Absolutely! Any exercise that slows one down and helps one focus definitely helps manage anxiety disorder. I have many friends with anxiety disorder and they do many kinds of exercise to help. I went to google.com and found this information I am pasting here for you to read. I'll also paste the site so you can go on and read more for yourself. The person gets better much faster when willing to exercise, as exercise helps not only the mind but all the body systems, so it's a multifaceted activity.

Yes, Chi Kung helps to calm the mind. Try some of the breathing meditation. I chance upon this site on Chi Kung few days ago.
