Tai Chi Chuan & QiGong

At ShaoLin Center, internal arts encompass Tai Chi Chuan and QiGong. While these pieces are introduced and cultivated as moving meditations and contribute to the overall health of the practitioner, it is equally important to note that each should also be regarded, and taught, as a martial art. Many schools offer classes that emphasize the softness to enhance flexibility, mobility, and peace of mind, but without the martial understanding, it is only a part of the training. ShaoLin Center's internal arts curriculum is not only comprehensive, but it is complete – giving students the opportunity to develop in a way the original Masters intended.

ShaoLin Center's Internal Curriculum Includes:

  • Yang, Sun, and WuDang Styles of Tai Chi Chuan

  • Full array of empty-hand and weapons work

  • Two-person combat sets (empty-hand and weapons)

  • Individualized instruction

  • QiGong and healing arts practice

  • Toi Sau (push hands)

  • Six levels of progressive training

 

QiGong is the ancient art of "internal energy exercise." Following prescribed postures – while sitting, standing or moving – students focus on their breathing to quiet the mind and relax the internal pathways so energy, or qi, can pass through smoothly and effortlessly. The result is less stress, better balance and focus, and improved health.
