Our Networks
CesamQ works closely with several significant Qigong players around the world and we are constantly working to develop our exchange programs for both teachers and students. Our network includes:
Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine
With 16,000 students, 23 Bachelor's programs and 55 Master's programs, Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a key player in training the TCM physicians of the future. The university, which is today one of five TCM universities sponsored by the Chinese state, was among the first institutions to start international education with the approval of the Chinese Ministry of Education in 1993. Yangtorp has an ongoing exchange program with the university for both teachers and students. The collaboration also makes it possible for our students to apply for scholarships at Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and practice at Chinese hospitals.

Shaolin Temple
Shaolin Temple was built in 497 AD in Zhengzhou, China. The famous martial art Shaolin-Kung fu was born here, and the Shaolin monks are known for their strength, agility and skill in handling Qi. Shaolin is a unique center for classical Chinese martial arts, and Yangtorp has an active exchange program with the temple: we regularly invite Shaolin monks as guest lecturers and guest trainers and arrange study trips to Shaolin.
