**** Training to suit your area of interest ****

You can choose to attend a typical three hour training session as though it were one long class, however, training will be broken up into distinct hourly sessions with the focus of each hour being on either qigong, taijiquan, baguazhang, combat drills and applications, or weaponry, as per the scheduled timetable.

The purpose of this is so you could choose to train only in the 'healing aspects' of the art (eg. Qigong and forms), or the 'self-defence aspects' (eg combat drills and applications). Having said that, please realise that the internal arts are a complete package, and one part is empty without the other.

**** Learn as fast, or as slowly, as you like ****

You set the pace for your own learning. I have some students that even after years enjoy going over and over the basic forms. Others have the inclination and ability to absorb new information quickly, which is perfectly acceptable, and the tools are available to do this..

I personally like to present a range of training methods and drills in class, while giving plenty of attention to the foundation forms as well. It is not uncommon to feel initially overwhelmed and overloaded with too much information! However, please realise that this is a cumulative, circular kind of learning, in which time and repetition are the great teachers.

**** Outdoor Training *****

Whenever possible, we will train outdoors. Dress appropriate to the weather!

In order to better commune with nature, and enhance our qi, the fresh air and sunshine of outdoor training is King. It is much easier to attune to the natural cycles of the earth when training outdoors. Most classes are timed to be held during sunrise and sunset, as these are the best times for training.

Realising that some people may not have a constitution robust enough to manage outdoor training in all conditions, I run an indoor class on Friday mornings which is more gentle in nature, and also try to arrange an indoor alternative to use for all classes in the case of extreme inclement weather.

**** 'No Nonsense' Self-Defence ****

We practice straightforward, realistic 'non-techniques' and combat drills, which teach reflexive counter-offensive survival based fighting.

This is not a sport. There is no room for points, rules, scoring, sparring, or tap-outs.

The Internal Martial Arts are ruthless and efficient - almost every movement assumes worst case scenario attacks by bigger, stronger, more skilled and more numerous opponents - in turn, we aim for dim mak (death-point) strikes, to the point of overkill.
