Qi Gong Classes
FREE Class
My Daily Routine
After teaching Qi Gong for a little more than 25 years I have found the forms and movements that work for most everyone. They are easy to learn, but still very potent. Most people can feel the effects immediately, or at least after just a short time. The class is self paced. That makes it a good fit for beginners, as well as experienced practitioners.
I do these forms almost every day. I have done some of them for over 20 years, and I have no plans to stop. They continue to serve me very well.
Below is a short video with more details... (Video coming soon!)
FREE Class - 9 Constitutional Body Types - Which one are you?
This information is empowering. It takes away the mysteries of why your body does the things it does... why we look and feel the way we do. Once you have have identified your body type(s), you can much more successfully design and implement everything from dietary changes to exercise routines. Plus you'll be better equipped to avoid problems like allergies, colds and flu, arthritis, diabetes, heart problems etc.
I talk a little more about the class in this short video... (Video coming soon!)
I do both of these classes once a month. When all the details are set (dates, times, locations) I send that info out to everyone on my mailing list.

Temple Style Golden Shield Qi Gong
Temple Style training is for those who choose to take their health and Qi to a level that leaves the status quo behind, and reaches far beyond Normal Human Limits.
Through this practice your whole system gets enlivened and rebuilt. Your body starts to produce more energy. This happens at a cellular level. The process is what many people have referred to as Taoist Alchemy.
The term 'Golden Shield' is more than idea or a catch phrase. It is an actual shield that you build in and around your entire body.
Throughout China you find people practicing Tai Chi and Qi Gong in the parks. You also find both Tai Chi and Qi Gong being practiced in the Temples. The practices taught in the temples contains information that is too complex to be taught in the parks. It requires a different level of commitment.
Jingui Golden Shield is a Temple Style Qi Gong. The level of commitment required to do Golden Shield is not as stringent as that required in the Temples of China. However, this is not a practice that you will find being taught to the public in the parks. The depth and value of the information taught in Temple Style Golden Shield is at a very high level. The effects of the training can be enormously profound for individuals who are serious, and have the ability to make an ongoing commitment.

Hi my name is Tim Chrisco. In 1996 I became a student of Golden Shield Qi Gong and began my personal practice. In 1998 I received my Golden Shield Instructor certification and began teaching this system to others.
I have been very fortunate to have Dr. Dongxun Zhang as my primary instructor since I began practicing in 1996. Dr Zhang is the Master lives here in Austin, and is the lineage holder of this system.
I can easily say that this practice has been, and still is, the most amazing thing that I have ever done in my entire life. It is so rich and so complete. Words can't explain it. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to learn and share this incredible practice.
Read what our students have to say...
The home base of Jingui Golden Shield Qi Gong is Austin Texas.
The master of our system is Dr Zhang D. AOM, L.AC.
Dr Zhang lives and works here in Austin.
