Dr Zhuang's Liangong in 18 Forms

Liangong in 18 Forms (Shibafa)

Authentic Liangong Shi Ba Fa by the creator of Liangong, Dr Zhuang Yuan Ming.

Liangong is a comprehensive set of health exercises based on traditional Chinese medicine, and directed at relieving stress, pain, and encouraging flexibility and muscular toning. It has some similarities with Chi Kung, Pilates, or Yoga. While there are some similarities, Liangong is unique in that within the various postures, a deeper stretch is formed by combining both an isolation of the targeted areas with breathing and a stretching of the torso.

Liangong Consists of 3 sets of 18 exercises.

In China, Japan and Brazil, one of the fastest growing set of health exercises is called "Lian Gong Shi Ba Fa" or "Liangong in 18 exercises" (or forms). Many people have heard of the daily company exercise routines that are quite common in Japan, but not so many people know that the set of exercises that is practiced is likely to be Liangong in 18 Forms. Liangong is a development of traditional stretching, flexibility, massage and strength practices from China. The roots of the practice are from kung fu stretching and strength exercises, traditional Chinese medicine, therapeutic massage ("tuina"), ancient Chinese Chi Kung and a practical exploration of effective exercise based treatments of certain health problems found in Chinese hospitals. The excercise set called Liangong was created by Dr. Zhuang Yuan Ming of Shanghai.

In North America, there has been a great increase in interest in Pilates and Yoga. Despite this interest, a variety of other health practices that are extremely popular elsewhere have not experienced the same growth in the United States. Liangong has had terrific growth in China, Japan, Brazil and elsewhere but it is almost unheard of in North America. It has had some limited exposure in the U.S. and Canada from Chinese martial arts and Chi Kung instructors that became familiar with the benefits of Liangong in China. There has also been a small group that has been working to increase the exposure of Liangong in North America. If you want to learn more about Liangong, create a daily practice set for your company or find an instructor that teaches the Dr. Zhuang's Liangong exercises, contact chiflow@earthlink.net.
