Flying Dragon Qigong II - Clearing the Dragon’s Path is the second stage of Flying Dragon Qigong taught at Orchard Kung Fu. It is a six week course  for those  who have an experiential understanding of Flying Dragon Qigong - Discovering the Three Treasures and who wish to deepen their practice. The class will incorporate a significant amount of circle walking. We will practice Discovering the Three Treasures every class and then add new information. The course is open to those 16 years of age and up.
