Esteemed Colleagues,
The naming of this thread was taken from the "Modern Science and Qigong" thread so I thank that person for having the foresight to merge modern science and yangshengong (also known as qigong, neigong, yangshen, neiyanggong, etc with its numerous spellings) practices to see if it matters, or if it is important.
I have decided to use and apply those principles to what is presently called taijiquan (many spellings, of course).
Here is a link to journal that differentiated the many manifestation of taijiquan (24, 48, 42 postures, etc) and showed the benefit/outcome.
How exactly does taijiquan work?
a. Is it qi?
b. If I do not believe in qi, but still do taijiquan, will I get benefit from it?
c. Which form is better? Why
d. Can I make up a taijiquan form, teach it and people still get benefit from it? Why?
e. WIll waving one's hands in the air and acting as if you don't care show benefit? Why?
f. What part does relaxation (response) play in helping participants?
g. If I make up a 6 posture form, and teach it, will students experience any benefit?
h. WIll there be benefit with post standing exercise?
Take a look at the endpoints associated with some of the figures.
