My Sifu incorporated some of these tendon stretching exercises into our Qigong class and they were very effective. So, I bought a book about the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing by Yang Jwing-ming. It ended up being about a long massage process to raise the fascia while abstaining from sex... I am very curious to learn more about this process, but I haven't been able to find anything else on it. Does anyone know what i'm talking about, or where I could learn more?

Now let me introduce you to another set of internal exercise called Yi Jin Jing. Yi Jin Jing if you translate it word by word, if you translate it from Chinese into English, Yi means to change, Jin means the muscles and the tendons and Jing as the method. So if you incorporate all three word it means book of change or the classic exercise that changes your muscles and tendons. Okay. So basically it gets rid of all those bad substance from your body, helps you execute all those bad stuff from your body outside. Okay. In the past, it is believe that if somebody learns Yi Jin Jing and the Xi Shui Jing, if you learn the Yi Jin Jing, you could be the best in the Martial Arts. But to practice, we Shaolin Monks know that, that's not true. But many people in the past, they believe that if you know this classes you could become the best Martial Artist and nobody could defeat you. So what they do after knowing that? They try to steal the books in from Shaolin to try to learn it by themselves. And of course many of them attempt, failed. And some of them was killed doing that, while trying to steal the book. Okay. So now I'm going to show you the Yi Jin Jing. Preparation. Standing shoulder width. And when practicing, you want your back to be the north and you want your face to face south, cause Chinese believe that the back is the mountain, so you're back are always be towards the mountain and your head, the south is the ocean so you should always be looking at the ocean when you incorporate, when you're inhaling good energy from, okay. So now I'm going to show you Yi Jin Jing. There are twelve steps to it, I'm going to show you first three. First one is Preparation. Standing shoulder width. Okay. You want to inhale and exhale for a total of eight times. The next one Wei Tuo Shin Xiu Presenting the Pestles. Drawing both hands up, inhale, and of course when you're doing this you want to do the natural breathing, three for nine times. Inhale and exhale consist of once. So you want to do this three for nine times by holding this position. Now I'm going to introduce you to the next move its called Hua Xian Tou Ang Pang Xiang Mo Tou, Stretching the Arms out for as a Family. You want to go like this, inhale, exhale for a total of nine times. Okay. And this concludes the first three segment of the Yi Jin Jing.
