all of the Live Sessions

    If you can't make it to some or all of the live training, the replays of the sessions will be available for you to catch up on. We strongly recommend you join the training live for a better training experience, but if life really gets in the way, then following the recordings is the second best option. If this is the case, then just opt for the non Face-to-Face pricing option at the check out.
