Taijiquan & Qigong
Taijiquan is internal martial art that applies a particula way of developing power. Whilst external martial arts use momentum and contraction of tissues, taijiquan is built on utilizing release of mass and absorption of mind through the body to generate energy and movement
Qigong is a system of static and moving exercises aimed at attentive guidance, rather than forceful control, of internal energy. Starting with refinement of breathing and building the anchoring field in a lower abdomen, qigong progresses to circulation of energy to open the channels, to nourish organs and, ultimately, to transform the mind.
