1. Qi Dragon® Qigong: Qi Dragon Qigong Programs are designed to bring the full original teachings of Heavenly Essence Qigong to promote healing, longevity and spirituality. Heavenly Essence Qigong has two main focuses: Te Yi Medical Qigong® for serving others and Qigong Formal Study/Qigong Certificate Program for self healing and spiritual cultivation. This comprehensive system itself can be studied and practiced as a sole focus or as a main practice combined with the following other Qi Dragon traditions as supplementary practices.
2. Qi Dragon® Taichi: Qi Dragon offers practices from two internal Martial Arts systems. One is the Daoist Taiyi Swimming Dragon Gong family tradition, a rare family heirloom originated from Wu Dang Mountain which includes several forms such as Taiyi Swimming Dragon Quan, Taiyi Riding the Wind Sword, Taiyi 72 Closed Hand, Taiyi Walking Qigong, Taiyi Tortoise Breathing, etc. for promoting balance, flexibility, strength, grace, healing and longevity. Another is Qin Quan, a unique internal martial arts system that reveals the essence of the traditional martial arts of Taichi, Bagua and Xingyi, for its extraordinary ability to train a student’s strength and promote physical and mental health. Qin Quan exercises are very simple and gentle and are excellent for developing correct body alignment, increasing body flexibility and achieving innate power.
3. Qi Dragon® Zen: Qi Dragon honors its direct lineage in the Soto Zen Buddhism tradition and incorporates some Zen teachings in its Qigong Taichi training. While Qi Dragon integrates the Zen wisdom teachings in its training system, it doesn’t include the complete Zen rituals and teachings. If you desire to know more about Zen, we recommend that you study with Liping’s Zen masters, Teah Strozer and Paul Haller, through the Brooklyn Zen Center (BZC) and San Francisco Zen Center (SFZC.org).
