In 4 weeks practising the Shaolin Qigong, I’ve had my joint pain and stiffness disappear.

Digestion, sleep, resilience. I’m doing almost 2 hours a day of standing and I can feel the difference in everything.

— Zhang Zhuang student
★★★★★

The information in the manual is very clear and easy to understand, and it’s great to have the video for a visual to clarify details. Both relaxing and great for strength building.

Common questions

Do I need any experience to start?

No. Qigong 101 assumes nothing. If you can stand and breathe, you can begin. The 10-day standing guide is free if you want to try the feel of it first.

How much time does it take?

15–20 minutes a day is enough to make steady progress. Consistency matters far more than session length.

Is this Tai Chi or Qigong?

Mostly Qigong — the energy-cultivation practice that Tai Chi is built on. Tai Chi Ruler Qigong is the bridge between the two. Here’s the difference explained.

What do I get when I buy a course?

Instant, lifetime online access to the lesson PDFs and videos, plus the ability to email Sifu Dan directly with questions about your practice.
