After three months, you will feel fitter and healthier, your confidence enhanced, your mind clearer, likely experience a weight adjustment, your flexibility improved, detox your body, and enjoy your new self!

What will be learned?
This program packs in the best elements of Internal Kung Fu andChi Kung in a way that has proven to give students just what they want. Since most students are complete beginners in Kung Fu, the Internal Program will get beginners off to a strong start from day one.
Internal Kung Fu Sun Frost White Crane Soft and Gentle Art
The "Sun Frost White Crane Soft and Gentle Art" can usually be referred to as “Shuang Yang”. It looks similar to Tai Chi but follows the Buddhist Shaolin Tradition. This program backs a soft, meditative art that will boost your health, strength, concentration, and energy through relaxed, fluid movements that develop suppleness, mobility, calmness, and balance. A true internal Kung Fu form - Learn a soft, meditative art that will boost your health, strength, concentration, and energy.
Tong Ling Chi Kung for health and longevity
The Tong Ling Chi Kung system is an easy and efficient system suitable for beginners to advanced,. "Tong" means clearing, access, flowing, and circulating and "Ling" means effectiveness, swiftness, and alertness. Practicing Chi Kung can help you remain young, be healthy, and get healthy, boost your energy levels, counters stress, and enhances your senses.
This system is a set of soft exercises that combine physical movement with breathing techniques, meditation, and the movement of chi so that you can feel better, breathe better, and live better.
Bodhidharma’s Vein Tendon Chi Kung for strength, power, and health joints
A Martial Chi Kung, Bodhidharma's (Tat Moh) Vein Tendon Chi Kung is a simple yet effective system that tones all of the tendons in the body and increases its elasticity so that it can store energy. It packs Chi into the internal organs, strengthens, and energizes them which results in becoming resistant to injury and disease.
By building this elasticity and a good level of tone into the fascia, we open the flow of chi in the meridians and maintain a sufficient space in the joints to house enough synovial fluid to keep the joint properly nourished and lubricated. This keeps it healthy and arthritis and similar are avoided.
Stretching
Nam Yang Kung Fu Retreat methods for stretching come from both Kung Fu and yoga to greatly improve joint and muscle flexibility and teach body relaxation. Within your mind, you have a lot of limitations, such as how flexible you think you are, and unfortunately in some ways, it is not in the conscious thinking part of the mind and tends to be ingrained into your physical self.
This program will allow you to dislodge these misconceptions, to get into the mind, and rework the mind. Through the practice, you will not only work on the body but also on linking the mind and body to achieve a higher level of flexibility than you may have thought possible!
