Hsing-I Chuan is excellent for conditioning the body, the practise of its forms develops balance, coordination and strong muscles. The drilling, twisting, rising and falling actions of the techniques open and stretch the muscles and joints to their full range and encourage increased chi and blood flow which in turn benefits the health.

Hsing-I Chuan also benefits the organs and the cardiovascular system when using correct abdominal breathing. Abdominal breathing also strengthens the diaphragm and in turn moves and massages the organs from within. This massaging effect of the organs is also enhanced by the physical movements of the various Hsing-I forms.

Hsing-I Chuan helps connect the mind to the physical body during practise. Intention and sensitivity within the body are developed as it is mental thought that drives the initiation prior to movement.

Hsing-I Chuan can be practised in both an energetic or gentle manner. With this in mind people of all ages can practise and it can be adapted to all abilities. Certain techniques have special characteristics in developing a practitioner’s health and can aid specific ailments if practised correctly. The health benefits of different techniques will be discussed as appropriate throughout this seminar.

In this seminar you will learn the five elements forms of metal, water, wood, fire and earth and their use in both self-defence and for improving the health.

The seminar will be five days, three hours training per day. Each day it is planned to learn a new element and build on the previous days' work. This should be a fun seminar and is suitable for men and women and people of all abilities.
