ZhanZhuang QiGong 

Yes, this course is right for you even if you don't know anything about martial arts. The course is designed to teach you the basics of ZhanZhuang, a traditional Chinese martial art that is based on stillness, mindfulness, and breathwork. ZhanZhuang can help you to improve your physical and mental well-being, and it can also help you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

The answer to this question depends on several factors, including your age, previous experience with Qigong, and how often you practice. If you watch one of my online lessons and then practice for 2 hours a day, you will get different results than practicing 2 hours a week.

If you start studying from a base of physical health, it is different from starting to study with physical or concentration problems. ZhanZhuang improves your health and mental power, and you will see the results after the first lessons, but the speed of learning depends on the person.

In general, it is possible to start seeing the benefits of ZhanZhuang after a few days of regular and consistent practice. However, to master the technique completely and get the maximum benefits, it will take several years of practice. 

It is said that "if you persist for 30 days, it is a new passion", "if you persist for 3 months, it is the beginning of a life path", and "if you persist for 3 years, it means that you have already achieved excellent results and have chosen your path", "after 5 years you are becoming a master".

It is important to continue practicing even after completing the online course to continue to improve. What you think you understand today, you will understand differently tomorrow.

It is always best to start from the beginning, even if you have some experience in ZhanZhuang. Our method may be different from the one you have practiced before, and it is important to learn the basics properly.

I have some experience in ZhanZhuang, do I need to start with Level 1?

Yes, there will be 1 offline meeting and 3 online meetings.

So 1 free offline workshop with dates to be determined (an email will be sent with the various dates halfway through the course). This Workshop lasts 3 hours. Master De Santis will check and help the student to understand ZhanZhuang.

For the first ZhanZhuang course, there will also be 1 online live lesson of 2 hours (the dates will be sent halfway through the course). While for the second ZhanZhuang course there will be 3 lessons of 1 hour each.

These lessons are used to evaluate the knowledge and skills acquired by the students. And to correct any errors.

Of course, you can start practicing ZhanZhuang even if you have exceeded 40 years of age. ZhanZhuang is a practice suitable for people of all ages, including the elderly.

Zhanzhuang can be particularly beneficial for people over the age of 40. It can help improve flexibility, strength, and balance, as well as reduce stress and anxiety. It is a Healing Tao system that enhances your qualities and improves your energies.

Usually, female QiGong is not the same as male QiGong. There are some physical, biochemical, and physiological differences between men and women.

For example, a man's energy state changes a lot after every ejaculation, while women have a menstrual cycle that can affect their QiGong practice. QiGong usually acts on the glands, and testosterone and the hormones of women and men are different, so the internal biochemistry manipulated by the energetic exercises of QiGong that transform physical states are generally different.

However, ZhanZhuang has a system that improves your human qualities and increases your energy, and therefore does not manipulate Qi (vital energy) in a "forced" way, but in a natural way helps to balance your energy and your emotional balance. For this reason, unlike other energy systems, ZhanZhuang can be practiced by women and men without any problems.

Yes, it is possible to integrate ZhanZhuang with other practices. ZhanZhuang can be practiced in combination with other forms of Qigong, yoga, meditation, and martial arts. For example, all Chinese Olympic ping-pong players practice ZhanZhuang.

Of course ut before travelling to China, it is advisable to study the online course to master ZhanZhuang and only after having had this kind of experience, think about taking a step like this, that is a short trip to China. Even 2 weeks at the temple in China to study with Master De Santis can be very useful for your spiritual growth research. It is always better to go to China with solid foundations already. Master De Santis organizes several study trips to China.

You will have access to the course contents for 14 months. This is enough time for you to learn the basics of ZhanZhuang and to start to see the benefits of the practice. If you continue to practice, you may also be eligible for discounts on in-person workshops or retreats.

I recommend that you practice ZhanZhuang for at least 20-30 minutes per day. You can also break this up into two 15-minute sessions, but it is important to be consistent with your practice. The more time you put in, the more you will benefit from the practice.

Yes, there will be support during the course. Once you purchase the course, you will be able to join a WhatsApp group where you can ask questions and share your experiences with other students.
