These Zen Warrior exercises are based on an ancient regime created by the founder of Zen Buddhism, who taught these simple techniques of movement and meditation to Shaolin monks so that they could be free of illness, halt the ageing process and even reverse it. The exercises remove blockages in the body's energy system and are famed for producing extraordinary results. Practise these easy to follow routines on a daily basis and you too can enjoy the health benefits within four weeks, including a younger, stronger body, a more tranquil spirit and a feeling of inner peace.

What are the Zen Warrior Exercises? 
The Zen Warrior exercises are a system of controlling the healing spiritual force, or as the Chinese call it Qi energy, in the body. It includes meditation, breathing exercises and physical exercises involving the tensing of the muscles. They are easy gentle exercises but they also involve great focus and visualization. You need to use your will to direct not only the exertion of muscular strength but also the condensing of Qi energy. This is coordinated through breathing. Breathing naturally directs the Qi and is used with the imagination and will to charge the muscles with healing force. This force then naturally flows gently in the energy system and regenerates and renews the internal organs in body to bring strength and youth to the whole being. 

The Chinese name for the Zen Warrior exercises is Yi Jin Jing. This is normally translated as Muscle/Tendon Change Exercise or Sinew Transformation. As the name implies the exercises work through our muscles and bring great physical strength as well as good health. 

The Zen Warrior exercises are one of the oldest Chinese Martial Arts practices. These exercises arrived in the West after more than 1500 years of travelling between Temples, Masters and Legends, some true, some fictional. 

The exercises are said to be able to make one younger, heal illness and even lead to immortality. Some martial artists in China claim that this exercise can make one 15 years younger and newspapers have reported the case of a 108-year-old woman who, after just a year of practice, claimed her hair became black again after years of greyness. 

Because of the legends, for centuries people have been in search of the real Zen Warrior exercises. Hundreds or even thousands of sets of exercises exist in China claiming to be the real thing. Almost all forms are just physical exercises without the internal secrets needed to make them effective. 

I, too, spent many years in search of the genuine exercises and was continually disappointed by how many people are practising this form without the slightest understanding that the whole art is about controlling and condensing spiritual energy (called Qi in China). I even visited a Shaolin temple to learn the form they were teaching to Western students. The exercises were interesting and would be good for flexibility but nothing more. 

After many years of searching I found a Philippino master who taught me the exercises presented here. I firmly believe them to be a genuine art.
