Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.

Tai chi
Tai chi is an ancient Chinese martial art famous for its excellent health
benefits.
Emphasis is placed upon mobile joints, relaxed muscles and optimal alignment
of the body at all times.
The training encourages a calm mind and composed emotions. Tranquility,
harmony and balance are nurtured.
Neigong
Neigong involves the cultivation of an unusual kind of physical strength
which can be used in self defence and everyday life.
It is a major theme in our syllabus.
Self defence
The (optional) self defence syllabus includes chin na, countering a knife,
shuai jiao and weapons.
The aim of self defence is to escape from violence without injury.
We teach students how to respond calmly and instinctively, without
aggression or force.
