Welcome. Yes, it’s pretty intense. I’ve been doing it for about a year. I recommend that you read through everything to get a sense of the scope and depth of the program. Then start going slowly through the material step by step, at the pace Bruce recommends. It wil
Take at least a month per module to do the beginner level stuff if you’re new to bruce’s system. I advise you to take it nice and slow, practice every day, and work through things systematically. Then, periodically review things. I’ve found that learning this system is a spiraling process and I regularly go back and review. Then, if possible, find a teacher Bruce has trained. That really helps. It took me a while to really get a handle on the whole thing, and I feel like I will spend years on this. It’s really fun, deep, and worth it.

Best wishes, Matthew

If you are completely new to Bruce’s system, I’d suggest you watch this video that Dan Kleinman put together:

Pay particular attention to his explanation of “circular” learning. He did a great job of explaining how to approach the Energy Gates material and I think it is applicable to anyone trying to learn any component of this system.

Kudos to Dan. This is not only a great summary of Energy Gates, but his explanation has much greater depth than you may realize.

Hey, can I get my money back?

I just got to page 88 (very auspicious page number, eh?) of Bruce’s book, Bagua and Tai Chi,”
where it says,
“seventy years is about as old as as you could begin…”

I’m over 71.

Well, at least, how about a 70% discount?

Oh, forget it.
A couple of years ago, I tried bagua fan with some Chinese guy who would only say, “Kou bu–Bai bu.”
I read a couple of dumb books, too.
No go.

But Bruce’s methodology on “Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong” was so good I thought I’d give it another go.

Heck, just the reading material so far has given me a lot to practice–
twisting soft tissues,
Inhale-step–exhale–inhale-exhale–inhale next step–
exhale–inhale-exhale

More joking:
while Bruce was farting around in Tokyo, Taiwan and New York,
I was fighting tigers in SouthEast Asia.

Thanks for taking my money Bruce.

It would be nice to have a one or 2 page low chart of where to begin and at what point do you use the DVD, CD and Extra books with the course bunders. So far I have read that Bruce thinks one can learn from this material however there has been outside references to at least 4 other courses. Bruce you should work for IBM. I only thought that they could complicate something simple into chaos. You are a go

I know how you feel.
With the notebooks and video DVDs I couldn’t figure out what I was trying to learn: steer a blimp? a Piper Cub? a jet fighter? a Boeing 737? a space shuttle?

So, during a 900-mile, 3-day road trip to southern Idaho I listened to all of the 17 Audio CDs in the Program.
Now I get the picture (don’t ask me what it looks like.)

But while climbing North America’s highest sand dune (Bruneau Dunes State Park near Mountain Home, Idaho) I learned how to push off my back heel.

While driving 13 straight hours on freeways on cruise control, I learned what the energy of the earth feels like under my feet–like road vibration.

By observing the full-moon rise in to clear desert night sky I learned how Qi condenses to a single, yet spacious point in the central channel.

And much, much more.

Bruce, you are the real deal. Thanks!

Bob
back in northern Idaho
