Taiji Shibashi Course

Taiji Shibashi Course Information

This online Qigong Shibashi course has optional captions (English, French & Spanish).

The Taiji Shibashi Qigong is probably one of the most practiced qigong on the planet but 99.9% of people practicing it are not doing Qigong. They are moving their arms and legs about in the manner of slowed down aerobics………….. They are not moving their Qi.

Qigong is about moving Qi. It is the art, the skill, of moving the Qi using willpower. It is not a physical exercise. It is an Internal exercise that uses physical movement as one of its tools. In this Shibashi course you will learn:

• How to move the Qi.
• Where it is supposed to be moving.
• How to “listen” to the Qi, have passive awareness of it.

It is through that passive awareness that you can go on and become more efficient at moving the Qi. That is how the practitioner builds up the skill of Qigong. If you just want to learn how to move your arms and legs about in slow motion this is not the course for you. If you want to learn Qigong. If you want to learn to move the Qi, how to appreciate that movement and how to gain from that movement………….. This is where you want to be. By taking part in this Shibashi course you agree to the terms and conditions.  These can be found in the, preview enabled, Introduction lecture in Section 1 of the course.

• In this course you will learn how to practice the Taiji Shibashi as true Qigong.
• The course covers each exercise in depth, outlining what meridians are involved in each exercise.

Shibashi Course Reviews

• “Des’ explanations are very clear, showing his depth of knowledge and experience in teaching Shibashi Qigong. The pace at which he teaches and the break down of the movements works very well for me. It feels like I am in a face to face class rather than learning solo online. As with previous courses from Des, I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. So much so that I am now learning to teach Taiji Shibashi Qigong with Des.” Pat
• “Dear Des, I have just completed your Shibashi course and, for some reason, Udemy didn’t have a review section at the end so I thought I would send one to you directly. I have posted reviews for your other courses I have bought. Everything about the movements and your instruction seems to elicit a very positive effect upon me physically and mentally. I have noticed an improvement in my health within a week – and I am only practicing sections, as you advised due to my condition. The care and effort you have taken in imparting so much information as well as your friendly manner is an enormous help. I now have all the tools so now it’s down to me to carefully practice, practice, and practice. With each practice I am able to relax more and so come closer to your instruction. Thank you very much for this course and for your others too. Best wishes,” R.

• “Wonderful course, he is one of my favorite instructors. I have learned so much and will continue my qigong journey. Thank you.” C.B.
• “Excellent course. Well laid out, appropriate level of detail, clear instructions. I learned a lot about QiGong in general, as well as ShiBashi in particular.” K.L.
• “Excellent, thorough course with many bonus materials. Des has a relaxed and friendly teaching style, very accessible and great to have such a thorough view on movement, breath and the qi itself.” K.D.
• “Merci pour les explications claires, méthodiques et sur un ton calme et maîtrisé.” K.Z.
• “A good mix of technical information explained in straightforward manner and lets the student know why they are doing it. Rare among many instructors.” P.W.
• “I’ve been learning Qigong from Master Des for almost two years now. His online offer is very generous and is exceptional on all possible levels. Frankly, in my years living in South-East Asia and later, I have never come across such a knowledgeable, generous and honest Qigong master, with such high integrity and attainment of Qigong. Although I have spent a lot of time practising this one – Taiji Shibashi Qigong – according to Master Des’ even more advanced lessons, I still chose to sign up for this Udemy course as well, and I still found it very beneficial in addition to other classes dealing with the same set. Look no further, this is a true master teaching here.” S.K.
• “Have really enjoyed this excellent course. Des teaches in a clear very informative way and his enthusiasm shines through. Will definitely be purchasing more of his courses in the future” P.C.
• “have been doing taichi for 40 years and shibashi for 30 including some teaching this course is easily the best thought out and presented i have seen, well done les” [sic] R.S.
• “This is by far the most beneficial online learning that I have ever done. The volume of content and credentials of the instructor outweigh hundreds of other options on this, and other platforms. It has the potential to cheer you up and change your life, let alone your day! I hope that either the Summary, or the final move (18) can be viewed as a preview here, so that laymen can appreciate what is inside this piece of work. A follow on course by the same teacher, on Acupressure points would be a real boon.” S.H.
• “This is a great course but I would caution it is not for the total beginner. You need to do a bit of reading in Chinese Medical theory and have some knowledge of the most common types of movements used in qigong forms. This course has so much detail about movements and postures that you might find it overwhelming . If you do have some foundation you will find this course to be a true gem!” C.A-M
• “Very good course to enhance my appreciation of QiGong.” J.M.
• “It was exactly what I have been looking for and I have already seen improvements in my physical and mental health” D.G.
