My Teaching focuses on Yang Sheng Gong and martial arts like Taijiquan, blending tradition with personal growth to help students thrive. Through these practices, students can expect to build physical strength, improve mental clarity, and foster a sense of harmony and balance in their lives.
Yang Sheng Gong – Life Nurturing Practices
Yang Sheng Gong offers a holistic approach to boosting vitality and promoting well-being, rooted in time-honoured traditions and practices. This practice brings together things like Daoyin (導引), Qigong (氣功), meditation, Neidan, and even simple tweaks to your diet. These traditions, rooted in Chinese philosophy and medicine, are all about helping you feel great—building physical strength and flexibility, enhancing mental focus and clarity, and cultivating emotional balance and resilience.
When I first started exploring Yang Sheng Gong, I thought of it as a mix of health techniques to align your body and mind with nature’s rhythms. But as I went deeper, I realised it’s so much more than that. It’s about creating harmony—not just within yourself, but in your relationships, your community, and even the world around you. It’s all connected, and by looking after yourself, you’re also nurturing everything and everyone around you.
Martial Arts – Taijiquan
You might know Taijiquan (or Tai Chi) as a graceful, flowing exercise, but there’s so much more to it! Underneath those movements is an amazing system of martial arts and inner development, focusing on cultivating self-awareness, mental resilience, and a deeper connection to your energy and intentions. At our school, we focus on teaching authentic Yang style Taijiquan—a blend of health, martial skills, and personal growth.
The practice is built around thirteen core principles that help you develop balance, strength, and harmony—both inside and out. We’ll start with the basics, like relaxing (Fang Song) and really listening to your body (Ting Jin). From there, we’ll move into advanced techniques, like neutralising energy (Hua Jin) and expressing power (Fa Jin). It’s a journey where you’ll build skills step by step.
And the best part? You’ll learn how these movements work in real life—whether it’s for self-defence or partner exercises like Tui Shou. Whether you’re here for fitness, martial arts, or something deeper—like a deeper sense of self-awareness or a way to connect with your inner energy—Taijiquan has something special for everyone.
