Qi Gong
Saturday morning will be dedicated to the most popular Qi Gong in the world and one of the earliest exercises practiced by the Shaolin monks. The Eight Treasures (or Ba Duan Ji as it is known in China) is a series of gentle movements designed to dramatically improve health, increase energy and revitalize the body. Through a series of gentle movements and meditation techniques, the Eight Treasures Qi Gong stimulates the flow of Qi through the acupuncture points. The movements are simple but powerful and can be practiced by adults of all ages.
Kung Fu
On Saturday afternoon Shifu will cover the fundamentals of Shaolin Kung Fu which is the key to understanding the more advanced moves. You will also do traditional strength training techniques, cardiovascular training, and speed training designed to give your muscles explosive power, and to narrow your reaction time.
The so-called secret of the Shaolin arts is the combination of Qi Gong and Kung Fu together. On Sunday you will learn how to combine Qi Gong and Kung Fu together to discover the crucial percentage level as to how much internal training you should do and how much external, depending on your age and fitness level. You will progress with the Eight Treasures Form and learn how to link the five fundamental Shaolin stances together.
