Sweating without running or jumping? A foreigner's immersive experience with China's antique fitness art: Ba Duan Jin

A foreigner came to try Ba Duan Jin following a teacher and, unsurprisingly, felt the power of this ancient Chinese fitness practice. Despite its gentle-looking eight movements, this 10-minute practice left them sweating all over.

Ba Duan Jin not only assumes a fitness method but also incorporates part theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine, specifically Zang-Fu organs, meridians and collaterals, Yin-Yang, and the Five Elements.

It helps regulate the flows of Qi and blood in the body and promotes the smooth functioning of organs and meridians. So what are you waiting for? Call your friends and start practicing together!
