Wednesday Qigong Class

Baduanjin, a famous Qigong set.

The practice of Qigong stems from the Daoist art of Daoyin. This non-martial practice focuses on building the health of the body, while developing Qi through the application of intent and breathing. Qigong offers martial artists a root for strengthening and building their health for training and combat, while the average person gains many benefits in awareness, improved breathing skills, meditation, focus, and physical conditioning of the internal ligaments, tendons, and tissues. This practice is often likened to yoga, but is unique in that it is accessible to everyone, and a practitioner's growth is only limited by their dedication, and not by their injuries, flexibility, or physical ailments.

Wudang Gongfu & Taijiquan Schedule

For the Cypress Grove Park classes, we are going to have a schedule adjustment. This change was brought on by the fact that some students have to travel far, others get out work late, and just in hopes of opening up training for more people interested in participating.

Wudang Gongfu & Taijiquan classes will be combined at Cypress Grove Park, time-wise. Students are welcome to begin their training at 5:30 (show up earlier for stretching), and class will go on until 7:30-7:45. If you can't make it to class by 5:30, you can stretch out and begin your training once settling, so there's no issue with arrival time.

Taijiquan students will still focus on their discipline; Gongfu students will still focus on their discipine. But this will help everyone come to class for at least an hour, no matter their schedule, and have more time with an instructor for questions and review.

Feel free to comment any thoughts on this, or any questions you may have with this change!
