In China, the Hua Shan Pai style of Chi Gong is recognized as one of
the best for promoting life rejuvenation and longevity. The Chi Gong
of Hua Shan (the name of the mountain where a temple was built and
it's original practitioner resided) was taught only to selected Taoist
disciples and kept closely guarded. This art has survived the
centuries but with few current practitioners.
Si Gung Chin is one of those very rare practitioners with a direct
lineage to this ancient treasure.

queequg-ga, it sounds a lot like Taoist Tai Chi, but I won't bet the
farm on it as I am not familiar with these disciplines. I will add
some sites for the Taoist Tai Chi in case it is useful to you.
Taoist Tai Chi is a form of Tai Chi specifically aimed at cultivating
health and vitality, developed by Master Moy Lin-Shin, a Taoist monk
trained in the teachings of the Earlier Heaven Wu-chi sect of the Hua
Shan school of Taoism He synthesized the wisdom he learned in more
than 50 years of training in meditation, chi-kung, martial arts, and
other Taoist arts into the practices taught by the Society and its
sister organizations. Master Moy passed away after a brief illness on
the morning of June 6th 1998. His obituary and photograph are
available on the International Taoist Tai Chi Society
<http://www.taoist.org/AboutUs/master_moy.htm> website.

"The QI Gong is a thousand-year-old practice which belongs to Chinese
traditional medicine. For a few years, part of the Chinese population
(70 million) has rediscovered little by little the combined virtues of
the Buddhist precepts, taoists and Confucianists who formed eternal
China.
The QI Gong is as old as China. This thousand-year-old gymnastics
crossed time and the revolutions, flowering in hundreds of schools, to
provide to the Chinese people the expensive moin and healthiest of the
preventive medicines. Let us recall that at the present time, the life
expectancy in China is identical to that of France, in spite of costs
of health forty times inferiors in spite of living conditions
infinitely harder. The practice of the QI Gong as "national sport" is
undoubtedly not foreign there: it is only to observe all these alert
old men, practitioner be like winters their exercises in the parks in
the early morning, for this convincing of the decisive contribution of
this discipline in health and longevity. "
