In February, 2010:

Seminar I Ch'i Kung classes, including Introduction to Ch'i Kung, 18 Monks Ch'i Kung, Spinal Training and Six Healing Sounds, begin in February (2010).

Seminar I will explore four very important subjects of Ch'i Kung:

1. Introduction to Ch'i Kung. Ch'i Kung serves as the foundation of power for the martial artist. Master Lin will discuss Wei Dan (building Ch'i) and Nei Dan (inner circulation), Taoist and Buddhist breathing methods as well as the "Small" and "Grand" Ch'i circulations.

2. 18 Monks Ch'i Kung. Introducing for the very first time in school history, the famous "18 Monks Ch'i Kung". This Ch'i Kung has attracted investigation and is practised by many scholars in the highest research institute in Taiwan due to its effectiveness in self-healing and building inner energy, as well as inner power.

3. Spinal Training. Spinal Training is a unique training method employing a 50 inch staff. Created to strengthen and straighten the spine, this staff training not only lines up the spine properly, but it also stretches and strengthens the back and waist. "To take good care of spinal health" is the golden key to explore the innate power of the human body and create the self-healing effects to improve health. This training can greatly improve blood circulation, kidney function and reduce body weight. The seven most effective stick techniques will be practised during this section.

4. Six Healing Sounds. The Six Healing Sounds affect the entire body. Learn six ancient postures and the corresponding sounds representing the five elements (earth, metal, water, wood and fire) and how they relate to the five major organs of the body (stomach, lungs, kidneys, liver and heart).
