As far as the movements go, they do work. But then again, a lot of qigong techniques work. I've spoken with some Chinese qigong advanced students and teachers and all of them told me that much of Li's work is derivative and lifted from other esoteric instructions.
Where Li departs from the normal qigong teacher is how he presents the framework. According to his lecture series, his masters protect his practitioners from all the evils of the world. In particular, other *nonFalun* methods originate from animal spirits which when practiced, can lead to spirit possession and corruption of the human body. Also, according to Li, the comet that hit Jupiter during the mid-90s was originally headed for earth. The reason why the earth was saved from Armageddon was due to Li's not so subtle influence. In addition, he'd stated that ALL people who work with hi-tech and computers, are marked for being controlled by aliens who've been providing scientists with much of the 20th century’s electronic technology. His students, of course, are protected from aliens. What more do I need to say?
