Both of these styles build up the body's ability to withstand
an external attack. Iron Shirt Qigong makes your body so string it
is like you are wearing a shirt made of iron. Golden Bell Cover Qigong makes
your body as if it is covered by a golden bell (again, a sign of protection
and strength). A Chinese proverb states that you must first learn how to
take a blow before learning how to strike back. |
