I learned about Qi-Kong while I was sabbatical in Taiwan. Coming back to US, I was ready to give it a try: Practice Qi-Kong alone at Dr. Chen's porch with a winter cap.
Unlike Taiwanese who would spontaneously gather together in the park, or school campus in the morning to do various morning exercises which included Qi-Kong, Tai-Chi, Dance, and many others, Americans in the neighborhood do not spontaneously gather to do exercise. Americans prefer pay exercise club membership fee and to do cardiovascular and weight exercises in the club. Since there are no single Qi-Kong group in the club, it means that Dr. Chen has to do this alone at the garden porch.
Taiwanese summer is hot. Even in the morning, the temperature can be as high as 28 C (or 82 F). Wisconsin summer is quite cool. The temperature in the morning is typical 15 C (or 60 F). You need extra clothes besides T-shirt to feel comfortable in the outside.
Attached please find a photo which shows Dr. Chen is practicing Qi-Kong at his Wisconsin home.
