Yes. Structurally it is taoist, technically it is buddhist because it came out of the shaolin temple.

It was very very clearly part of taoist qigong which got incorporated into the shaolin temple.

I read that Dragon & Tiger Chi Gung is not a Taoist form of Chi Gung. Any truth to this? Regardless, Im looking forward to recieving the Instruction manual and finally begininng to build a solid foundation in one particular Chi Gung style.

I learned Dragon and Tiger from your book, and after a couple of weeks I could clearly feel qi moving through my body when doing those forms. After more weeks of practice, I had a very tangible feeling of qi movement, which really increased the quality of my other practices!

I have no idea what Guo Lin Family Qigong is. My website will tell you what Dragon and Tiger is about. If Guo Lin was a more traditional form of Qigong I would have most likely heard about it. Many forms of qigong have been created in the past 20 years. People cobble them together, the way people combine 3 karate styles together and call it a new style with a new name. I am not familiar with this particular form of Qigong so I cannot comment on it.

I look forward to the DVD. Learned this from you back in 1987 or so. Remember some of the exercises a little differently from their description in the manual so I am looking forward to the actual video for a comparison

Hi Bruce,

What is the difference between Dragon & Tiger Qigong and the Guo Lin Family Qigong? I learned the Guo Lin forms from my father-in-law, Dr. Zhou Peigen.

I learned Dragon and Tiger from Chris Chappell of Realtaoism, London back in 1997. These exercises are amazing and when contacting a virus 6 months ago I used these exercises as an aid to removal and recovery. I know the teaching was not direct from you Bruce but Chris has I know studied with you for some time. Thank you for passing on this information to the Western World
