While there are some advantages to learning in a classroom setting, there are also disadvantages. For example, once the class is over, you don’t have the teacher there to help you in your daily practice. Our experience is that in a classroom setting, students often have difficulty remembering corrections they receive. In an online program you can go over the detailed instruction and corrections again and again via the pdf and videos. A common complaint from students in a classroom setting is that the class moves too slowly or too quickly, or not enough time is spent on certain exercises which are particularly difficult. So another advantage of our online learning program is you can learn at your own speed.

Secondly, in a classroom setting, one tends to teach in a linear fashion. In our experience, these Nei Gong exercises are only truly mastered and understood through a circular learning method, involving constant recursion. This circular learning method is much easier to actualize in an online learning class.

Xing Yi Nei Gong is designed for practitioners of all levels. Tom has taught these same exercises to people at all levels of ability: beginning students, advanced practitioners of Nei Gong and martial arts, and to patients as rehabilitative exercise in clinical settings. The Xing Yi Nei Gong exercises are explained clearly and in such detail that you will not be disappointed, whether you are a beginning student or an experienced practitioner. Understanding the purpose of each exercise, and learning the critical details of correct performance, make all the difference in receiving the full benefits of the Xing Yi Nei Gong exercises.

The Standard Program offers a cheaper option for people who have a lot of experience with Nei Gong or who have studied Xing Yi Nei Gong before. If you have experience with Nei Gong Exercises or have learned Xing Yi Nei Gong, you may be happy with the Standard Program.

However, our experience in teaching these exercises to hundreds of students is that detailed instruction and corrections from a master teacher make all the difference, providing you with the most thorough and detailed understanding of each exercise. Correct performance maximizes the effect of the exercises. In a classroom setting it’s often impossible to present all the key details of Nei Gong. However, in a program with written and video materials, it is possible to delineate all the key points and corrections for each exercise. That’s what makes this program unique. For this reason we highly recommend the more comprehensive Deluxe Program.

If you haven’t studied Xing Yi Nei Gong before, you should purchase the Deluxe Program.

Yes! In the detailed explanation videos and written materials, the connection of each Xing Yi Nei Gong exercise to specific practices of Xing Yi Quan is discussed. Many Xing Yi practitioners draw on Qi Gong sets unrelated to Xing Yi in order to round out their practice. It is even more valuable to practice a set of Nei Gong exercises that directly relates to the art you practice. Every movement in Xing Yi Nei Gong is related to the internal dynamics of Xing Yi Quan. Many of the movements have a direct relationship to the Five Fists and 12 Animal Forms – Xing Yi Nei Gong focuses on and isolates these power dynamics. Regular practice of Xing Yi Nei Gong helps balance your practice and can be used as an internal “warm up” before practice of Xing Yi’s forms and partner exercises.

Starting January 1, 2015, the European Union (EU) made a major change to its VAT regulations, that now requires businesses to pay VAT according to the locations of consumers. This law was meant mainly for large companies that have been avoiding higher taxes by establishing presences in places with lower VAT. Unfortunately, the regulation change also put a burden on independent creators who sell digital products to customers in Europe.

We’re unhappy with this new law as it puts a large burden on us, and you, the customer, end up paying more. However, we are forced to comply with the new law. We use Gumroad as the payment portal because they are reliable and trusted, and in addition they now collect the VAT automatically. We do not personally collect or receive the VAT. The VAT is collected by Gumroad and distributed to the proper authorities in each country by Gumroad.

If you are also unhappy with the new VAT law, we suggest you contact the appropriate local representative in your country.

The videos will be accessible indefinitely. We are committed to maintaining your ability to gain access to them.

It is not possible to answer everyone’s questions about training and many questions are impossible to answer through words alone. We encourage you to practice the material as many questions can only be answered through practice. We do offer workshops in Five Element Qi Gong periodically in New York City and Europe, so if you feel the need to fine-tune your practice, it might be useful to attend a workshop in person.

In general, young people do not need health maintenance exercises beyond their normal activities of running, walking, hiking, climbing and sports or martial arts. There is the exceptional young person who might benefit from these exercises, however, they should be recommended to that person by an experienced teacher or a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.
