Frequently Asked Questions

Your course access does not expire. You’ll have access to the course in the online learning center for as long as I’m teaching Chinese Reflexology, which I expect to be many years. I don’t promise “lifetime access” because making a promise with integrity is something that’s very important to me. I don’t believe that anyone can promise lifetime access with full integrity. E.g. whose lifetime are they guaranteeing? Yours or theirs? What if you outlive them by 20 years? What if the file format becomes obsolete in 20 years? 

I’ve been using the Internet for almost 30 years and worked in high tech. In that time, I’ve witnessed technology, infrastructure, and file formats change dramatically. I’ve also seen industry giants become obsolete. Therefore, no one can guarantee lifetime access.

However, I can guarantee at least three years of access (excluding unforeseen disaster or death) as I’m confident that the file formats will still be around three years from now, and I’m fairly optimistic that people won’t be plugging their brains directly into the Internet in three years! 🙂 However, the available time will likely be much longer as you’ll have indefinite access for as long as I’m teaching.

Dao gong is a simple system of gentle movements. The key to Dao Gong’s potency is its unique Daoist mindset for practicing. Thus, it’s not so much about what you’re doing, but more about how you’re doing it.

Tai Chi’s roots are in martial arts, and it’s about overcoming challenges through consistent effort. On the other hand, Qi Gong isn’t a martial art. Its roots are in wellness, and it encourages us to nourish life.

However, at the heart of it, both Tai Chi and Qi Gong operate from a paradigm of disease, disfunction, or lack with the goal of fixing or remedying what is broken.

Yoga is a poplar movement practice that often challenges the body. Many postures can be difficult to do without personal instruction or conditioning. Dao Gong does not require any special practice spaces, props, or uncomfortable poses. It is gentle, easy to learn, and you can even practice it while you’re brushing your teeth!

Absolutely! If you’ve ever studied Tai Chi or Qi Gong, you may be familiar with some of these movements. However, Dao Gong takes it to the next level. Students have commented that David “does a great job of explaining things and breaking down the movements step by step.” However, what they don’t realize is that in his step-by-step break down, David is actually revealing secrets not taught in other practices. As his teacher said, “The secrets are hiding in plain sight!” Dao Gong is intended to supplement the human condition. In that regard, it will improve your existing movement practice and also grow your capacity for play!

This recording is from the introductory workshop taught in June 2023. David demonstrated 4 of Dao Gong’s 18 movements. For the full system of Dao Gong, David taught a Secrets of Dao Gong course. Currently, registration is not open for this course, but it will likely be open again in Spring 2024 for $550. While this introductory workshop covers four movements, David selected ones that would be of great benefit to you. The “What students have to say” section on this page are shares from students who only practiced the four movements in this recording. 

If you have previously enrolled in Secrets of Dao Gong, you will find the recording of the introductory workshop in the Bonuses section when you login to wudangwest.com.  

This is like purchasing a product where 1% or proceeds are donated to an organization, only we’re donating 50% and also our time, labor and infrastructure to make the workshop recording available online. Because Chinesefootreflexology.com is not a registered non-profit, we are unable to issue you a donation receipt. If you would like to support Wudang West Cultural Heritage Center in their mission of preserving and sharing Wudang traditions to promote health and wellness around the world, you can make a donation at www.wudangwest.com. 

Can I donate directly to Wudang West and then get access to the course?

Unfortunately, this option is not available. Wudang West is a small non-profit where David does almost everything himself to support the organization. As a result, Wudang West does not have the infrastructure or resources to make this workshop recording available as a gift with donation. That’s why it’s exclusively available for purchase here.
