QIGONG is the art of energy cultivation. Gentle to dynamic, internal to external - the umbrella term includes all modern and ancient Chinese methods of working the body, breath, mind and spirit to naturally enhance life force and vitality at any age. The practice is the mindful repetition that educates and informs all levels of physical and mental training. With modern sensitivity, teaching in the authentic and traditional style: Tai Chi Qigong, Eight Brocades Qigong, Yi Jin Jing Qigong, Five Animal / Five Element Qigong, Six Healing Sounds Qigong, Golden Lotus Qigong, Three Treasures Medical Qigong, Yue Fei Martial Qigong, Bagua Eight Trigram Palm Qigong, Iron Palm Qigong, Iron Bone Qigong, Iron Body Qigong, Lightness Skill Qigong, and more.
TAIJIQUAN is literally the "grand ultimate fist" or "grand ultimate system" - of movement, meditation and the martial arts. An advanced and systematic form of choreographed QIGONG, TAI CHI uses softness, relaxation and yielding to neutralize outside force. TAI CHI blends ancient Taoist philosophy and harmonic yin/yang energy flow to create a complete lifestyle art for modern health and longevity. The gentle techniques, body balance, mechanics and mindset used to stay alive on the ancient battlefield are most perfectly suited for dealing with the stress and tensions of modern times. Suitable for any age or ability, teaching in the authentic and traditional style: 24 Tai Chi, 37 Tai Chi, Tai Chi Fan, Tai Chi Straight Sword, Yang Tai Chi (Long and Short Form), Chen Tai Chi (Long and Short Form), Wu Tai Chi (Short Form), Wu/Hao Tai Chi (Short Form), Sun Tai Chi (Short Form), Zhaobao Tai Chi (Short Form), and more. Pushing Hands and full martial application Combat Tai Chi Training is available to the experienced and motivated student.
GONGFU is time and effort. Chinese Martial Arts of many styles and disciplines all fall under this term. TAIJIQUAN is a form of INTERNAL QONGFU. Instruction in additional INTERNAL GONGFU styles begins with BAGUAZHANG and XINGYIQUAN. Instruction in EXTERNAL GONFU styles includes Northern and Southern Fist, Shaolin Long Fist, Animal Styles, Chin-Na Joint Locking and Self Defense, a diverse array of Exotic and Classical Chinese Weapons, and more. Empty handed striking and kicking skills are developed in practice and later refined through two person routines and SANSHOU Free Sparring.
CHAN is meditation. The original ZEN, an evolution of DHYANA, and the preferred enlightenment technique of the Chinese martial monks. Blending with the indigenous life nourishing systems of the Taoists and the unique character of ancient Chinese medicine and philosophy, the training grew from the 6th century onward to include stationary NEIGONG inner energy cultivation and spiritual alchemy, breath work and mind training - a complete strategy toward an indestructible sense of well being and beyond.
YOGA is the cessation of the mind. ASANA is the posture. This most universally recognized limb of YOGA is the physical training, flexibility and movement mindset uniquely educated by the Indian Philosophies. Increasingly modernized by the influence of western gymnastics, body strength training and calisthetics - classically approached Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Classes as well as instructor refinement are offered in traditional HATHA and modern VINYASA.
