Qigong.com Review — Martial Arts Comparison (2012)

The website qigong.com is dedicated to providing information on martial arts for practitioners along with food-based healing and breathing/meditation books, videos and information from Jeff Primack. The website also lists up-and-coming events, along with a list of certified instructors in the United States. Featured products include: a Special Animated Qigong Healing DVD, the book Conquering Any Disease and a Breath Empowerment CD. Qigong is the Mandarin Chinese word used to describe several forms of physical and mental health techniques including enlightenment. Qigong can be used as a preventative medicine and is believed to be a vital component for any serious martial art training.

• Easy to navigate website with easy to purchase options that include complete sets of Jeff’s DVD series
• Good nutrition information and very informative free video streams on what foods to eat for health
• Jeff Primack is a particularly popular in terms of his approach to food, healing and qigong as a holistic form of healthy living

The Qigong Institute’s website has more in-depth information on the subject and also lists qualified instructors in the US. This website has a more comprehensive list of books and DVDs for sale. Jeff Primak, however, does appear to be very charismatic and his DVDs do get very good reviews from users than more general qigong DVDs. Ken Cohen’s qigonghealing.com also has lots of excellent background information on the subject along with books and DVDs.  He also offers lectures, workshops and teacher training courses. However, none of the other websites offer an in-depth look at nutrition and food as part of the qigong lifestyle in the way Jeff Primack does via his streaming videos and books on his qigong.com site.

The website is informative up to a point. However, it does lack a lot of background information on the subject and may be confusing for anyone who has not heard of qigong before. Having said that, anyone interested in DVDs and CDs for relaxation and meditation techniques will find a good selection here along with a special ‘how to activate your kundalini’ DVD. It is worth bearing in mind this DVD may not be suitable for beginners.  

Jeff’s Primack’s Animated Qigong Healing L-1 DVD is popular with Amazon customers: Stephen Mcconnel said: “This DVD is probably the best I have seen. The routine is very encompassing. It subtly builds Qi step by step throughout the routine. Each exercise builds upon the one before... not in complexity, but in amplification of Qi.” Sharille Kiwi found the DVD: “easy to follow video for learning Qigong Level 1 form. It also provides excellent special effects to demonstrate how the Qi is surrounding us during the Qigong sessions. It is contains clear and precise instructions so that you get the total benefit from this Level 1 form of Supreme Science Qigong I STRONGLY recommend this DVD for anyone that wants to expand their Qigong practice whether they are a beginner or an advanced learner.” All Jeffs DVDs and books are also available from www.amazon.com.
