Qi Gong (Life Energy Cultivation) plays a crucial role in Shaolin Kung Fu. Its purpose is to build inner strength that aids the physical body's functions. It is considered an internal martial art that expresses the power of the mind. As a result, students are urged to engage in Qi Gong-internal training to improve their physical Kung Fu training.

Qi Gong includes synchronized body postures and movements, breathing techniques, and meditation for health, spirituality, and martial arts practice. With origins in Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, it is traditionally seen as a method to cultivate and balance qi.

Typically, Qigong practice features moving meditation with slow, flowing movements, deep rhythmic breathing, and a tranquil meditative state of mind.

1. Enhanced well-being and better health.
2. A calm and clear mind.
3. Deeper, more restorative sleep. Qigong can assist you in achieving the deep relaxation and mental stillness required for restful sleep.
4. Boosted energy levels, including increased sexual vitality and fertility. Practitioners of qigong tend to have more energy; it can rejuvenate and restore vitality.
5. Clear complexion. In accordance with Chinese medicine, as your qigong practice advances, your body detoxifies, leading to clearer skin.
6. Positive mindset. An old Tibetan saying goes, “You can identify a Yogi by their laughter.” Regular and balanced qigong practice typically fosters a cheerful and optimistic outlook.
7. Improved metabolism. Digestion becomes more efficient, and hair and nails grow at a faster rate.
8. Enhanced physiological regulation. This signifies that bodily functions that were previously imbalanced or uncontrolled begin to stabilize, such as breathing rates, heart rates, blood pressure, hormone levels, and issues related to chronic inflammation or depletion.
9. Intuition and creativity. These two aspects feed into each other and arise from a shared origin—a stimulated mind and being, enabling instinctive thinking and emotional insight.
10. Spiritual impacts. Progress in qigong frequently brings about various spiritual experiences.
