Tai Chi chuan (kun lun taiji quan)
Our Taijiquan (Tai Chi) is taught by Darren Rose and comes from the Qing imperial palace prior to 1900. This was period when the internal martial arts, including Taijiquan, Xingyiquan, and Baguazhang, were preserved and cultivated among elite circles, and valued by the military for training bodyguards for the emperor/empress.
Taijiquan, often translated as “Supreme Ultimate Boxing,” is a Chinese internal martial art rooted in Daoist philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine, and classical martial principles. It emphasizes the cultivation of qi (vital energy), the harmonization of yin and yang forces, and the integration of body, mind, and breath.

Qi Gong
Qi Gong is an ancient system of movement and breath designed to cultivate health, vitality, and longevity. It involves working with the body’s qi—or vital life energy—to enhance overall well-being.
During this immersive course, participants will receive instruction in a variety of qi gong practices that will strengthen, purge and regulate the energy system of the body. These specific techniques are not generally found in the public domain and offer a chance for real healing and self-development. Students will also gain insight into the fundamental principles and ideas behind this ancient form of natural healing.
