On the occasion of all that is happening in the demanding period that has passed, the Greek Shaolin Cultural Organization continues to inspire all those who wish to know its rich heritage, by faithfully observing its purposes, which are none other than the preservation and spread of Shaolin arts.

On Monday 20/7/2020 a special seminar was held on the art of Qi Gong [Chin :. Qìgōng 气功] in sitting position. This action was implemented by the "True path" association, that cooperates with EPOS in Thessaloniki, under the supervision of the head of teaching, Mr. Vassilopoulos Ioannis and was addressed exclusively to the students of the soft arts of the association. The seminar is a special opportunity to experience the immediate results of an ancient art in the unchanged way that it was transmitted by the founder of EPOS, Master Stavridis Iordanis.

The seminar was preceded by a brief historical review of the art of Shaolin Qi Gong, explaining its effect on the vitality and well-being of each practitioner, as well as a variety of scientifically substantiated studies that testify its effect on a variety of chronic and non-chronic diseases.

Then followed a brief description of the basic principles of traditional Chinese medicine and how any practitioner can perceive in time and perhaps prevent, from physical symptoms and signs, health problems from which he may be threatened.

In a very peaceful atmosphere, all the attendees started the seminar program with deep full breaths, following a series of special routines of seemingly simple movements, which, however, have a lot to offer to the trainee who follows them.

The time of two and a half hours seemed like a moment, with smiles of pleasure and wonder painted on everyone's faces.

At the end, they all shared their experiences, followed by a discussion on the good practice of this set and ways in which one can optimize the benefits. Both for himself and for his environment.

For the Greek Shaolin Cultural Organization, whose purpose is to spread Chinese culture and Shaolin arts, it is important that every student has the opportunity and access to countless treasures, thus having the opportunity for a better quality life. How Kung Fu is not only limited to martial arts but also to many more, that everyone without exception has the opportunity to know. Said Mr. Vassilopoulos after the end of the training.
