CMA and qigong

A hypothesis forming in my mind about CMA and qigong is that most Chinese martial arts would typically have barely scratched the surface of what qigong can really offer. There are a few reasons I have this hypothesis:

Kundalini yoga and qigong

I was reading about kundalini yoga on this page and elsewhere. Kundalini roughly sounds the same as prana, which seems to be essentially same concept as qi.

The approach could have a far-reaching impact, as many important cell receptors are activated in a similar way and might be controlled using Ingber’s [...]
