RATINGS & REVIEWS
Hi Kieren, You ask me how I'm enjoying the 7-12 set course sofar. I have not yet started with the new stuff but a quick review of the testing and application modes of the 1-6 set tells me that points straight to where I want to go and explore, that is to real internal work. It seems to increasingly open up continuing levels of depth into the way you move yourself (and thereby the other).
I completed the first six sets of the YSG repertoire and found that I felt stronger, and my Taiji has become better as a result. This course of YSG sets 7 - 12 are producing similar effects; regular practice produce continuous incremental improvements in stability, rootedness and centredness.
I absolutely love this course. I absolutely enjoyed the testing part that refers to the sets 1-6. These exercises deepenend my understanding of the strings and what should be going on internally. And I absolutely enjoy practising set 7-12. Master Boh Heong and Jimmy show the movements in detail and describe precisely how they should be performed. I hope that all other sets will be shown here, too.
Very clear explanations and lots of important details that can be easily overlooked. The YSG courses have knocked it out of the park in my opinion. Great work!
I want to thank Master YAP for the presentation and the explanations making it easy to understand the YSG. The second booklet allows you to finish understanding the first series of lessons and the following lessons from 7 to 12 illuminate all the benefits that this practice brings. For my part, I can certify that the YSG was immediately usable in my martial practice.
After finishing the first course 1-6 I really noticed how my body AND my inner changed. After only 6 months I feel complitely renewed. This course means a lot because here in Ukraine living in constant stress YSG is a pearl to practice. It straightens the body in a way that you refresh quickly and the art really (I mean it) balances the mind and you can keep going through life clearly!
I completed YSG forms 1-6 and started 7-12 recently. I thoroughly enjoyed this course which is well conceived and taught online. The explanations and demos and detailed answers posted by Master Yap (who is so unassuming ) and his team facilitated my learning. Thank you Master Yap, Jason, Jimmy and Kieran!
I can only recommend Master Yap's second Yan Shou Gong course as highly as the first. The clear and precise instructions make it easy to follow the movements and even those who are already familiar with Yan Shou Gong will find new details and suggestions. The pressure tests for the sets of the first course are helpful for everyone to assess their own progress.
I have finished the first 6 sets and found Master Yap Boh Heong and the sets were exactly what I was hoping they would be. He created a great sequence of videos slowly introducing more details. This has allowed me to focus on slowly incorporating the details in each of the moves. I notice the more times I do it the more I understand. I have found the general YouTube videos revealing.
Great instructions by Master Yap. Just finished the first form. This has made me aware of my subtle bodily energies by focusing and learning these foundational movements. I am enjoying the course immensely and hope to master all the movements as delineated in the instructional videos. Very happy with the course so far! 🙏
Every now and then, after a few months, I would advice to check every forms / movement with the video again, step by step from the beginning. -> Back to basics helps 🙂
I am still at the beginning of this journey but already the importance of correct alignment is very clear. Explanations are detailed and the objectives of the different movements clearly stated. I have just finished instruction on set 1 and will spend a few weeks perfecting the execution before continuing on to set 2.
The movements are very easy to follow and Master Yap's explanations are very detailed but easy to understand. I have been practising Yan Shou Gong since April 2020 and have already found details here in Set 1 that I was not aware of. In my opinion, the explanations in this course already go beyond a pure beginner's level, even though it is of course only the beginning of this journey.
This online course it the next best thing to a live workshop with Master Yap Boh Heong. The videos show the movements in high detail and with clear instructions. And you can watch each detail over and over again. Yan Shou Gong is an amazing art that not only teaches you a lot about inner work but also has many health benefits. Just commit to practicing a couple of minutes a day. It'll pay off!
Hi Kieren, I just finished the 1st form (EVERYTHING COMES FROM EMPTINESS) and I'm truly enjoying it. The lessons are very detailed, understandable, and very well done. I'm loving it and thanks for having the program on your website. Very Best, Philip Conley
I have completed, the initial sequence and memory of Set 1. I have a Martial Arts background and enjoy a learning environment that facilitiates full understanding and depth to the practice. The format of the course allows for this approach.
We are blessed to have Master Yap conducting the online class with clarity. Jimmy's demo was very helpful. I also learnt much from the Q&A in the discussion section. Master Yap and his team very patiently responded to the students questions for which I am extremely grateful. Thank you Master Yap and the whole team!
The Yan Shou Gong Neigong set is an absolute treasure, and I am so thankful for Master Yap for not only offering this very rare closed/inner door teaching, but to be so generous with his knowledge and experience. Master Yap is very clear and easy to follow in his explanations of how and what to do in order to gain results as quickly and efficiently as possible. Thank you Master Yap!
The way Master Yap breaks things down makes it easy and fun to learn. He’s an excellent teacher! I have to admit, I wasn’t ready for Yan Shou Gong to bring such amazing results so quickly. It’s almost mind blowing. So happy I gave this course a try, and I can’t wait for more.
From the very beginning of you introducing Master Yap and his arts, I thought about how it might be possible to learn from him but didn't find any realistic opportunity. Your work, the presentation of this online-course, made it possible now and this is really a great gift and a pleasure. The videos are very good and Master Yap is really interested and supportive to make the best out of it. Thanks
I am only 10-15 videos in, and I am telling you, if you treat this as a higher educational degree, focus and take notes, practice daily in small intervals, and then repeat the process until you believe you have achieved a point of progress. Then your entire life changes accordingly. Thank you Master Yap Boh. Thank you, Martial Man, for supplying the content on an easy and friendly platform.
I liked everything about the course. The explanations were easy to follow. Yan Shou Gong and my Reiki complement each other as I practice there seems increasing awareness in my body . Thank you and I look forward to continuing with this course increasing my knowledge
Master Yap is very generous to give so much detail and knowledge in a short course that I now practice every day and it takes <5 minutes. I especially appreciate how He systematically approaches internal arts without discussing so much the spiritual aspects but the grounding, rooting, and centering as a common theme and roadmap. Can’t wait for the next 6.
This is the kind of training that might be overlooked I think. It looks so simple but I believe it has true depth, maybe especially for those that have at least soms experience with the internal work. I'm very grateful for the oppurtunity to learn this. Thank you.
The forms are not the easiest, but the instructions are detailed and precise. It requires time and effort till the forms become engrained in muscle memory and you start to feel the benefits. A big thank you to Master Yap.
I appreciate that Yap Sifu goes in so much detail to break down each step. The coordinating of the outside, inside, sensation and breathing will take some time. I am dedicated to making this a daily routine and build slowly. As a child, I learned Sil Lum Bok Pai and Yang Gah Tai Gik - at 60 now I embark on a new journey - so exciting. Daw Jeah Sifu!
Excellent quality, detail and very illuminating even about the inner workings of other arts. Yap Boh Heong's explanations are very clear and logical, explaining not just how to do things and what pitfalls to avoid, but also why you do it, and building upon each lesson in a systematic way that gives me understanding of the entire process and the changes to look for in my body as it transforms.
Instructions are precise, focused on the important details. I can feel already the soothness. It has almost immediate effect. I'm on my third day of practice. Feels therapeutic. I'm waiting to see what comes next as I learn the rest of the forms. As a psychologist I wonder if and how this practice could complement my therapy sessions. We will see. So far so good. Thank you!
Ever since I saw Master Yap Boh Heong on this site I'm so much impressed with his internal skills. This YSG course is simple and easy to follow yet the effects, I could already feel my structure improved just on the first form. Also felt the rooting improved so much. I can't wait to discover more and further improve and to finally achieve song. Thank you.
I'm very surprised at how easy yet not easy this practices are, at how fast they generate the sensation of energy, how by looking at the sets we can think it's just another qigong practice but by practicing them they feel much more powerful. Everything is explained clearly. It's a gift that we have this opportunity to start our journey of Yan Shou Gong.
This course answers questions in a very accessible way. I feel like it's a good chance to be able to structure my practice of external martial arts in a coherent way with an input allowing to easily introduce more internal. Very quickly answers were brought to me by the first courses. I thank Master Yap for his explanations.
Aldo i started couple a days ago, i already can can tell this is gonna be very usefull and enjoyable journey for my martial arts and life in general. I like the way it clarifies internal mechanics and it feels so good from the begining!
This online course have clear instruction on how to perform the moves and explain why we do it. Practicing the form on a daily basis will quickly allow one to feel the results. It is also structured in a systematic manner to allow everyone to follow at their own pace. Good content.
I have been doing these exercises for 2 months now. It feels like my left side of head, left neck, left shoulder, right hip and right low back are not working properly. While doing Yan Shou Gong, I feel increased tension/pain in these areas. It has been decreasing over continued exercise. I feel if I continue, it will eventually restructure my joints and muscles to work properly. Thank you.
I am a 67 year old retiree who has been involved with yoga (Raja , Jana) and Zen for 52 years. About 5 years ago I started to study Qigong, inspired by the books of Dr. Yang. Currently I am trying to get an overview of the techniques Yap Boh Heong uses. As far as I can see so far, they are explained well and competently. In two years we will see what it has brought.
I was fortunate enough to recently attend a Yan Shou Gong seminar in N. Ireland and found the material in this course to be invaluable. The price may seem high, but what I've found is that taking the course means that you will get a great deal more out of any instruction you take in person. It will be necessary to attend a workshop at some point, but this course is a great starting point in YSG.
I’m very impressed with Yan Shou Gong and Master Yap. The course format works well for me. It is easy to keep going back and practicing sections you need to work on while continuing to move forward. I hope to eventually get some hands-on experience but this is a great start.
Opposed to the "no method" approach, this course provides a thorough step by step process to develop the needed skills and feel the paths in the body. Master Yap is kind, knowledgeable from decades of experience and probably what I appreciate the most: he is very scientific and down to earth.
I've been practicing the first few exercises for a couple months now. I find it very relaxing. It has also been very relatable to my other martial arts practice specifically Uechi Ryu. I find the principles are complementary to the San Chin structure. I plan on taking the next series.
It will be safe to say that if you are diligent with your practice, you will discover things that were not there before. Your journey toward internal martial arts starts with the awareness of the body.
This course is superbly detailed in its presentation for you to discover the essence of true energy- that YOU produce.
Sifu Yap is very astute at explaining the forms, strings etc. I haven’t got the whole section down yet, but I am working on it. Hope to see progress on my internals in time. I hope this will help in my relaxation in my current Wing Chun practice as well.
No non sense, but the steps reveal so much so progress is slow. Hope they are patient me and that it still will be online until I'm through:-) Find that i automatically wants to rest in standing meditation for at least 20 minutts when I'm done.
I am feeling very blessed to have discovered this course. After many years as an external practitioner now adapting to the internal ways, this is exactly the kind of cultivation of the principles and exercises that I feel are helping open up the correct pathway. Master Yap has the gift of passing on the teachings in an understandable and practical sense.
Having personally watched and edited every single video lesson, I can confirm that the information Master Yap is sharing in this course is a real treasure and will undoubtedly improve the internal skill and knowledge of every person that enrolls. Not only are the Nei Gong sets taught in explicit detail, but Master Yap has also provided detailed instruction on how to apply all of the movements.
After only five days since I began studying Set 1, I'm finding it both challenging and rewarding. At 68, I'm no longer a quick study; even so, thanks to Master Heong's very clear explanations and the presentation of concepts in small "digestible" bites, I believe I will make good progress. This type of martial art knowledge isn't so readily available in the West, so thank you Master Heong!
Gratitude to Master Yap and his team, who are generously providing access to an area of human endeavour that has been shrouded in secrecy, ignorance, or charlatanism. Enormous effort has been made to provide careful, clear, detailed and precise instruction. It is a labour of love undertaken in an attempt to preserve precious knowledge that is in danger of disappearing.
As someone returning to YSG after many years I'm finding this course not only a fantastic refresher but it also introduces a lot of detail I don't remember learning from before. That coupled with Master Yap's clear explanations make this course a great find.
I first learnt from Mr.Yap back in 2019 in the"mini" course he conducted before Covid 19 lockdown forced us to stop those lessons. However this online course on YanShouGong is so well made that I feel it is as clear if not more clearer.Thank you and hope to enroll more WuZu courses in the future.
Two months in and I can already feel the difference. My structure of Taijichuan is improving and you feel the (internal/external) power connecting. It's all about connecting the dots, especially for martial arts practitioner. Thank you for sharing the treasure!
I couldn't believe how quick it worked and connected me. I felt it straight away. I've been recovering from a back injury for the last 3 years and this has helped immensely. I can only imagine how far this will take me moving forward. Thank you so much.
Sifu took the time to explain the details required to achieve results. Questions are answered in a timely and helpful fashion. Results are stated clearly and achievable. Too early to tell what the long-term effects going to be, but looking forward to his courses in the future to further refine my skills.
Its awesome
