haha its interesting to explain it to people, first of all don't even worry if they approve of qigong or not.
My folks often asked me why bother doing such slow movements... Do some real exercise! ahhaha
I tell them to feel my hands, and they know somethings going on, then i explain to them its training your awareness and consciousness to purify and create efficiency for the body.
I then tell them that the idea is create a harmony of the body mind through breathing.
the joke is now my parents are actually interested in qigong, my dad is using some basic joint exercise and combining them with breath techniques
