Having problems with message search?
yup they do but it's a "bastardized" version mixing it with yoga if i'm not mistaken. and they offer the lesson for 2,500/month. further more, my opinion on going to fitness first (only here in pampanga) is for porma. a lot of the folks there are socialite wanna bes
i'll try to cantact him. don't worry i understand how hard it is to connect with other areas or coordinate.

Try to call him though.I learned that Fitness First Philippines will open soon in SM Pampanga. That firm offers tai chi lessons in some of their centers. I just don't know how much they charge.Good day!-- roh mih

If you wish to learn TaiChi QiGong ShiBaShi directly from a teacher you may want to check out regular sessions at the Good Shepherd Convent in Aurora (beside LRT2 Katipunan station, beside St.Bridgette's School) thursday mornigns 8-10am. They have been the forerunner in spreading ShiBaShi in the Phils. through Sr. Marimil Lobregat, FMM a teacher at the Chi Chinese Healing College-Australia who has been visiting the Phils. now and then to teach QiGong & Tai Chi. They also practice other forms like Dao Yin, Dayan Qi Gong, Tai Chi fan, Dragon fan, 5 seasons Qi Gong, Lou Han Gong. Their ShiBaShi has even evolved into a walking form. :-)

Shibashi Qigong Newsletter - Issue V.6 Spring 2007
Announcement:1. There will be a 3-day Shibashi Instructor Training Course, taught by Master Cheung, on April 20th, 2007 @ London (Horsham), U.K. For details, please visit http://www.taichi18.com/workshop_ london.htm 2.

If you have trouble logging in, please email your username to qigong@taichi18.com _____________________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ ____ Recently a fellow qigong master asked me read about the M-theory (superstring theory). According to this theory, all particles in the universe are made up of tiny vibrating strings. However, the idea of matter being made of tiny vibrating strings is not new. Eastern philosophers have long perceived energy as being the smallest entity of matter. Thus, there is reason to believe that many Eastern philosophies will be validated as western science advances.Can one start teaching others qigong after just attending a 3-day qigong workshop? The answer is yes and no. It depends on the style of qigong you are learning to teach. Generally speaking, the forms of qigong that do not involve visualization, reverse breathing and the use of the upper dan tian are the easiest and safest to learn. Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi is a type of qigong that does not involve these components. The movements present in Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi are simple and not at all physically demanding. That is the reason why I have chosen to create a video that goes through the individual movements of this style of Qigong in detail.From reading the testimonials that have been written by people who have watched the Shibashi Qigong video, I have learnt that many start teaching this type of Qigong after viewing the movements on video. Many comment on how the health of their students has improved with the practicing of this style of Qigong. However, it is uncertain that all viewers of the video would learn all Shibashi movements correctly. Direct instruction is always a better method of learning since improper technique can be recognized and corrected. I am offering a training course in Shibashi in hopes of standardizing and controlling the quality of instructors who would like to teach this form of Qigong.The core of this course is to teach instructors how to lead their students into the so called “qigong mode.” Entrance into this mode is absolutely essential when practicing qigong. It is what makes practicing the movements in qigong different from a gentle fitness routine or a deep breathing exercise. Learning to enter this mode can be quite challenging when relying solely on videos or books for instruction. Direct instruction is the best way to learn how to enter qigong mode. In order for instructors to teach their students how to enter this mode, they must have entered this mode themselves.Qigong mode is characterized by a brainwave frequency of 7-10 Hz. Our brainwave frequency when carrying out normal tasks during the day is above 14 Hz (beta wave). When we are relaxed and are in a peaceful stage, our brainwave is between 8-13 Hz (alpha wave). When we are sleeping, our brainwave frequency decreases to about 4-7 Hz (theta wave). In deep sleep, it is about 0.5-3 Hz (delta wave). Since the brainwave frequency when achieving qigong mode is within the lower range of the alpha wave, we should let our minds relax as much as possible before practicing Shibashi. That is why we do the Wuji stance prior to practicing Shibashi.
