WHY STUDY AN ORTHODOX STYLE
We are in the internet era, and people have become accustomed to rapid courses that leave very little to the practitioner.
Hundreds of gyms offer Kungfu, Taijiquan, and Qigong courses, most of which are interpreted by poorly trained “Teachers” who often have studied for a few years with a master or worse, have occasionally attended seminars of a few hours, or even learned from books and YouTube.
Orthodox teaching methods, with a TRUE Master, include methods of nèigōng, conditioning, training in the 9 ways, testing the 4 methods, the 4 distances, the 6 directions, the 2 emitted sounds, etc.
Our Association offers a study method based on the TRUE orthodox “way”, which gives the TRUE knowledge of theoretical principles, so deeply that we can integrate them into our practice, achieving the skills necessary for real effectiveness.
