Yi-Jin-Jing (Tendon-Altering Sutra), or 易筋经 in Chinese, is a famous Kung Fu from the Shaolin Temple School of Martial Arts. It is probably one of the most famous ancient Kung Fu manuscripts thanks to Mr. Jin Yong (Louis Cha), who used the Kung Fu manuscript in the story plots in two of his well-received Wuxia (Martial Heroes) novels: Smiling Proud Wanderer, and Demi-Gods and Semi Devils. It is considered one of the two top Kung Fu skills of Shaolin alongside the Xi-Sui-Jing (Marrow-Cleansing Sutra). Want to learn YJJ? here :

I have looked at Ji Jin Jing, and I looks a lot like Yoga to me.
As I understand it, this is not a martial arts fighting skill per se. The "Yi' in the 易筋经 is often translated as "Altering", as in "Tendon-Altering Sutra". I have a different opinion. I believe the 'Yi' refers more to stretching than Altering - but I grant that having stretched the muscles and tendons, a change takes place.
Some of the moves look similar to Ba Duan Jin 八段锦 - but that's just my opinion.
And truth be told, I want to practice Yi Jin Jing, but I have not started doing so.

That's a good translation too, Chef. Perhaps you're right cause it's like a yoga. And not to mention that Damo the founder of Shaolin was originally from India, and Yi Jin Jing was written by him! Let me know if you start to exercise YJJ. I wonder what will happen next. perhaps....you will become 25 years younger and agile? curious to know the result.
