Earnest
Traditionally, a
student would commit to 100
consecutive days of practice.
The daily session must include certain exercises and
form.
There are no days off and no
respite.
Duration
Each session must last at least 30 minutes.
10 repetitions per arm
For the highest yield, each qigong exercise
needs to be done 10 times. If you do an exercise with the right hand and then
the left, the overall count will be 20.
When?
Before work is best.
Ideally, the student should get up earlier than normal because the house is
quiet and there are no distractions or pressing concerns.
Content
The 100 days challenge must include the following exercises (along with
some reading):
Moving qigong (8 exercises) and/or ba duan jin (8 exercises) and/or reeling silk exercises & standing post
Standing qigong (10 mins)
Why bother?
Without an established daily home training routine it is very hard to
make progress in this art.
Your body needs time to shed old habits and become
familiar with the new
movements.
The habit of training every day is necessary if you
genuinely want to become an 'internal
martial artist'.
Why 100 days?
100 days was considered to be a realistic target for getting the would-be
tai chi exponent started.
Benefits
Students who complete the 100 days challenge experience a notable change
in their fitness.
They maintain and invigorate the
body at the start of each day.
Their posture is good: upright and strong, their
eyes are clear and
sharp.
Instead of travelling to work feeling tired and
emotionally strung out, the exponent feels great:
creative, alert,
lively and fresh.
What next?
Normally, the student who finishes the 100 days challenge has no intention of
stopping the habit of daily practice.
