Min Lui jum

The Cotton Needle form, also called “Needle in Cotton”, or Min Lui Jum, is a Chi Kung set performed on 14 raised platforms.

Needle in Cotton contains combat techniques but is mainly performed for its health benefits as its motions and breathwork have a healing effect on the body when performed correctly. The set is meditative in practice and develops agility, coordination and precision of aim and body position. Considered “peace through movement” the motions are slow, relaxed and in tune with the breath.
