Yi Jin Jing
Yi Jin Jing (tondon-changing classic) is a method of health-building exercise that comes down from ancient China, and its purpose is to strengthen the muscles and tendons. Legend goes that the monk Bodhidarma, the founder of Zen in China, advanced Yi Jin Jing. And then the monks in Shaolin Temple developed it and used it for health promotion. Yi Jin Jing has been greatly influencing the traditional Chinese national sports.
Health Qigong Yi Jin Jing embodies the essence of traditional Yi Jin Jing 12 forms. It has been developed, simplified and standardized on the modern theories and methods of health science, so as to be a smooth and coherent set of movements. Hence it is of more remarkable characteristics in health promotion.
