TAI-CHI (TAIJI)

This is a mind-body Chinese health exercise for improving one's overall wellness. It regulates the inner energy flow, and

enhances balance, strength and flexibility through its slow and graceful movements. Many recent medical studies have

revealed its potential benefits on bone mineral density, neuromuscular function, stress management, hypertension, fall

prevention, and arthritis pain etc.

BA-GUA (BA-QUA, PA-KUA)

This series of exercises integrates physiology, medical theory and martial arts, with the principles of the eight trigrams in

I-Ching, the five elemental energies (metal, wood, water, fire and soil), internal medicine and Dao-Yin (Chinese Yoga) as its

theoretical base. It is particularly suitable for the balanced development of the internal organs of a human body. Its intent

is to supplement 'prenatal' energy with 'postnatal' energy to rid illness, enhance health and attain longevity.

HSING-I (XINGYI, HSING-YI)

Also known as the form of Six Coordination of Mind and Consciousness. Internally it trains the mind, consciousness and

Chi, and externally it trains the tendons, skins and bones. Each of the external training exercises has a direct

correspondence to the internal training of organs such as lungs, kidneys, liver, heart and stomach respectively. The moves

progress from simple to complex and form its own distinct style.

SHAO-LIN

It consists of the Kung Fu styles originated in northern and southern China. Generally speaking, Northern Shao-Lin emphasizes more on leg/foot techniques while Southern Shao-Lin emphasizes more on arm/hand techniques, though

both strive for effectiveness.

TZI-MUN CHUAN (WORD STYLE)

Also called the Godlike Form of Ultimate Nothingness. The practice involves eighteen key words with the characteristic of

extremely speedy change of intent. The emphasis is on the training of tendons and energy during free sparring which in turn

helps strengthen the body and mind.

QIGONG FOR HEALTH

These ancient Chinese health exercises all share a common goal of enhancing the health of the body internally or

externally or both. They serve as self-healing exercises as well as preventive measures against health problems.

WEAPONS

The four representative weapons in Chinese Martial Arts are curved sword, spear, staff and sword, with spear being the

longest and sword being the most noble and graceful. Aside from the artistic aspects of different weapon forms, training

with weapons also cultivates agility, coordination of mind, body and the weapon at hand, as well as the unification of the

mind, body and spirit.
