2025: Chinese New Year of the Wood Snake
"Snake Coils its Body"
These two images capture the essence of the Chinese New Year of the Wood Snake. The shape of the snake can be seen in both the application and the calligraphy. The snake pictograph represents a Positive Wish for the New Year and that challenges be met with "wisdom" and "patience". The wood element fosters balance, stability, and a connection with nature. In martial arts, it can be interpreted as: "May your movements and techniques be like a snake patient, perplexing, and unpredictable. While the approach of Xingyiquan is often more linear, and seemingly strike oriented, it also uses small, tight angles and more subtle circular energy to capture and twist the opponent's center as seen in this application of a "spiraling neck manipulation." Gong Xi Fa Cai! All the Best in 2025!

Our Chi Kung Duo>
We have combined two of our best stand-alone Chi Kung instructional videos to create the Chi Kung Duo (Ancient vs. Modern). The Swimming Dragon Chi Kung, is thought to have originated with the Yellow Emperor, and, with one look at its shapes and simplicity of movements (based on the Five Elemental Phases) it's easy to conclude that this may very likely be something special that has survived the ages-not to mention the fact that some people swear by the wonders it does for their spine and posture. The Soaring Crane Chi Kung was created by Zhao Jin Xiang in the 1970s, and is one of the most popular forms of Chi Kung worldwide. With its specific focus on therapeutic points, patience, and stillness in movement, it rivals the chi cultivation sets of the ancients. The unique "sixth section" (or, Advanced Meditation) is a marvel amongst any and all Chi Kung practices. NEW to this series is the "seventh section" or Walking Methods. This completes the series and supports comprehensive instruction for students and viewers. While we don't advocate practicing two types of Chi Kung at the same time, these two popular and useful forms of Chi Kung practice, that we have combined in the "Chi Kung Duo" are certainly worth utilizing to compare, contrast, and ultimately cultivate.
