5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!!, July 16, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Essential Qigong Training Course: 100 Days to Increase Energy, Physical Health and Spiritual Well-Being (Paperback)
Finally, a great course teaching all the things about Qi-Gong that I've always heard about but could never get anyone to explain. This course touches on all the essential basic and more advanced qigong excersises.There are many old, traditional qigong excersises taught and explained in a well defined step by step program. A top quality product. Thank you Ken Cohen!

4.0 out of 5 stars More of a unique and valuable reference work, September 21, 2008
By 
Kenneth Stuart (Northern California) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Essential Qigong Training Course: 100 Days to Increase Energy, Physical Health and Spiritual Well-Being (Paperback)
It is a great benefit to everyone that Ken Cohen has created this great reference work containing many details of every aspect of Qi Gong theory and practice. Most other works are either patchy and incomplete, or in Chinese. Since Mr. Cohen speaks Chinese, and has taught and practiced Qi Gong for most of his life, he is ideally suited to providing this material. It's particularly helpful that he has also presented so much of the material as DVD instruction videos.
However, in many ways, this is a work for the Qi Gong teacher, or at least for committed students of many years. While the material can certainly be used by beginners, it requires more time, effort and money than those who only have a casual curiosity are willing to invest in something they have not experienced.
Each aspect of the learning process is dealt with in great detail, such that the student is never going to say "I'm still not sure what I am supposed to do at this point" (which is a comment I've read about many other qigong and yoga products). But the flip side is that the student needs to commit to investing a large amount of time to this course. For example, many exercises have 10 minutes of introductory explanation of the proper state of mind, prior to 10 minutes of explaining the exercise itself - for something that is going to comprise one or two minutes of your daily practice.
So, for the more casual beginner, which is probably going to be most people, there is a more simple and less costly solution. Get the inexpensive and excellent DVD set "Qigong Beginning Practice" by the Garripolis, which is probably the best instruction video for casual beginners, and then get Ken Cohen's paperback book "The Way of Qigong" which contains all his excellent knowledge and explanations of the theory and significance of Qigong. The cost of both together is less than a third of the cost of this course.

5.0 out of 5 stars The essential Qigong training course by Ken Cohen, August 23, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Essential Qigong Training Course: 100 Days to Increase Energy, Physical Health and Spiritual Well-Being (Paperback)
The course is a compilation of previous CD's and DVD's and a condensed version of his book ,The Way of Qigong. This course is the best value for money program that i have found and is jammed full of useful information .
Althought this course is is aimed at the beginner i have found it useful as an experienced qigong learner to gain deeper insights into Qigong. Ken brings to the course rational perspective and a balanced approach to the learning of this subject.The whole approach to learning Qigong is beautifully presented incuding the packaging .A lot of thought has gone into developing this program . The DVD on External Qigong Healing is exeptionally good and gives the learner a great introduction to useful techniques that can be incorporated into any healing situation.
This program would be of particular benefit to massage or bodyworkers who wish to incorporates aspects of Qigong into their practice. In summary one of the best products that has come out on this subject .
