Definition
气功 (qìgōng) is a traditional Chinese practice that combines slow, controlled movements, deep breathing, and focused meditation to cultivate and balance qi (vital energy). It's often used for health maintenance, healing, and martial arts training. Unlike simple deep-breathing exercises, 气功 involves a holistic mind-body approach with specific postures and breath patterns.
