Review

Rather than charming you with exotic locations and scenery, these videos make every effort to focus on teaching the movements, body control and background necessary to learn this beautiful form of qigong. Dr. Hu does not wear a special costume or clothing and promotes the idea that qigong can be practiced anytime, anyplace and in any clothes. --Qigong Insitute

Product Description

Wild Goose I Qigong (chi kung) is well known for its lovely and graceful movements, which are suggestive of the image of an innocent and carefree wild goose. As a "movement-oriented" Qigong, Wild Goose fully includes tai-chi and yoga like movements and postures to naturally open up our twelve meridian lines, and induce circulation (also know as inducing the micro-cosmic orbit) within our conception and governing vessels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD, Great Series!, November 21, 2005

By	G. Yudien (Modesto, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Wild Goose Qigong 1: The First 64 Movements (DVD)

As a long-time Aikido student, I was looking for an off-the-mat way to enhance my sense of ki (qi). After viewing a few tapes showing different approaches to Wild Goose One, I found myself most drawn to what Dr. Hu was doing. The biggest surprise for me has been that, though I was expecting a serene, meditative experience from Wild Goose, I also found myself with a feeling of having had a somewhat vigorous full-body workout. Even more importantly, the notion of qi through these movements seemed to quickly move from the abstract to the rather concrete. I've now been through the entire series (9 DVDs) and highly recommend them. They are very well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's True this is the Real Deal, October 19, 2005

By	Pamela Cobb - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Wild Goose Qigong 1: The First 64 Movements (DVD)

To repeat what the person who reviewed wild goose 5 qigong had to say about this qigong series:

This DVD definitely offers the real stuff. Master Hu's approach to Wild Goose QiGong is somewhat gentler and softer than some other teachers' practice of the Wild goose forms, and word has it from a friend who attended one of his seminars that Hu relies on standing meditation practice (Yi Chuan) to supply much of the internal power which is channeled and refined in forms like this. But there is no mistaking the man's skill and focus.

3.0 out of 5 stars You really need a teacher for this!, July 10, 2008

By	Mike F. (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wild Goose Qigong 1: The First 64 Movements (DVD)

I ordered this video and "Wild Goose IV: Tripod & Spiral Qigong" thinking I could learn them on my own. Having viewed the video and attempted some of the form, I realize this is probably going to be too difficult. For one thing, since the form requires taking up to seven steps forward and then back, and about as many to the side, as well as turning around in different directions, it's kind of hard to watch the TV screen while doing all that. This also requires a larger practice area than most Qigong forms (which are relatively stationary) so you'd need a pretty spacious room, or to practice outdoors (which is ideal but not always convenient). Another thing is that the movements are not demonstrated slowly enough for the beginner, and the spoken instruction doesn't always help in elaborating either. Even with the form broken up into sections and repeated several times, its hard to work on each part without getting lost with the movements and pacing. It's definitely one of the more complex Qigongs I've seen. It looks like a wonderful practice though and I'm giving it 3 stars because the production is pretty good (considering its not a slick, high-budget commercial production) and Dr. Hu is clearly very skilled and probably an excellent personal teacher. This DVD (as well as "Wild Goose IV" and I imagine the rest of the series) would probably work best as a practice aid or reminder for those who have learned the form in a class.
