T'ai Chi Ch'uan
Chief Instructor: George Masone
 T'ai Chi
Ch'uan
A slow moving well -
paced system of exercise suitable for any age group. The smooth flow
of movements relaxes the mind while simulating various energy
systems of the body, i.e, the circulatory, immunological and
neurological systems. One is shown how to coordinate breath and
movement through a continuous choreographed sequence known as ‘The
Form’. ‘The Form’, likened to moving meditation, is non strenuous in
nature, yet strengthens muscles, fascia, ligaments and bones without
the normal potential for injury inherent in so many other exercise
regimens. The development of leg strength and balance, coupled with
proper skeletal alignment, not only help retard the aging process,
but make T’ai Chi Ch’uan a viable therapeutic modality.

Qi Gong (Chi Kung)
Superior Movement routines
aimed at maintaining health and strengthening the immunological system.
Qigong exercise is designed to detoxify and stimulate healing. It is a
wonderful compliment to T’ai Chi Ch’uan yet stands on it’s own as a
viable breathing/movement regimen. It is often use in conjunction with
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and is steadily becoming recognized
as an alternative healing modality.
Certain types of Qigong
training can be used while studying martial arts in order to desensitize
one’s body to strikes.
Kung Fu (Wu Shu)
The Translation for the
term ‘Kung Fu’ is skill and hard work over time. Wu Shu translates
as “martial skills” or “war arts”. Martial arts are a path of
self-development as well as self-defense. The forms are strenuous,
but adaptable for different age groups. The exercises strengthen the
cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. Flexibility, focus,
stamina and coordination are but a few of the benefits derived from
this practice. Students are also exposed to sparing and weapons
training.

Self Defense
“To equal an attack with a
superior response, violence is not necessarily the best option”
This course of study stresses
awareness, technique, confidence and common sense. A prudent and
appropriate response to a physical assault is the best defense. Various
scenarios and situations are explored using protective equipment.
Techniques are adaptable to both strength and size differences. We
follow Bruce Lee’s idea of “taking what is useful” from various martial
arts. This course is recommended for honest people, concerned with
protecting themselves and their loved ones.
