From the Actor
Tripod & Spiral Qigong is one of those rare jewels which can be enjoyed by both Qigong beginners and advanced practioners alike. Tripod & Spiral Qigong is unique in providing a variety of training within one set of Qigong movements: ranging from postures, relaxation, stretching, the free flow of Qi, and finally achieving the microcosmic orbit. This is one of the easiest Wild Goose Qigong sets to learn and is often taught before Wild Goose Qigong 1 for beginners.

Practicing this Qigong will have multiple health benefits, which include:

Boosting one's immune system Improving one's cognitve functions Building up one's inner strength Alleviating common aches and pains

Wild Goose 4 is a great first qigong to learn as it is easier than Wild Goose Qigong 1 and 2 for many practioners.

About the Actor
Dr. Bingkun Hu is a medical Qigong master and Qigong therapist. He has been practicing Qigong for over 50 years and is a disciple of Grandmaster Yang, Mei-jun. Dr. Hu combines a background in Traditional Chinese Medicine with a Ph.D. in Western psychology to bring the essence of both the Taoist and Buddhist Qigong to the West. In 2001, he was awarded Outstanding people of the 21st Century in honor of his contribution to medical Qigong. Dr. Hu holds many workshops each year and also has a private practice in Berkeley, California.

About the Director
Jeff Baker and Three Geese Productions have produced 9 Wild Goose Qigong DVDs available for the first time in the western world. Unlike other videos that portray exotic places and locations, Dr. Hu performs where the chi is beneficial and strong (this may or may not be a beautiful location.) The end result is that you are seeing a truly authentic rendering of Wild Goose Qigong practice.

Customer Reviews

Not for absolute beginners
Dr. Hu's Tripod and Spiral DVD as part of the Wild Goose Qigong is a good DVD as long as the practitioner is not a virtual beginner. The video does not explain the relevant details as to why certain motions are used. The DVD seems to assume that the practioneer has some understanding of the basics of qigong (meridians, qi fields, pulling qi from heaven or earth etc.)and the movements that either bring qi into the body or move it around the body.

That being said, the only other problem I had with DVD is the lack of repition of the form. Dr. Hu moves very fast and doesn't explain the details of each motion. The leaves the practioner with one had on the remote control and the other moving around trying to grasp the form as rewind is constantly hit to watch the form progress. It can be frustrating and challenging to those used to well made qigong DVDs where the forms are explained in detail (YMAA, Dragon Door's Five Animal Frolics). Nevertheless, I give the DVD three starts because the form is beautiful and hits some primary meridians of the body. Dr. Hu obviously is an experienced qi practioner and understands the form he is teaching. Too bad he doesn't explain it as well. 3 stars.

For a more detailed understanding of qigong, anything from YMAA is great. Once the basics are understood, Dr. Hu's material is much more informative and fun.

A lovely little Chi Kung set on a well produced DVD well worth your while!
This is the third Wild Goose QiGong DVD that I've purchased featuring Master Hu from "Three Geese", and I continue to be very pleased with the quality of both the material and the presentations of the DVDs themselves. This simple, elegant form is demonstrated and taught in a way that even a beginning student of QiGong (chi kung) can understand and learn well enough to derive considerable benefit from dedicated practice.

I especially appreciate the way the videographer presents the material featuring Master Hu in a variety of settings and from a variety of angles - by the shore of the ocean, in the studio, in a class setting with students, in a local wooded area, etc. This adds a lot to the sheer enjoyment of watching the material and gives the viewer subtle encouragement to practice this form wherever they happen to be.

Someday, somehow, I need to get out to California and attend one of Master Hu's seminars. I am sure that it will be well worth it!
