Well, well, well, I don't know if you are interested in it or not, but anyway here comes about Chinese Kiko (Qigong/Chi Kung).
The Japanese word "Kiko" itself comes from a Chinese word "Qigong" or "Chi Kung", so it's kind of funny to call it "Chinese Kiko" which means Chinese version of Kiko.
Well then, is there "Japanese Kiko" which means Japanese version of Kiko? Some Kiko methods in Japan is kind of mixture of Chinese Kiko and yoga and breathing methods and so on. So we can call them "Japanese Kiko", maybe.
As for Chinese Kiko (Qigong/Chi Kung), you might have seen some Chinese Kiko (Qigong/Chi Kung) shows on TV such as; a car run over a people, or a people lay down on thorns, or break a brick on head, or receive a boxer's blow in the pit of the stomach. It is such an entertainment. But if they are strong that much, I think they can be on the list of K-1 champions quite easily, but I have never ever seen any of them at all in tournaments.
Anyway, let's talk about Chinese Kiko (Qigong/Chi Kung).
And anyway, those "entertainment" things are extensions of Chinese Kiko so talking about this means talking about that, so it's not "anyway". But anyway, in order to reach those "entertainer" levels, utmost efforts and ascetic practices are required, so the lectures here will be for those who have no time and have no intention of making those extreme efforts all day long.
There are hundreds of thousands of Kiko methods, so if I write about all of them here, it will be never-ending story, and life is too short for you to master all of them. So here, in my lecture on Chinese Kiko (Qigong/Chi Kung), I would like to pick up most popular and easy ones; Tantoko and Suwaisyo.
Another famous one is Hachidankin (or Hachidan-nishiki), but as there are loads of books and DVDs on this method, I think I do not necessarily explain here about it passionately. So if you interested in other ones, please visit book shops or libraries to stand around reading the books as much as you want, or watch DVDs or visit schools offering adult education classes to master the methods.
Actually, although I have studied and mastered hundreds of various Kiko methods and Breathing methods, what I do now is only Suwaisyo. I simply do it every time before I play sports as a part of warm-up procedure.
