The Dragon Chi Kung Seminar with Sifu Mike Genzmer

The Dragon wakes up in its deep ocean lair
its heartbeat quickening,
Slowly slithering away like an eel
Searching for the disturbance
Rising from the depths, she fa jings (thrusts out) from the water
Fire and Water rushing out in the Air,
The sound of its Roar announcing its presence.
Then Stillness, ahh sweet silence, the world standing still for this moment,
It takes off in flight soaring to the heights with the eagles,
Catching the wind currents like the clouds floating by
Suddenly, it sees its target, moving slowly on the ground with graceful movements,
Swooping down, aiming at the unsuspecting one, it approaches
Consumes and smiles, as zhong ding, nei guan (aligned / centered, inner reflection) happens.
Now I am awake and my belly grumbles.
-Mike Genzmer 2008

Dragon is the only style created from a mythical animal. The system is based on Chinese folklore, stories, and fables passed down orally. To the Chinese, the Dragon was a fabulous creature, a yang force, benevolent, life giving and worthy of reverence.

The Dragon Chi Kung you will learn in this seminar utilizes the principle of combining opposites directing from the center of the body outward this active dynamic yang energy. This energy resembles the fire of creative energy like the season of full summer.

One can expect to learn these opposite forces by practicing how to move the body combining:
* footwork with hands - zig and zag stepping movements
* moving forwards and backwards - straight line & circular
* diagonal & twisting - soft & hard
* moving up and down - extending and contracting
* internal & external - coiling/withdrawing & uncoiling/expanding

It's fun, easy to learn and you will be easily able to refine your Chi Kung skill using the methods taught with this Dragon Chi Kung.
