To understand the Qi Gong, we go into a little history, without going into too much detail. Martial Arts originally started with an Indian monk who traveled to China he about 4,000 years ago, and has taught his system of martial arts to the Buddhist monks of Shaolin Temple. Many traditional Chinese medical arts began thereafter, and were combined with martial arts in complex systems and detailed training, weapons, and medicines.
Yoga and Tai Chi and Qi Gong are very similar, and that is not a surprise. After many centuries, these practices have become an essential the fabric of Chinese society and the general population of young people to the very elderly have practiced the arts to health, to prevent and cure diseases, to calm the mind, and for longevity and virility.
Qi Gong or Dao-yin, has obscure origins, but many exercise books and old military exercises are similar movements dating back over 2,000 years. It is interesting to note that in 1973, Chinese archaeologists found the tomb of King Ma who lived during the Han Dynasty Western 206 BC - 24 AD. In the tomb, they found rolls representative 44 people in various poses, or schema Dao-yin with the name of an animal or the name of a disease that the posture can help to heal. Some postures are very similar to those of Section Eight Brocade.

"The human body must have exercise, but it should never be done point of exhaustion. In moving about briskly, digestion is improved, the blood vessels are opened, and illnesses are prevented. It is used as a threshold that does not rot. As far as Tao Yin (bending and stretching) is concerned, we have the bear's neck, turn the crane, and balancing the size and moving the joints to promote long life. Now, I created the art called the antics of five animals, Tiger, Deer, bears, monkeys and cranes. It eliminates sickness, benefits the legs, and is a form of Tao Yin. If you feel a bad mood, just to practice one of my Frolics. A gentle sweat is released, the complexion is pink, the body feels light and you'll want to eat.

Bodhidharma, the great founder of the Shaolin temple styles, taught a series of 18 exercises know that the 18 hands of Lohan. This Shaolin Lohan Qigong (the art of breathing beings awake), "is an internal set of exercises to cultivate the" three treasures " energy Qi or Chi (vital), Jing (essence) and Shen (spirit), "according to Howard Choy. Sifu Wong Kiew Kit or Master said that" the first eight hands Lohan is the same as the eight exercises in a famous series of chi kung (or qigong) exercises called Eight Pieces of Brocade.
There are versions different, both sitting and standing on the 18 movements of Qi Gong Lohan. Some of the 18 Lohan have up to 4 levels and dozens of forms of movement.
