Health & Longevity

Thu, 11/20/2008 - 4:43pm — Sloane DellOrto

We've named this class Health & Longevity because "Tai Chi, Qigong, Accupressure and other Great Stuff" just didn't have a great ring to it. :) And since T'ai Chi, Qigong and Accupressure all promote health and longevity ... well, you get the picture. This class is for the most part a combination of T'ai Chi Chuan and Medical Qigong. The class includes energy work, motion, meditation, balance work, pressure point (accupressure) information, and more to help you care for your body, mind and spirit. Many of the motions and exercises you learn in class can be incorporated into a home study that will help you stay healthy and strong for the rest of your life (which should be longer than if you don't practice!)Read more

The study of martial arts offers a multitude of benefits for adults. In addition to getting a great workout, students can expect to see a big impact on their ability to focus, and coordination and balance will be greatly improved. Martial arts have been shown to have a very positive impact on people experiencing PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), as well.Read more

Kids Kung Fu

Fri, 12/12/2008 - 2:40pm — Sloane DellOrto

Martial arts are great for kids. Study after study has proven that the discipline that children learn in class will carry with them into the rest of their lives. Kids who study kung fu are less aggressive and more self assured. Seem odd? It's really not, when you consider that most cruelty comes as an expression of fear. Our Kids Kung Fu classes teach discipline, respect, fitness and most importantly, focus - allowing the students to find a quiet place in their mind where they can settle down and find calm.Read more
