American Qigong Association (AQA) We are pleased to announce the formation of the first national association created to become the quintessential clearinghouse on information related to Qigong.  Interest has peaked to the point that now a formal entity is being created to help bring Qigong into the public eye.  The AQA will help people stay abreast of the groundbreaking research going on in the dozens of universities currently engaged CAM research, find out when the NIH's Office Of Alternative Medicine is saying about Qigong, and stay abreast of the classes offered around the country on and about Qigong by the various practitioners and Masters.

World Qigong Federation  (WQF) The WQF has been created at the request of associates and individuals worldwide that are seeking a network to participate in to discover the exciting developments in the field of Qigong that are taking place no only throughout China but all across Asia, Europe, and around the world.  Utilizing the World Wide Web and an upcoming newsletter, members will be able to access Qigong Masters, research papers, ongoing classes, and others interested in this growing alternative healthcare field.
