Tai Chi | Internal Martial Arts

nick sunrise 077 1024x595 Tai Chi | Internal Martial Arts

Our aim is to give people the whole art, as the heal­ing and the fight­ing are the yin and yang sides of the same coin which com­plete this internal art. This means that even classes from Taiji and Qigong will involve learn­ing some mar­tial con­tent, the­or­et­ic­ally, philo­soph­ic­ally or phys­ic­ally. This is because some mar­tial under­stand­ing teaches you how to use the body’s struc­ture and move­ment cor­rectly to gen­er­ate and cul­tiv­ate the internal energy sys­tem to its fullest.

Internal Fighting Arts
Powered by Fa-jing (explos­ive energy) the internal Kung fu sys­tems of Taijiquan and Baguazhang teach us how to use our entire bod­ies, includ­ing out internal energy, for self defence. Through learn­ing to release out internal energy and attack the most vul­ner­able points of the human body, Taiji and Bagua allow us to make use of the attacker’s ener­getic sys­tem to stop a fight fast!

Self Healing and Medical Aspects
Internal Kung Fu teaches how to use the body and har­ness our internal energy sys­tem to per­form work… whether it be for self defence, heal­ing or pick­ing up after the kids!

The heal­ing aspects of this art come into play by learn­ing how to use the body as a single unit provid­ing the internal energy with a smooth and con­stant avenue to flow through­out your body. The abil­ity to har­ness your internal energy finally leads to the abil­ity to trans­fer Qi and aids everyone’s nat­ural heal­ing gifts. Once these gifts are added to the heal­ing meth­ods hid­den within the move­ments of the Taiji forms, one has a truly amaz­ing and effect­ive heal­ing art.
