Sun Style Tai Chi
Report
Grand Master Sun Lu Tang, the founder of Sun Style tai chi, combined the essence of tai chi, xing yi, and bagua to formulate the unique fighting style of Sun tai chi. The Sun style is considered one of the four major styles of tai chi and is widely practiced throughout China and also in America, where it is lesser known.
Wu Style Tai Chi
Report
Though the media often portrays Tai Chi as an 'ancient Chinese art, ' it is in reality a profoundly modern martial art, developed during the Chinese martial renaissance of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Put simply, there is nothing ancient about Tai Chi. Its postures, movements, and theories are products of a distinctly modern ethos: economy of movement, efficiency of application, and sophistication within seemingly simple techniques.
Hasayfu Hung Ga
Report
Hasayfu hung gar is an ancient southern style of Chinese martial arts, credited with originating in the four southern Chinese provinces of Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Yong'an. Through attentive observation, the primitive nature of its ancient concepts and methods of combat can be perceived and appreciated.
Forms and Weapons
Report
This is the first of the Hasayfu Hung Kuen sets, it will introduce you to the unique aspects of this uncommon school, such as its special fighting stance known as Yee Gee Kim Yeung Ma, and the powerful panther fist. The set also teaches the connection of power through total body movements, and also the ability to extend the power outward to the fingertips; using the forearms is a key striking technique within this set.
Testimonials
Report
Sifu Saleem offers a diverse curriculum tailored to the student depending on his/her individual goals and strengths. I had severe equilibrium issues stemming from a service connected disability when I began training approximately 16 months ago and my balance has since improved markedly. I highly recommend all of the school's programs, but am especially fond of the Sun Style Tai Chi and Hung Gar.
