Exercises. Founded by Bodhidharma, a 5th century Indian Buddhist monk, Qi Gong/Tong-Gong is considered the root of martial arts. Qi Gong/Tong-Gong has been employed and developed as a method for alleviating illness and strengthening the body. Its main therapeutic properties lie in its regulation of the activity of the cerebral cortex, the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system. Furthermore, the therapeutic effects also help correct abnormal reactions of the organism and have a massaging effect on the organs of the body. The exercises put pressure on a combination of specific acupuncture points which elicit desired physiological responses. The harmonization of Nae-Gong (internal) and Wae-Gong (external) exercises leads to a balance of mind, body and spirit.
