Seeing a ton of things on instagram and YouTube that look cool until you look at some details and see how ineffective they'd actually be. People are posting things to get people to try stuff people don't commonly do and show "different" content but so many of them they are letting go of the actual controls that set up the techniques...really bad Jiu Jitsu...beware of the source of a lot of the stuff you see out there...

Tonight at 7PM after our 6PM Tai Chi class-boxing, dirty boxing positioning and clinch work...these positions need to be ingrained into muscle memory. Training tonight will be No Gi...we will work on these positions again and again. Sick stuff, this is like standing wrestling with striking and setup positions for all takedowns as well as throws. It's an area of martial arts few people understand and a huge advantage to those that do. Our school teaches to dominate from this area of fighting...Let's go!

Qigong… 'Zhan Zhuang' (Standing like a tree)

Zhan Zhuang is the Qigong system with the longest tradition which can be traced back over three thousand years. It is the foundation of all Qigong styles and is characterized by its great effectiveness and efficiency.

Zhan Zhuang is pronounced "Jan Jong" and best translated as Standing Like A Tree.

Training in Zhan Zhuang… for most people is a complete surprise in the beginning… as there are no recognizable external movements, although it is a highly energetic exercise system.

In contrast to many other methods, Zhan Zhuang develops our internal energy in a very efficient way… instead of consuming it.
Zhan Zhuang Qigong is practiced in well-balanced standing positions which increase the flow of energy and build up internal strength.

The Zhan Zhuang system is based on a unique combination of relaxation and exertion which stimulates, cleanses and massages the whole body.

Because of it’s effectiveness in raising our energy levels… Zhan Zhuang is often used as basic training for martial arts.

For a long time, Zhan Zhuang Qigong has been a well kept secret and it is only since the mid 1940s that Zhan Zhuang has been taught and discussed publicly.

In Europe… Master Lam Kam Chuen introduced this unique Qigong system in 1987… and is also the author of the first book on Zhan Zhuang in the West.

Through the practice of Zhan Zhuang Qigong we are able to take advantage of our whole potential… physically, mentally and spiritually… without becoming exhausted. This is achieved in a completely natural way without the need for struggling with ourselves.
***

When you stand, you are like a tree.
You are growing from within.
Your feet, like roots, draw power from the earth.
Your body, like the trunk, is perfectly aligned.
You are unmoving, strong.
Your head is open to the heavens like the crown of the tree.
You rest calmly, the universe within your mind.

~Master Lam Kam Chuen~
