Interested in learning about controling your chi, like the shaloin monks or Bruce Lee's 1 inch punch. I have a black belt in karate but our dojo shut down about 4 years ago, and I'm just now wanting to get back into the martial arts. No other dojos are in my town (it's a kinda small town) except this one stupid as hell one that teaches Tae-Bo and basically commerical Tae-kwon-do.

I'd really like to learn Olympic Tae-Kwon-Do and compete but there are no trainers anywhere close to me.

So if anyone has any information I'd sure be glad if yah informed me!

you want to learn qigong, can you stand in a horse stance without moving for at least an hour? can you meditate? Learning qigong is a long, and boring process, and you need a teacher if you want to learn, you cant really learn out of books or videos, because if you do even a little thing wrong without someone to correct you everything will be a waste.

a warning for those who try to learn qigong
on your own: it is very dangerous as your
'qi' might cause serious injury if you
dont control them well....

Standing in a horse stnace for a hour isn't a problem, keeping focused would be though. And about meditation, any religion involved in it? I'm a firm Christian and don't want to be like a buddisht monk or something.

Thanks for the info.

no problems with meditation really unless philosophy is against your religion.
it can be done religiously, christian meditation exists too but imo it'd be a bit limiting that way.

whats qigong? im interested in chi training, plus ninjitsu for the sense training, bout the only interest i have in martial arts is for mind expansion, not body.
