Glad he digs the gTummo : )

It's a special practice. My version is rooted in methods from Nyingma, Bonpo, Taoism, Sufi & Indonesian Tenaga Dalam.

Thanks : )

Chi Kung & IMA master Jeff Smoley saw my Silat @ Hoshinfest and said it was like closed door Chen Taichi & Bagua : )


I strongly recommend Jeff Smoley. He is a good man and a good example of what CHI KUNG is all about.

He was a close friend of Dr. Glenn J Morris's.
