3.0 out of 5 stars Wild Goose Chase, October 22, 2003

By 

Inflated Expectations "John Q Public" (The Doghouse Upper Mongolia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wild Goose Qigong [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The original source, or well spring, for this style of qigong was Grandmaster Yang Mei-Jun who recently died at the astounding old age of 107! Unfortunately for the fellow demonstrating on this video, Grandmaster Yang only sanctioned three "official" teachers or disciples of her ancient Wild Goose style in North America: Masters Hui Liu, Bingkun Hu and Michael Tse.

For the best combination of books/videos on the subject I would use Michael Tse's tome "Wild Goose Qigong 1st 64 Movements" (available via www.qimagazine.com) and Dr. Bingkun Hu's outstanding selection of videos at www.threegeese.com. I'm also partial to Wen-Mei Yu's book "Chi Kung" and her complementary set of three videos even though she isn't an official teacher. (Alternatively, use the two Wild Goose videos -- 1st 64 and 2nd 64 Movements -- by Lu Yuzhi.) For the final word on the subject, though, I'd follow the teachings of one of the three official disciples.

Summary: If you're gonna go to the trouble of learning an 1800-year-old skill, ya might as well do it right!
