Longevity martial arts are traditional movement practices that focus on long-term health, vitality, and resilience rather than competition or fighting. They combine gentle physical training, breath awareness, coordination, and mental focus to support healthy aging and overall well-being.

Qigong and Tai Chi support longevity by improving mobility, balance, circulation, stress regulation, and nervous system health. Regular practice can help maintain joint health, reduce chronic tension, support better sleep, and enhance mental clarity.

Qigong focuses primarily on simple, repetitive movements, breathing techniques, and internal awareness. Tai Chi (Taijiquan) consists of flowing movement sequences that integrate balance, coordination, and mindfulness. Both aim to cultivate energy, stability, and long-term health.

Our courses include Tai Chi principles and forms inspired by Shaolin-based Taiji and Meihua Quan influences, emphasizing functional movement, structure, and internal strength rather than performance or competition.

Our approach is health- and psychology-informed. While traditional practices have philosophical roots, the focus of our courses is practical: movement quality, nervous system regulation, and everyday well-being. That being said, there will be some theoretical elements like TCM (traditional Chinese medicine), too.
