Qigong, qi gong, chi kung, or chi gung, literally 'Life Energy Cultivation') is a holistic system of coordinated body posture and movement, breath, and meditation used for health, spirituality, and martial arts training.

With roots in Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, qigong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi (chi) or what has been translated as 'life energy'.
