Qi Gong
Basically there are 2 types of qi gong exercises.
1st. Internal qi gong exercises: Health maintainance exercises
2nd. External qi gong exercises: To
break bricks etc.
What most people don't know is, that its is not necesarry to do internal
qi gong to be able
to do external qi gong. External Gi gong exercises are when you systematecally harden
your
bones and learn the right technique to break something.
Of course concentration is necessary too, becasue if you don't concentrate
and hit slightly wrong,
you can injure yourself badly.
Internal qi gong exercises on the other side are a medetative exercise
forms similar to yoga.
In many chinese martial arts shows, ( like the shaolin shows ) meditation
exercises are shown
before external qi gong acts. These internal exercises are more for the show effect.
They are not
necessary.
Of course meditation exercises are done by all qi gong practicioners
because concentration
is important, but nobody can focus his energy to break something with these exercises.
( That's
only an ancient chinese thought )
