Qigong (chi kung, pronounced chi gung) is an ancient Chinese practice based on the idea that life energy, known as “chi” or “qi”, flows through our bodies. Through a combination of slow, flowing movements, breathing techniques and mental concentration, the chi in the body is harmonized and strengthened.
Regular practice of chi kung can help to

CHI KUNG with Giulio and Kierty
Chi Kung or 'Qigong' or 'Qi Quan' is an ancient way to improve health. It consists of simple to follow but effective exercises to get the chi (life energy) flowing optimally in the body. All exercises have their own effect, so we will also explain the effects and help to improve postures and movements.
We, Giulio and Kierty, have 10 and 40 years of experience in teaching Tai Chi and Chi Kung respectively.
Giulio Saltelli lived in a Chinese martial arts monastery for over 3 years and Kierty Verbooy was taught by Chinese monks in the Netherlands for over 13 years.
During the days we teach the exercise and the theory behind the exercise. Every day there is at least 3.5 hours of training, during which we also take time to answer questions.
The aim of the training is to relax and strengthen the body and soul.
Kierty Verbooy
Kierty was born in the Netherlands and has been training classical Eastern martial arts since the age of 4. First in Japanese styles (Judo, Karate, Aikido etc.) and then in various Chinese Kung Fu/Wu Shu styles.
(also Chinese monks), he received lessons in massage, acupuncture, breathing techniques and the like in addition to the usual fighting lessons.
