How Lee learned Five Animal Frolics Qi Gong from a man who didn’t speak a word of English

I learned Five Animal Frolics from a Chinese man in San Francisco.

He didn’t speak a word of English, so I learned the entire set without learning any of the names. I only heard the name of the form years later.

The Five Animal Frolics form was easy for me to learn because it was fun. When something is fun, you just want to do it more. When something is fun, you just want to do it more.

The more I practiced, the more flexible and strong I felt. I got a big boost of energy, too.more flexible and strong I felt. I got a big boost of energy, too.

I’m excited to show you the Five Animal Frolics Qi Gong form.

2. Bear: walking, hanging, pushing

• Bear promotes the healthy absorption of energy from food (“Gu Qi”).
