📖 About This Course
Nearly 2,000 years ago, the legendary Chinese physician Hua Tuo watched five animals in nature — the powerful tiger, the graceful deer, the grounded bear, the agile monkey, and the elegant bird. He noticed they moved constantly and never suffered from the diseases that plagued humans. From this observation, he created Wu Qin Xi (Five Animals Frolics) — a gentle yet powerful movement system that mimics these five animals to heal the body, calm the mind, and cultivate life energy (Qi).
🏥 The Course is based on human body theory of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine):
