Mr. Raynolds- I found this to be an excellent review of SWIMMING DRAGON, the most helpful to me of the YT vids of SD that I have watched thus far.Very clear action and precise verbal description. Thanks! I look forward to your DVD! PS. My teacher Master Maurice Haltom taught us several excellent variations of SWIMMING DRAGON, saying,as you do, that it has a myriad of benefits, and is excellent for weight control and losing weight, potentially very helpful for diabetics.

Nando is a terrific teacher. I learned Swimming Dragon from him and have found it a very nice way to improve my balance, mood, and mindfulness.

I have many physical challenges but I believe this is a routine I'll be able to do.

[@NandoRaynolds]

Wishing you many benefits from practicing this, Steven! check out my other videos for other movements you might enjoy!

[@judykeller7474]

Thank you! This is the only video on YT that demonstrates the Swimming Dragon form exactly as it is presented in the original book! I had to learn it that way 20 years ago because there was no social media to learn it from. Back then, I used to do from 20 to 60 cycles a day. But then, a few years ago, I began to experience an almost excruciating pain in my feet when I did it. Others that I have taught Swimming Dragon also complained of pain in their feet. I still practice but I can only do a maximum of ten a day in intervals of three cycles at a time. What am I doing wrong?

[@NandoRaynolds]

Hi Judy, I would experiment with your foot position to listen closely to what your feet are trying to tell you (like "ouch I do not like this position" or "yikes, you are tensing your muscles unnecessarily!). They might also be saying, "Hey Judy, as we get older we lose some of the fat pads in the soles of our feet and things we used to be able to do as youngsters don't work so well any more". My 60 year old feet are different from my 20 year old feet..... You might be interested in some of my other material that gives you some of the gains and benefits of swimming dragon through different movements. Check out the rest of my youtube material and I also have DVDs and PDF/video based courses available (as well as teaching online the days). Keep moving! Nando

Which is the original book?

[@NandoRaynolds]

@TheLeilisa Unlikely to make you grow taller, but certainly more lithe and flexible!

Does this exercise increase sexual energy? Jing

[@blancaaviles5957]

where can I find your swimming dragon instructional dvd? Thank you.

[@NandoRaynolds]

Hi, The DVD is generally available through my website store, www.nando-r.com, however I'm having some supply chain challenges getting copies right now. To address that, I've prepared a series of private youtubes you can access by purchasing a PDF on Swimming Dragon, also on my website store. Thaks for the inquiry and wish you many benefits from your practice! - Nando

where can i get a haircut like that lol

[@mcmustalainen693]

Never Heard off -

[@allany27]

On the clip there is no explanation on any type Qi gong breathing pattern or visualizations, what is this???? Those are key elements of Qi gong and internal energy development , they are missing

[@kungfuedward]

My qigong teacher does a very similar version of this form and he doesn't include any special breathing or visualization either. Done correctly, the method is powerful enough without them! After only a few repetitions I was starting to sweat.
