Chi Kung or Qigong is pronounced 'chee gung' and its techniques offer many people from around the world a viable and potent exercise routine. Chi Kung has its origins in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is at the roots of Tai Chi. It is said to have initially grown out of natural movements devised by Chinese peasants thousands of years ago, to make them feel better and relieve their joint pains and muscular aches. From these humble beginnings has evolved an exercise form which promotes health on all levels, the sucess of which is well documented both in China and America.
