Chi kung is the art of energy management. At the bottom line, having excess weight is an energy problem; it is a case of locked energy converted into excessive mass, and is a manifestation of yin-yang disharmony. Practising chi kung will enable you to achieve both an optimum body weight and an optimum body shape. The forte of chi kung is to restore yin-yang harmony. Once your yin-yang harmony is restored, your body systems will convert the excess mass into useful energy, giving you your ideal weight.

Hence, from the chi kung perspective, doing excessive physical exercise to burn off calories is not only wasteful, it is also detrimental to health. It is wasteful because instead of using the energy to produce useful work, it is burnt off unnecessarily. It is detrimental to health because vital organs like the heart, lungs and kidneys, which are already weak in an overweight person, are overworked in the unnecessary burning. ~ Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit

Wholesome Beauty, Vitality and Peak Performance

Sifu Bernie

Our school is noted for being SIMPLE, DIRECT AND EFFECTIVE. You need not wait for a few years to see results. If you just follow simple instructions directly - you will feel the effects of the exercise immediately during your practice, and see remarkable result in a few months. You need to practice just one exercise for about 15 MINUTES per session, two sessions per day. This is something that many people find it hard to accept or even believe, but it is true. I would like to share how practising Chi Kung has helped me to overcome chronic anxiety, regain health and emotional strength, have greater courage to face and flow with challenges, to have a sense of joy and free spirit and deeper awareness, to be grateful and to share my blessings to others.

Chi Kung has helped in many aspects of my life especially improvement in my daily functioning and interpersonal relationship. Regular practice of chi kung has increased my energy level to an extent that after demanding hours at work professionally, I can enjoy many activities including long distance Cycling, competitive level Badminton and my regular 20laps Swim. I am now enjoying the Kota Kinabalu Shaolin Kung Fu classes!

Dr Loga Iyer Budhia

The art of Qigong consists primarily of the use of intention, meditation, relaxation, physical movement or posture, mind-body integration, and breathing exercises. Practitioners of Qigong develop an awareness of qi sensations (energy) in their body and use their mind to guide the Qi for improving their health. It gives people a practical way to take more responsibility for their own health care, especially for disease prevention and wellness. Qigong is not just a physical exercise system or a healing technique; it is a way of being.

I have recently become aware of Qigong and feel that this practice is just what I need now. I learnt about the different styles and what was best for me. I am seeking mind, body, spirit connection as well as physical healing, deep inner peace, finding Qi and using it, increased strength and abilities, and deep, deep relaxation. So don't give up when you start Qi gong and don't see the results immediately and you feel no immediate changes. Have patience and practice practice and practice till you perfect ,as my dear friend and Sifu Bernie always reminds. Special Thanks to Kissey family for helping me in one way or other and special thanks to Doreen.
God bless Merry Christmas and happy new year.

Cornelia, 59 years

I have practised Chi Kung for several years now and continue to do so as it had brought improvements and positive and bright changes to my life and generally to my family too. My initial exposure to Chi Kung coincided with that stage of my life when I was a busy parent or mother raising up and caring etc. for three young daughters. This of course entails a lot of energy and maintaining one's good health is important to be able to cope and manage well. Health wise I didn't have any illness problem safe for catching the cold now and then but I was concerned about keeping healthy and building up stamina or energy, vitality, reducing stress and be happier or in short get more out of life. So I took up Chi Kung and made time to practice regularly and gotten better through the years and thus in short it has helped to improve my overall health and I feel more energetic and cheery. Now my daughters are all grown up and leading their own independent life, and I can say my cheery and positive attitude helps towards improved communication or relationships with them.

My increased energy level and also stronger mental attitude has enabled me to enjoy outdoor activities like long walks or hiking in highland areas and mountain climbing and some cycling and through this appreciate nature and feel joy and gratitude. The special chi kung exercises help in toning up the body and maintaining a healthy figure or optimum body shape, help me maintain a healthy backbone and also helps me stay more focussed. Also I feel inspired to do things more creatively for examples in gardening activity, art and craft work, writing and so on. In conclusion I would also be happy to recommend others who wish or hope to bring changes for the better for their health and a happier life to give themselves a chance to realise this.

Mathilda, 54 years

I become a Chi Kung practitioner after the birth of my fourth child in 2000. Practicing the Art of building Internal Energy had greatly enhanced my quality of life especially being a busy mother of four active kids and a full time Homemaker. The Art has helped me to cope even better in many aspects of my life. I hardly ever visit the Doctor except for normal general health routine. I'm a lot calmer and can focus well. My sleep has greatly improved and during wakeful moments I can hear lovely sounds of music, feels cheerful, feels appreciative, grateful and is able to enjoy the day even when the day's gloomy! I would highly recommend this Art to everyone.

Note: Mathilda is now grandmother to a beautiful baby girl, Helena

Dr Maria, 50 years

I am blessed with a beautiful family and a career I enjoy. I was introduced to Chi Kung several years ago at the right time when I was seeking for a deeper meaning in my life. I took the big step into a bigger dream and I have never looked back. I can only confirm that the Shaolin Chi Kung that I am practising has worked tremendously for me and benefited my whole family as I carry on as a person, wife and mother. I love how the art of Cosmic shower has rejuvenated me. I feel and look younger and increased stamina to enjoy my other hobbies such as gym and badminton.
