Hidden Qi: The Mystery of Chinese Kung Fu $12.29 Witness the extreme feats of men who have transcended their perceived physical limitations by harnessing their Qi through the ancient art of Qigong in a fascinating documentary that aims to be as entertaining as it is educational. A word that translates into English as “breath” or ‘air,” “Qi” represents the energy that exists in all human beings. Though rigid self discipline and lifelong practice, Qigong practitioners are said to not only increase health and lifespan, but endure blows that may prove deadly to the unconditioned person. With numerous demonstrations highlighting the seemingly super-human powers bestowed upon Qigong practitioners, this release offers compelling evidence that the flesh may not be as fragile as we are often led to believe. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi |

Shaolin Qi Gong $41.8 The great teacher Bodhidharma is credited with the creation of Shaolin Temple qi gong and kung fu in the 6th century CE. Motivated by the terrible physical condition of the monks who spent all their time meditating or copying scrolls, his two-part system promoted physical as well as spiritual fitness and became the basis for all the martial and meditative arts taught in the Shaolin Temple. These ancient practices increase physical health and vitality, enhance creativity, and can be practiced well into old age.Author Shi Xinggui, a Shaolin monk, explains the fundamental principle of qi gong–the art of mastering energy (qi) and moving it through the body–and provides clear demonstrations of all the positions and movements. In order to develop qi attentively, it is necessary to cultivate the art of slowness in both movement and breathwork. Shi Xinggui provides both a short form and a long form of the daily exercises, with lessons on heart centering, organ strengthening, and balancing the energy using the three dantians–the three energy centers of the body. |

Kung Fu Panda 2 $15.27 Co-composed by Hanz Zimmer and John Powell, both of whom helmed the first installment of the immensely popular Dreamworks animation series, the score for Kung Fu Panda 2 dutifully expands on the motifs that the pair introduced in the inaugural film. Zimmer, who traveled to China in 2007 to absorb the country’s rich musical history, adds more regional flare to the orchestral score this time around, but listeners who enjoyed the initial blend of swashbuckling, martial arts-inspired adventure themes and lush, pastoral interludes won’t come away disappointed, as the two styles are well represented here. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi Performers: Hua Qi – Erhu; Michael Baker – Tympani [Timpani]; Anthony Pleeth – Cello; Metro Voices – Choir, Chorus; Michael Hobe – Sampling; Sam Estes – Sampling; Bill Lockhart – Percussion; Frank Ricotti – Percussion; Gary Kettel – Percussion; Ian Thomas – Percussion; Paul Clarvis – Percussion; Stephen Henderson – Percussion |
