    1. Hi David,

      I’m afraid not. Before the lock-downs, I conducted a mini-course in Singapore. Unfortunately, the CoViD put a stop to that, and I think the group doesn’t meet regularly anymore.

      However, I would recommend a friend, Sifu Dennis Wang teaches another type of Qigong called Han Yang QiGong regularly at the Botanics Harden on most mornings. If you ask around there, you can find him.

  1. Sifu Boh Heong Yap, thank your for the introduction on the history of 延壽功. Would you be able to let me know the Chinese characters for the original arts from which this was synthesised?

  2. At this stage I am familiarizing myself with the first form and am excited to learn howto connect the tendons in my upper and lower body and learning howto undo the blockages. I am fascinated with learning about the internal energy of martial arts.

  3. Hello Sifu Yap, I live in Vienna, Austria. Can you please inform me if there is a qualified teacher in my country that I can learn Neigong from? Your response would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for any information. Kind regards Otto

  4. Greetings, Master Yap! I was lucky enough to attend the Yan Shou Gong workshop at the Shaolin Temple Europe that you taught a few weeks ago. I am so excited to continue the journey I began there.

    1. Hi Brian, I’m happy for you. I hope that seminar gave you a deeper insight into YSG. As you realize, learning the forms is only the beginning. To go further, one must be mindful and aware of the Strings and eventually learn to control them. To do so requires the ‘Testing’ and ‘touching of hands with a fellow practitioner and a qualified instructor.
      We will be conducting more such intermediate seminars and workshops.

      This is part of the learning process called the Roadmap to Internals.

      Thank you.

  5. Dear Yap Master!

    I would like to ask a few questions.

    When did the Masters of this lineage move from China to Malaysia?

    What these words mean, Yan Shou Gong. Because it is three words and The art of longevity is two words.

    Thank you for your answers in advance.
    With regards, Tamas

    1. When the Japanese invaded Xiamen in 1938, Grandmaster Chee left for Singapore in 1944. In 1950, he moved to Dungun, a small town in the State of Terengganu in the then Malaya (now known as Malaysia).

      延壽功 can be translated as Extended life training or Extended life achievement, or more appropriately, The Art of Longevity.
