Energy efficient INTERNAL
Chinese Martial Arts style
utilising “push-pull”
yielding principles and movements
based on circular flowing movement

making for harmony and balance.
​
In the immortal words of Lao Tzu:
"Nothing under heaven is softer
or more yielding than water;
but when it attacks things
that are hard and resistant,
there is not one of them
that can prevail.
That the yielding
conquers the resistant and
the soft conquers the hard
is a fact known by all men,
yet utilized by none."
This class focuses on form practice
with a practical understanding
of self defence aimed at improving
health, relaxation, balance,co-ordination,
reflex action, strength, stamina,
flexibility and general fitness
