The practice methods vary according to their classification, such as internal strength and external strength.

Shaolin Qigong aims at achieving deep tranquility and seeking movement within tranquility. It practices hard to sink the Qi into the Dantian and regulate the Zong Qi, Wei Qi and Yuan Qi of the whole body. The quiet one is the inner strength, which can stabilize the mind and cultivate the nature, prevent and treat diseases, eliminate illness and prolong life. The dynamic one can unleash the power of a tiger and help generate the strength to push mountains. It combines both internal and external qualities and is unique.

Shaolin Qigong is a unique Qigong developed on the basis of medical Qigong and is used for internal and external calming. Successive Shaolin monks have worked hard to practice and gradually improved it by learning from the strengths of teachers outside the temple, making it a unique flower in the Shaolin martial arts world. Especially in 621 AD, after the thirteen monks led by Jueyuan and Huichang defeated the Zheng army and helped King Tang, the Shaolin Temple became famous, Shaolin Qigong also flourished and reached a relatively high level, such as: "Vajra Fist", "Palm Splitting Wood", "Top Splitting Bricks", "Head Breaking Stone", "Flying Cloud Walking", etc. At the same time, many qigong masters with profound skills have emerged, such as the monk Huishan in the Tang Dynasty, the abbot Fuyou in the Song Dynasty, the monk Yueling in the Ming Dynasty, Master Zhenjun in the Qing Dynasty, and the modern Master Dechan.

After the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, Shaolin Temple and Shaolin martial arts gradually declined, and the number of people practicing qigong decreased. Especially in 1928, the warlord Shi Youshan burned down the Shaolin Temple, and the original version of the boxing manual, most of the martial arts and qigong materials were burned to ashes. Since then, most of the Shaolin qigong has been lost.

In April 1982, the Shaolin abbot, Venerable Dechan, established the "Shaolin Wushu Sorting Group" in the temple and served as the group leader. He said: In order to inherit Shaolin Wushu, I will persevere to the end as long as I have breath. I also want to see the social benefits of this compiled martial arts cultural heritage.

Shaolin Qigong has two types: internal and external. Internal energy is mainly used for meditation and self-cultivation, and is particularly effective in preventing and treating many chronic diseases, such as heart disease, neurasthenia, hysteria, etc. Long-term practice can make the body lighter and prolong life. Legend has it that it can even turn old age back to childhood. External Kung Fu is mainly used in martial arts, which utilizes the body's vital energy, true energy, and essence, and runs through the entire martial arts. The boxing manual says: "The Qi arrives first at the place where the hands and feet are exerted, and the blood is the shield of the Qi, which is very powerful." This is what it means.
