The Hiang Thé Central Shaolin Martial Arts Club offers classes that emphasize a balanced and complete approach to the art of self-defense. While much of the training enables you to defend yourself, the real benefits come from the confidence gained while developing concentration, discipline, agility, strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular conditioning. |

Chi Kung (Qigong) is an meditative exercise system developed in China that focuses on cultivating oneีs "lifeforce" energies for health and well-being. Chi Kung comes from the Chinese words "Chi" meaning "Energy," and "Kung," meaning "work" or "practice." Chi Kung practice develops the mind, body and internal "Chi" through special techniques to regulate the breath, special postures to regulate the body, and quiet concentration to regulate the mind and one's awareness. Da Mo's 18 position form is introduced in this class. |
