With the Kung Fu Living program you set the pace.

We have given you a carefully structured program that you can follow literally one click at a time.  However, life gets in the way of the best laid plans and it is easy to work around difficulties.  You don’t have to do all of day’s activities in one day.  You could make a day’s activities spread over several days, or indeed you could do two days of activities in one day if you get the time and enthusiasm.

What is the difference between Chi Kung and Tai Chi?

It might be easiest to say that Chi Kung (Qi Gong, Chi Gung and other spellings) is the mother of Tai Chi.  Or that Tai Chi is a branch of Chi Kung and it uses similar concepts though Tai Chi is taught in much longer forms.  Tai Chi Forms, or choreographed sets of movements, are learned to create relatively long routines, these can be 24, 42 and even 88 movements long.  Tai Chi forms include movements that originate in kung fu, though they are now so far removed that even experienced martial artists would struggle to recognise them and identify their uses for combat.
