Column 1, 2 & 3

Students are given a qigong/neigong ticksheet when they join the school and this is used throughout their training.

Column 1 is
just about the crude pattern.
It is the outline of the exercise, with no real refinement.

Column 2 is explored in the blue belt syllabus.
T
his is about accurate, controlled performance and learning to incorporate neigong qualities.

Column 3 occurs in the 5th dan syllabus.
Every exercise is a whole-body movement; smooth, efficient, optimal.

This ticksheet represents a crucial yardstick for individual progress.
Only by working through the columns can the exercises be honed and ultimately understood.
