I've been invited to a very exclusive (expensive!) QiGong seminar tomorrow very last minute and have no idea what to expect. (To make a long story short a friend of the family who practices tai chi and qigong who just happens to be famous artist is letting the instructor use his building for the seminar so they are bringing me with) I know basically nothing about this art at all, only what I was told in about 20 minutes of conversation. What I was told was so alien to me I can hardly comprehend. I practice Kenpo, a self defense based art. From what I understand, there is no hitting people at all in this. Just sort of... breathing? I had always equated martial arts to you know, fighting people, or at least defending yourself... I wasn't aware you could have a martial art with no strikes. What do you do? What is this about drawing energy? It just seems so strange...
could someone give me a crash course of the basic basic basics and what to expect, what to wear, how to act?
(and why is it soo expensive to learn these forms??)
