Taiji Qigong Shibashi Set 1 Master Course

When you first learn a Qigong movement, your mind is busy remembering

Upper body, lower body, which direction, how far. There is no room yet for anything else. This is normal and necessary. You learn the choreography, you repeat it, and at some point the movement becomes familiar enough that the mind quiets down.

That is usually where people get distracted and move on to the next thing. New movements, a different form, another course.

It is also exactly where the real training begins.

Once the choreography is no longer occupying your attention, the door opens for the breath to come in. Once the breath is guiding the movement, the internal pressure it creates starts to circulate Qi and blood more deeply through the body. Once that is happening, the mind finds a quality of quietness that is not boredom. It is the beginning of entering tranquility. And in that state, a new layer of feedback becomes available: the warmth, the magnetic sensation between the hands, the buoyancy in the body. Your own internal system telling you the practice is working.

Most people who practice Qigong never reach this layer. Why?. Because no one showed them what it looks like, or how to get there.

This course does that.

Your investment

$500 one-time payment, lifetime access across all your devices. or 12 monthly payments of $50.

If you later move into the Teacher Training, the cost of this course applies toward the bundle. You are not paying for it twice.

What changes when you train with this foundation

The most common response I hear from students after we work through a movement together is: "This feels like a completely different movement."

From the outside, almost nothing changed. From the inside, everything did.

What changes is not the choreography. What changes is whether the movement is driven by the external shape of the arms and legs, or by the breath pressure expanding from the center outward. When the second thing is happening, the body knows it. You know it, because your internal system tells you.

That feedback becomes your most reliable reference point, both for your own practice and, if you teach, for reading your students.

Who this course is for

• Practitioners who want to understand what is actually happening inside the body during each movement, not just what it looks like from the outside.
• Teachers who feel the limit of what their training covered. You teach the movements. The internal engine was never passed on to you.
• Therapists and Acupuncturists who want to integrate a complete Qigong system into clinical practice with real depth and grounded in anatomy and Chinese medicine.
• Complete beginners who want to build the foundation correctly from the start, without having to unlearn things later.
• Experienced practitioners who have practiced for years and want to know why what they are doing works, or why it has stopped developing.

If you are considering the Teacher Training, this course is its foundation. The 10 private sessions build on what the course establishes. Starting here is starting in the right place.

Where this comes from

Professor Lin Housheng created the Taiji Qigong Shibashi system at the request of the Chinese government in the late 1970s, following his scientific research with Physicist Gu Hansen demonstrating the measurable effects of Qi. The system he built is rooted in structure, breath, meditation, and clinical application. It is not a simplified exercise routine. Every movement has a therapeutic mechanism.

I began studying privately with Professor Lin in 2011 and continued working with him regularly until 2019, before the pandemic made travel temporarily impossible.

I had 15 years of Chinese Medicine and Qigong training behind me when we first met. What he showed me was a synthesis of 60 years of refinement. It was a complete system of principles simplifying everything I had encountered, principles that reorganized how I understood Qigong from the ground up. The Taiji Qigong Shibashi he built is rooted in structure, breath, meditation, and clinical application in a way that most Qigong systems never approach.

Professor Lin personally authorized me to organize, promote, and train teachers in the complete system. I am one of two Westerners with that authorization, documented and signed by Professor Lin himself.

A note on pace

Don't try to move through 40 hours in a week. Even if you have the time, that is information without integration, which produces knowledge without transformation.

Three to six months is the right timeframe for most people, depending on your existing familiarity with the system. Go through the first layer at a pace that lets you practice what you are learning between sessions. Come back to the second layer after you have lived with the movements long enough that the questions it answers are questions you have actually been asking.

The course does not expire. Return to it as your practice develops. What you hear in a section at month two will sound different at month eight. That is not because the material changed. It is because you did.

Before you enroll

Is this suitable for complete beginners? Yes. The first layer of the course is designed to take you from the beginning through correct form. Prior experience will accelerate your progress. It is not required.

How long do I have access? Lifetime access across all your devices. No expiry.

What if I only want to deepen my personal practice and have no interest in teaching? That is a valid reason to be here. The teaching depth in this course benefits your personal practice directly. Understanding what a movement does and why it works changes how you practice it.

Is this the same as the Teacher Training? This course is the foundation of the Teacher Training. The Teacher Training adds 10 private 1-on-1 sessions with me, spaced to your integration, plus merit-based lineage certification. If your goal is to certify to teach, the bundle is the path. If your goal is depth of personal practice, this course is complete on its own.
