Our curriculum consists of the Beijing 24 Form, Old Yang Style Long Form, Straight Sword Form, Broad sword form, Tai Chi Chi-kung 18, Eight Strands of Brocade, Zhan Zhuang (Standing Meditation), Push-Hands and Martial Applications (Self Defense). Education in Traditional Chinese Medicine is provided by way of seminars and suggested readings. In keeping with the focus of the WCCSD we teach the Way of Martial Arts.
We show our students how martial arts are physical metaphors for life. The lessons learned from martial arts training teach one how to deal with life’s challenges as well as personal and business relationships. Through the practice of martial arts one can also improve their physical and mental health. We utilize both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine to explain how these benefits are accomplished.Self development, (improvement) is our goal and we enjoy helping our students find the path that helps them along their journey. Our program has no formal uniform, loose comfortable clothing is recommended for training.
