Although having similar names, the Embroidered Brocade and the Eight Pieces of Brocade (AKA the Ba Duan Jin) are two entirely different sets. The Embroidered Brocade is a set of seven Qigong exercises, namely: Folding Over, the Circle of Light, the Billowing Sail, the Sun and the Moon, the White Crane, the Snake, and the Taiji Walk.

The numerous benefits of these exercises include:

• Stimulating Qi flow in the Yin and Yang meridians of the legs.

I learned the Embroidered Brocade Qigong way back in the mid 1980s when I switched from the External Martial Arts to the Internal. This set of Qigong was a huge asset at the time as it helped me to understand and correct my posture while also gaining more access to my Qi. Thirty seven years later and I am still practicing it………………….. It is as big an asset to me now as it was then. This set of Qigong has huge depth and I continue to learn from it and gain further understanding through its practice. Des Lawton
