Over 1,800 years ago, Daoist originators of Kunlun Dayan Qigong, based their style upon the movements and qualities of the highly revered Da Yan / 'Great Goose' (the Bar Headed Goose). These movements were also born out of principles from the Yì jīng 易經, the Bāguà 八卦, Jīngluò 經絡, and ancient Chinese / Daoist medical knowledge. Hence, a 128-movement form was created, comprising the '1st 64' and '2nd 64' forms:

The Wild Goose Qigong 1st 64 (or ‘Front 64’) is where your Foundation training begins. Based upon the 'Later-Heaven' Bagua, it consists of 64 graceful movements and benefits post-natal Qi issues. Just alone, the 1st 64 is a very comprehensive exercise, stimulating and restoring the entire body. Suitable for all abilities. Currently 70+ videos, totalling 4+ hrs. [Value $150.

The Wild Goose Qigong 2nd 64 (also known as ‘Back 64’), continues from where the 1st 64 leaves off and completes the Foundation Dong Gong exercises. These 64 movements are based on the 'Pre-Heaven' Bagua and work on deeper, pre-natal issues in the body. Whilst, generally speaking, the 1st 64 gathers and builds Qi, the 2nd 64 involves larger Qi field movements and 'expelling' actions. You will have preferably completed and trained the 1st 64 for 6-months before starting the 2nd 64 training. Currently 69 videos, totalling approx. 2 hrs of training.

The Wild Goose Wu Xing Jing Gong | 五行静功 is the fundamental Jing Gong / meditation practice in the Wild Goose system. I prefer to think of this practice as ‘Cultivating Stillness’. You can practise this simply sitting on a chair. Jing Gong should be practised in tandem with the dynamic Dong Gong exercises, as they mutually reinforce and promote the cultivation and internal mobilization of Qi. Wu Xing Jing Gong comprises five different methods, which can achieve ‘Small & Large Heavenly Circuits’ and strong external Qi fields. The first two of these methods are taught in this course; the Natural Qi Sinking Method | 自然沉气法 and Silently Spoken Qi Cultivation Method | 默念养气法. Contemporary research and neuroscience further recognize the benefits of regular meditation including; increased immunity, empathy, focus, improved cardiovascular health, and stress reduction.

Wild Goose Qigong Pai Da Gong | 拍打健身功 (also referred to as ‘(Healthy) Slapping Gong' or 'Body Strengthening by Patting') is an essential shorter exercise (4-mins) and can be learned independently of the 1st and 2nd 64. Its moves are relatively less technical and physically demanding, making it suitable for all ages and abilities - particularly for the elderly or those with a weak constitution. Though shorter, Pai Da Gong is a very effective and comprehensive exercise - working on the Yin & Yang channels of legs and arms, Dai Mai, and San Jiao. Patting is great to clear stagnation in the body. It can benefit lumbo-sacral issues, sciatic problems and neuropathy of the limbs. It helps promote blood and lymph circulation, bone density and more… Currently 28 videos, totalling over 1 hour of training content [Value $50. Access now with your Da Yan Academy Free Trial]

The Wild Goose Kidney Gong | 五行健腎功 (or Kidney Strengthening Gong) is part of a set of exercises practised specifically to nourish or treat particular Zang Fu / ‘organs’ of the body. These include; Heart, Stomach, Liver and Kidney. The Kidney ‘patterns’ (in Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine theory) are always deficient - exacerbated by overwork, stress, lack of sleep and effects of ageing. This is a moving exercise (Dong Gong) designed to treat the above, strengthening the Kidney by way of tapping Kidney Shu points & Ming Men, whilst also nourishing the Lungs. This course currently consists of 17 training videos, totalling over 40-mins. [Value $50. Access now with your Da Yan Academy Free Trial]
