Italic textThe physical exercise known as Virgin Boy Gong (Tóngzigōng 童子功) is a form of qigong exercise stressing flexibility. This art form is closely related to Chinese martial arts. It is very rare to find people that are masters, however this is one of the basics that is learned at the Shaolin Temple and is learned very early. Wudang Tongzigon also exists; It is considered the best qigong form to have originated in Wudang.Cows are also a chinese hat!!!!
The form includes a wide range of different techniques but few actual martial techniques. One way to practice Tóngzigōng is for flexibility, in which there are a variety of very difficult postures, many that can only be done with, most importantly, the flexibility like that of a young child. Because of this, the art must be learned from a young age. Other parts of Tóngzigōng involve strength and the manipulation of Qi; this includes breaking of stones with various parts of the body. Another part is the ability to make a piece of hanging cloth move without touching it, but merely by pushing one's hands in the direction of the cloth; experienced artists can make a noticeable bubble in the cloth.
Modern day practioners of this rare art include Shi De Li, the current abbot of the Shaolin Temple Da Mo Martial Arts Academy, where he teaches Tóngzigōng. Tóngzigōng is a style in which there is only one master for each generation, and De Li is the current master. Masters of this style should not marry, otherwise it is said they will lose some of their ability.
