Ba Duan Jin QigongEight-Section Brocade ExercisePan Shao Zu (Taoist name: Xuan Tongzi)Chinese with English subtitledFirst mentioned in the Daoshu ZongMiaoPien. This series has been ascribed to the folk hero Yue Fei (as have variously Xing Yi, Eagle Claw and Liu He Spear). It is considered the Qigong 101 of the entire field and is popular, or at least SAID to be popular all over. Mostly, though, it is a series of eight separate movements which are somewhat keyed to specific organ complexes and is, therefore, the forerunner of the still-questionable “medical” Qigong movement. The nice thing here is that Pan’s martial and deeply Taoist background at least give a little salsa to his presentation and this is one of the more interesting and informed versions.ChineseSimplified Chinese & English SubtitlesBIG THANKS TO CompleteVoid
