Chi (qi) is the Chinese term for life energy.
Kung (gong) means: cultivation, work, training.
Chi kung (qigong) = fitness & energy training.
Bos Chi Kung is a special kind of chi kung, a kind of fitness and energy training, based on ancient principles enriched with modern insights, taught undogmatically.

Thousands of chi kung (qigong) styles exist in the world. Many are connected with ancient traditions belonging to certain families, locations in China, martial arts (kung fu, tai chi, da cheng chuan, etc.), philosophic or religious groups, forms of traditional Chinese medicine, etc. Many of the qigong teachings are clouded with myths, Chinese terminology, secrecy, contracts, traditonal master-diciple relationships, etc. Most are promoted by there teachers and students as being the best. Or strongest, most original, purest...
