Hi,
since I started in a taiji new school...it seems from Qi Gong department only Zhang Zhuang is taught and practiced. I enjoy it and feel the benefits.
I still would like to learn some "moving qi gong" and there are a couple of courses coming up pretty soon in my neighborhood which have caught my attention. I would like to just go ahead and give them all a try, but for financial reasons I must make choice between which courses to attend...or/and...ordering Dr. Yang's "The Eight Brocade"s or "Shaolin White Crane Hard and Soft Qi Gong."
I'm keen on ordering the two DVD's, but not sure which one first...and I so often hear that it's better to learn from a teacher (in real life), so I'm interested in the courses, but I'm not really sure which Qi Gong are they exactly...could someone help me with this?
The first one on my mind comes from a group called "Zhineng Qigong Center"

Anyone familiar with this?
The second one comes from a teacher who's main art is baji, but also teaching taiji, bagua and xingyi. I tried to ask questions but with no luck...but here's a video of them performing some Qi Gong...

Is this close to anything you've done?
I'm not so familiar with the differences between different Qi Gong...I don't know what is White Crane Qi Gong...and is only the soft side supposed to be trained with taiji...and is it better to get to know the "Eight Brocade's" first.
so many choices...
