Introduction

Mr. Qin started training Qigong and kung-fu when he was 10 years old. At the age of 16, he entered shun-shang Shaolin temple which has 1500 years of history. After years of training at the temple, he received the honor of 34th generation highest instructor of Shaolin kung-fu. While training a Shaolin temple, he also studied Qigong methods of other schools. At the end, he had mastered over 100 kinds of Qigong practice method and illness curing methods.
Despite his high status at the temple, he left for Japan in 1993 as a guest researcher of ceramics backed up by the Chinese government. He was engaged in research of ceramics in the Tokyo University. As he spent time in Japan as a researcher, he had realized that "although people's life here is materially rich with the developed economy and science technology, in the inside many people are having serious problems both mentally and physically. He felt that it was his mission to transmit the techniques and soul of Shaolin temple, and wished as many people could use the skill to improve quality of their life in Japan. In 1994, he obtained permission of Shaolin temple and established the All Japan Shaolin Temple Qigong Association.
He also established Qigong instructor training course as to meet the increasing demand in Japan to learn more deep and essential Qigong. In this program, with the permission of the dean of Shaolin temple, students can learn the Qigong method of Shaolin temple that was kept secret until then. Students in the program have various purposes and backgrounds. Some students aim to be instructors, and some aim for self-improvements Some students are already Qigon practitioner in Japan, and some has no prior knowledge of Qigong. In this April, the program entered its tenth term, and the new students are studying eagerly.
In the year of 2000, he succeeded in the tooth extraction operation by Qigong anesthesia for the first time in the world. This situation was introduced at the Japanese Dentistry Eastern Medicine Society and the United States Dentistry Aesthetics Society, and obtained high evaluation.
Now, Mr. Qin teaches in many Qigong and martial arts classes, and providing medical treatment services mainly by the headquarters of Tokyo. He is also working energetically in writing books, giving lectures, and giving Qigong instructions on TV.

About the Shaolin Temple Qigong

The Shaolin Temple Qigong has been practiced, together with Kungfu, as a way of training for monks at Songshan Shaolin Temple in China. It is based on the mind of Zen and the spirit of the martial arts. Its extensive effects include promoting health, curing illness, enhancing beauty, losing weight, and developing potential abilities.
The secret essence of the Shaolin Temple Qigong has been handed down only to the selected disciples, and its ultimate goal is to reach a level even higher than people could imagine.
Qin Xiping, the 34th Highest Instructor of the Shaolin Temple, has established a unique method of training based on the Shaolin Temple Qigong, after studying and interchanging with different types of Chinese Qigong. This method enables people from all walks of life to follow the program easily and effectively.

The greeting message from Dr. Qin to everybody.

Why do you want to train in Qigong or martial arts? If your purpose is to become physically and spiritually strong, our "Shaolin qigong" can help you.

If you want to become physically and spiritually strong, and maintain your strength against ageing, physical training is not sufficient. The concept "Qigong " here is essential. In other words, the combination of "martial arts" and "Qigong" can enable us to maintain health and enhance our strength.

Although I have the title of the 34th generation of master instructors of the SongShan Shaolin Temple, I first came to Japan as a Chinese official researcher of ceramics at Tokyo University; it had nothing to do with my title above. As I stayed in Japan, I gradually noticed that many of the Japanese people, though living in such a prosperous country, have many problems physically or spiritually and they are in search of the way to solve them. While studying at the university, I was sometimes asked to teach Qigong and treat illnesses. As I went through such experiences, I came to think that I should introduce the Shaolin training method in order to help Japanese society.

I love Japan. I feel that it is may mission to introduce the spirit and the technique of Shaolin Temple. I was convinced that I was the only person capable of introducing the essence of the Shaolin Temple and bring it to Japan. I decided to stay in Japan in spite of the important duty assigned to me by the Chinese Government.

I established the All Japan Shaolin Temple Qigong Association in 1994 after being granted permission from the Shaolin Temple. At the beginning, I taught just the basics of Qigong; however, as time past, I noticed that people wanted to learn more deeply to understand the essential qualities of Qigong. In response, I made a special "Qigong Instructor Training Course", which enables students to acquire in two and a half years what takes ten years in the Shaolin Temple. This curriculum encompasses all the essential qualities of the Shaolin Temple Qigong and is recognized by the Shaolin Temple. In the curriculum with the permission by the Dean of Shaolin Temple, I teach the Qigong which has previously only been transmitted within the Shaolin Temple.

The concept of "Qi" is related to Cosmic Theory. I studied "Qi" from the view point of Cosmic Physics and Human Body Science and wrote a thesis on it. In the Qigong Instructor Training Course mentioned above, I give lectures on it as a new Qigong theory.

The people who come to this association have various background and purposes; some want to cure illness, some to maintain health, to develop ones potential abilities, to become instructors, etc. When you hear the word "Qigong", you may think it is mainly for senior people. However, the Shaolin Temple Qigong also attracts young people, as it is based on forms of martial arts and appears very "cutting edge".

The Shaolin Temple Qigong has been developed and transmitted by the important masters throughout the 1500 years of the temple's history. Its basic idea is "the mind of Zen, the body of Wu (martial arts)". Its amazing effects on the mind and body have been proven by many people who practice it.
In the association, you can learn these methods, while feeling relaxed and at ease. I hope that you can experience what I can offer through the 30years of training qigong and martial arts, and the 20 years of teaching and healing experiences I have.
I am sure that you will find yourself happier and healthier.
