• The word qi (chee) is often translated

“vital energy” and gong means “work.”• So qigong may be interpreted as

“working with vital energy.” Qigong as

a healing art is a precursor to all themartial arts;

•  before the Shaolin monks developed

the gongfu (kung fu) for which they

are famous, they trained in qigong to

maximize their health.
