The Five Elements Breathing Method will allow your body to make the most of every breath you take. Picture this: A man puts a plastic bag over his head and begins to suffocate. Within seconds, the lack of air will weaken his motor functions. At this instance he is losing energy, fast. In contrast, if one could increase the air intake into the lungs, then perhaps it's fair to say one could dramatically increase his energy level.Medical studies show that most humans only use one-sixth of our lungs, even professional athletes. Many doctors believe that if we could just use one-third of our lung capacity, we will no longer incur new internal health problems. Using beyond one-third of our lungs is believed to actually REVERSE internal health complications.One of the major benefits of Master Lu's breathing method is teaching you how to use more of your lungs. This method alone makes it possible for you to use your entire lung capacity, which could be six times your current active lung capacity. That's 600% of what you breathe now! Imagine the benefits to your overall health and daily energy level. You will be physically and mentally ready for anything, anytime! Not to mention more strength, endurance, agility, and focus.Best of all, it's so easy you can learn it at home!This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply. |

Five Elements Breathing Program by Wok King (VA USA)  1 Stars
February 18, 2007
I purchased the DVD based on reading the 5 reviews, all 5 Star rankings. BIG MISTAKE on my gullibility!! The first review was by Mr. LU himself. About 20 minutes of the DVD were about the breathing technique, mostly redundant and definitely superficial. My rating of one star is generous, only beause I couldn't give it a "zero!"
Because it was produced in 1991, the presentation did not effectively take advantage of better and more technically accurate (physiologically) graphics. Mr. LU demonstrates each excercise, but because he wears a hip long jacket, he is unable to visually demonstrate the movements of his body (stomach/lung area) during inhaling and exhaling since his body is drapped. Moreover, he does NOT describe how one should breath (inhale/exhale) during the excercises, i.e., through ones nose, mouth, or both? Of the approximately 25 minute video, less than 20 minutes explain the five element, and most of it is redundant.
I admire the 5 reviewers (plus the multitude of other testimonial providers) who could increase the capacity of their lungs six-fold (600%) by using Mr. Lu's Five Elements. Cost versus Benefi analysis? If you want my 5 cents worth, save your time, money, and breath!

A new chi kung? by Gift Card Recipient (Irvine, CA) 5 Stars
May 18, 2006
The closest thing you can compare this exercise to is Chi Kung, but it really isn't. The Five Element's movements are very different in that it truly focuses on breathing. It takes the mysterious and questionable factors out of Chi Kung and make it a very practical exercise. The workout gives me a great feeling that lasts all day. I'm loving it...

great stuff! by Kohn Liu (Boston, MA) 5 Stars
October 30, 2005
I purchased this DVD as a gift for my friend who's very much into fitness. She practices her Yoga twice a day. I wanted to buy her something she's never heard of, but also worth her time. When I came across this Chi Master's website, I wonder why I haven't heard of him before. Anyway, a couple weeks after my friend tried out the program, she suggested that I should pick it up too. By now I've experienced some of the results, and I want to say how great this program is. I could easily feel my breaths are deeper, and I have more sense of a reserved energy circulating inside of me all day long. The video wasn't fancy, but it was easy to understand, and easy to learn. I suggest those who enjoy the exhilarating feeling workout to pickup this DVD.

the answer I have been looking for by Joe 5 Stars
October 28, 2005
I had always known chi is the key to health and longevity. However, the myriad of chi cultivating systems out there usually sound so complicated that I am put off by them. This program is simple, effective and easy to learn. Highly recommended!
