As an important part of Chinese traditional culture, health Qigong evolved from conventional Chinese Qigong techniques. Since 2014, UIC has taken Health Qigong as an elective course in physical education. UIC Health Qigong Team was established in 2015 and has gained success in many large-scale health Qigong competitions, such as national and provincial competitions.
