This review is from: Wild Goose Qigong: Natural Movement for Healthy Living (Paperback)

I have the Bingkun Hu DVD and the Wen Mei Yu VHS, first 64 movements of Wild Goose Qigong. Hong-Chao Zhang may not be a "disciple" but I enjoy the pace and feel of how he performs the form. I have both the DVD and book for Hong-Chao Zhang. The book is a good accompaniment. The only thing I would say that could be improved in the book is to clarify or leave out what I guess are the accupuncture points of the body. As an example on pp, 43 part of the sentence states; point L14 of your left hand presses B23, B52, G26, SP15, S25, and K16. Unless, you have some training on what these points are, the reference is not very helpful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Have A Gander, July 17, 2000

Not a bad book for beginners, but an even better one covering the 1st 64 movements of the Wild Goose system is Wen Mei Yu's "Chi Kung: Taoist Secrets of Fitness and Longevity." Rumour has it that Master Michael Tse is coming out with his own "Grandmaster Yang Meijun approved" version of the 1st 64 movements as well. Stay tuned. If you don't have a certified teacher nearby, in addition to a book you'll need Wen Mei Yu's 3 videos. Excellent production, lighting, English voice-over and quality.
