Further Description

In Chinese traditional martial arts, training typically starts with 'Jibengong' - foundation training. These are preparatory exercises that develop the basic physical aspects of the body before more complex martial training begins - strength, fluidity, agility, and coordination all see tremendous benefit from these very unique exercises. We will explore many such exercises in the workshop, as well as see the completely novel method of programming that is used by the Chinese use. Expect arm and leg swings of many variaties, static and moving stance work, stepping drills and much more!

We will focus on qualities over performance of flashy skills. The qualities created by such exercises are quite rare to see in other practices, and are extremely beneficial for physical health even if you are not engaging in a complete martial system of training. Deep relaxation and a strong united body are possible for anyone with dedicated practice of these simple (but definitely not easy!) practices.
