Chinese Kung Fu is a holistic and holographic training, rather than just physical training. Kung Fu combines external and internal training. One famous Chinese Kung Fu proverb says, “You can get strong tendons, bones, and muscles from external training, and obtain strong Chi (internal energy) from internal training.”
Chinese Traditional Kung Fu has no written scriptures but follows nature, with a history going back 5000 years, composed of specific forms and unique training methods. Kung Fu is a very important part of Chinese Traditional Culture. It is based on Yin and Yang, Five Elements Theory (Lungs pertain to Metal, Kidneys pertain to Water, the Liver pertains to Wood, the Heart pertains to Fire, and the Spleen pertains to Earth), and the Book of Change (I Ching). Kung Fu also absorbs the essence from Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, getting meridians and collateral and meridian points theory from Chinese Traditional Medicine.

Chinese Traditional Kung Fu is a magical box. From this box, you can get what you want, including a healthy body, good sleep, longevity, graceful body shape (not fat or thin), optimistic mood, broad mind, strength, speed, flexibility, coordination, responsiveness, integrity, magical fighting and combat abilities, strong self-defense, a strong will, extraordinary courage, the ability to adapt to different environments, independence, and the ability to cooperate with others.

Meihua Quan is an ancient style of Chinese boxing which existed as early as the Shang Dynasty (1600 B.C. - 1046 B.C.). For thousands of years, Meihua Quan had been practiced as a secret martial art in tightly knit organizations, maintaining the internal unity. That preservation has brought fine traditions and outstanding skills to the masters of the past.
Currently, Meihua Quan is characterized by a family-like atmosphere where practitioners of different level consistently help each other to improve their levels. The study of Meihua Quan consists of two parts, the theoretic field, and the martial field.
The theory is derived from ancient scriptures and documents which have been handed down from generation to generation. Meanwhile, the martial field of Meihua Quan develops the martial skills and teaches the theory of boxing. The martial skills consist of framework or Jia Zi, footwork at eight directions or Ba Fang, duel-training boxing or Cheng Quan, winning boxing or Yang Quan, weapons, and Qi Gong. -Jia Zi
Jia Zi is the routine for basic Kung fu training in Meihua Quan and consists of stake stances and moving steps. These five stances are based on the theory of generation and restriction of the five elements metal, water, wood, fire, and earth respectively along with Yin-Yang theory.
Meanwhile, the three kinds of moving steps are very useful footwork drills to develop the ability to leap, advance, and retreat in all directions, to twist one's stance and upper body, to turn to the left or right, etc. In practical use, the three methods enable the practitioner to move like the wind, stand like a nail, rapidly change from a high position to a low attacking position, and retreat quickly after attacking.
Ba Fang Ba Fang is footwork unique to Meihua Quan. There are three types of Ba Fang, small, middle, and big. This kind of footwork enables the practitioner to move in every direction, advance or retreat, attack, or defend.
Cheng Quan Cheng Quan or duel and training boxing is a set of movements for duel training. These movements are assigned to the eight directions of the four doors or Si Men and are connected by moving steps and Ba fang steps. In Cheng Quan boxing, there are combat training routines similar to real fighting, including techniques such as grabbing, punching, tumbling, sinking, rolling, and wrestling.
Through Cheng Quan training, the practitioner can learn to feel the strength of the opponent transform the strength of the opponent and estimate the depth of the strength of the opponent. In this way, the practitioner can gain a high sense of intuition.
Ying Quan Ying Quan or winning boxing is an actual spar. At this level, the two practitioners do not follow set handwork or footwork but use rapid movements, interlocking footwork, and skillful handwork. In combat, defending is attacking, attacking is defending, and victory to failure is a matter of seconds.
Weapons in Meihua Quan
Meihua Quan includes not only the 18 kinds of traditional weapons and their complete routines but also the practice of rare weapons. Weapons can be used in a duel by two practitioners according to the four door or Si men and the eight directions. Their movements are unusual and are uniquely tied together with close-knit footwork.
Qi Gong
Besides the practice of martial arts and weapons, Meihua Quan also includes special Qi Gong training methods known as Neidan or internal elixir and Waidan or external elixir. Meihua Quan Qi Gong contains methods about nourishing and feeding on Qi, such as a small Qi Gong circuit, eight section brocades, twelve section brocade, changing tendon method, etcetera. It also contains many methods on how to concentrate the attention, conduct Qi, regulate breathing, and clearing the mind of random thoughts. All are excellent methods to train the calmness, Qi, and the spirit.
Stake Kung Fu or Zhuang Gong
In ancient times, Meihua Quan was practiced on the top of stakes that were driven into the ground. The stakes are divided into three levels corresponding to the practitioner's level, low, middle, and high. The benefits of practicing over the stakes are numberless but some are the balance of the body, deep sinking into the stances, increasing the strength and Qi of the whole body, natural treating of pressure points on the feet, detox, etc.
State of wholism
In the practice of Meihua Quan, when you reach the state of wholism, you have achieved success. The real art is invisible. If one arrives at the state of wholism, it means one has captured the real art. This is the most advanced stage.
Nowadays, Tianmeng wants to reveal the mysteries of Meihua Quan to the world, which could only develop and progress from it. From ancient times until now, all practitioners of Meihua Quan were part of one family characterized by a high respect amongst each other, deep traditions, and endless inspiration. %The formula to wholism is the successful state of practice, it will help you built a real form. The real form contains real quintessence and spirit and real quintessence conceals smoothly flowing Qi. To make each movement coordinated with the real form, you must make the real form free with each movement. When they are well coordinated, each part of your body will become completely flexible.
Wing Chun
Wing Chun is a Kung Fu style that focuses on close-range combat, protecting and attacking the 'centreline'. It involves kicks, sweeps, strikes, punches, trapping, and control techniques. It is aimed at both defending and attacking at the same time. Control of oneself to ultimately control one's opponent is emphasized.
Wu Mei Shi Tai, the creator of Wing Chun was originally a master of Kung Fu and created this style to take advantage of other Shaolin styles. Wing Chun was named after her first student Yan Yong Chun and is now practiced by many people around the world. One of the most famous practitioners was Bruce Lee.
Tai Chi
Tai Chi is an internal martial art which incorporates Yin and Yang, two equal elements that complement each other and the five element theory. The movements are soft, gentle, and relaxed while still managing to remain strong and steady. Tai Chi forms have many defensive applications that use soft movements to defeat hard movements.
The study of Tai chi primarily involves three aspects: health, meditation, and martial arts. Tai Chi's health training concentrates on relieving the physical stress on the body and mind. It can help lower blood pressure and improve or cure many chronic illnesses. Tai Chi's meditation training concentrates on teaching you to have a clear and peaceful mind while still being aware of your surroundings this can help with reducing stress and maintaining homeostasis.
Tai Chi's martial art training concentrates on internal power and redirecting the opposing force for self-defense. The applications are challenging and take a lot of time and practice to be able to use them correctly. At Tianmeng, the three most popular styles of Tai Chi; Yang, Chen, and Wu are taught.
During your stay, you will begin with learning Tai Chi basics and a short Tai Chi fist form. When you have become proficient in these movements, you will move onto more complex fist forms and later learn other sword and weapon forms.
While you are practicing Tai Chi you should try to keep a clear mind, let your breathing come naturally from your belly, and keep your movements steady and continual in a fluid motion. Remember to stay relaxed and make sure that your upper body and lower body are always working together. -San Da %Sanda or Chinese kickboxing is a fast-paced combat system which trains and develops self-defense and fighting skills. It is made up of four major areas, kicking, punching, grappling, and takedowns. It is not normally considered a style itself rather as one of the two components of Chinese martial arts training and is often taught alongside traditional Chinese styles.
Sanda was originally created to train Chinese soldiers in hand to hand combat. Over the years, Sanda has been adapted for modern soldiers and has become the major combat sport in China. Sanda's techniques, theory, and training methods are derived from traditional martial art styles. %During your stay at Tianmeng, beginners will be taught punching, kicking, drills, and fighting combinations. After you have mastered these you will be taught more advanced techniques such as takedowns and sparring. Throughout, you will be taught to have more control over your body and mind.
Qi Gong
Qi Gong translates to "life energy". Qi Gong is split into two parts, the internal part also known as soft Qi Gong and the external part also known as hard Qi Gong. Both involve three aspects, breathing, posture (moving or still), and mental focus. When external and internal Qi Gong are used together, they can assist masters to achieve unbelievable things like balancing on sharp ends of spears or breaking marble with only a finger. %Internal or soft Qi Gong is practiced to improve your Qi, which is believed to make you healthier and energize your body and mind. Some of the health benefits these forms provide are the improvement of your blood circulation, organ cleansing, bone marrow cleansing, and generally helping to prevent sickness and promote life longevity. %External or hard Qi Gong is practiced to physically strengthen the body and help condition the bones. In result, this helps in preparing your body for fights and withstanding force. You can condition every part of your body, hands, arms, head, legs, fingertips, etc. Some exercises used to achieve this are headstands, handstands on your fingertips, slapping your skin, which can also help with circulation, and be hit or kicked all over your body among many more techniques. It is also believed that this routine helps you to be more immune to sickness as through conditioning you hit many acupuncture points.
Ba Gua
Ba Gua Zhang is a combination of attack and defensive moves while incorporating Neigong or internal Kung Fu. It uses palms instead of fists for an attack. The main characteristics are strikes, joint locking, throws, and distinctly evasive circular footwork.
The evasive circular footwork in Ba Gua is one of its most distinctive characteristics and a very important aspect. It is used to confuse an opponent and is effective in helping fight several attackers. The custom of practicing Bagua Zhang is valuing strong spirit, courage, and personal loyalty. Weapons used in Ba Gua Zhang are mostly very distinctive being easily concealed, such as the crescent-shaped deer horn knives and scholar pens or extremely large, such as the Ba Gua sword and Ba Gua broadsword.
Ba Ji
Ba Ji is a powerful yet simple martial art that attacks from angles the opponent cannot see. Traditional Ba Ji is about hitting your opponent where you are most afraid of being hit. Their stances are narrow while remaining low, a factor which allows them to pace, change their footing, and let bursts of power out. Closing in, striking, shoving, checking, bashing, jolting, charging, striking, and grappling are all fundamentals of Ba Ji. %Baji helps to improve reflexes, stamina, balance, body strength, awareness of your surroundings, and much more. Tianmeng is proud to offer Ba Ji as one of the disciplines at the academy.
Xing Yi
Xing Yi is one of the three famous Nei Jia Quan or internal Kung Fu in China. It emphasizes internal and external integration. Xing Yi begins with intent and ends with form. It requires an unobstructed flow of blood and Qi and adherence to forms and principles. %In Xing Yi, the body should always be in a relaxed state but still ready to spring into action, contracting the body when releasing power. Striking, power, and speed should be focused in unison to produce penetrative power. The main stances and training methods of Xing Yi are the San Ti Shi or the three body alignment, coordinating unity. The elbows must follow the knees, the hands the feet, and the shoulders the hips.
Wu Dang
Wu Dang Kung Fu follows Taoist teachings, which believe in the preservation of life and living harmoniously with nature. During your stay at Tianmeng, beginners will be taught the basics of Wu Dang. Afterward, you will learn many fist forms and when you are more experienced, you can move on to weapon forms. The stances and steps are close to the floor, using the steps to trace the outline of a snake. It consists of focusing on using your mind clear to stay balanced and centered and taking or redirecting the opponents power to use it against them.
