Sunday, 28 June 2009 00:00 Dianne Jones

You are cordially invited to the Second Annual International Sin Tien Wu Chi Qi Gong and Original Yang Tai Chi Association spring retreat.  This three day intensive is by invitation only and for those who have practiced Sin Tien Wu Chi Qi Gong or Original Yang (aka Guang Ping) Tai Chi Chuan.  The curriculum for this three day event will include many aspects of the Sin Tien system as passed down from Taoist Master Loui Jing-Yun as well as the Original Yang system as passed down by Master Kuo Lien-Ying.  And to further enhance our internal depth, Grandmaster Chin will introduce us to the Hop Gar Kung Fu system as the art of Hop Gar was passed on to him by Master Ng Yim Ming.

The event will take place in rural North Carolina at Grandmaster David Chin’s school and home.  The price of the three day weekend is $300.00.  This price includes the seminar, two meals per day, and lodging.  Participants who need to fly in will be picked up and dropped off at the airport.  Those flying should plan to fly into Fayetteville Airport and not Raleigh Durham.  Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day.  Please plan on paying separately for evening meals out.  Some of you may have special dietary needs (vegan, allergies, etc.).  Please give us your details in the space provided in the registration form so that we may accommodate you in our menu planning.  Lodging will be in the school – an air conditioned 40x60 steel building with shower and bathroom facility. Students, please refer to the Cargo List for suggested gear. There are also local hotels that people may choose to stay in.  

This will be another tremendous opportunity to work with peers from across the country practicing these two incredible systems as well as to gain great insight from Grandmaster Chin.  

This Spring’s training focus will be:

  • Mok Yee Pai Gong - proper training and integration to tai chi
  • Basics of Hop Gar – for greater understanding of the tai chi                                    
  • Kung fu is like a mirror - learning hop gar will shine back and give you a new understanding of your tai chi
  • Posture corrections in forms and posting – details
  • Fire and Wind tai chi 
  • Sin Tien System, Level 2 - Li Gong

 

If you have not had the opportunity to train with G.M. Chin in this way, it will be a beautiful eye opener. 

For those of you who have, you know the fire. 

              

RSVP REQUESTED BY MARCH 30

The International Sin Tien Wu Chi Qi Gong & Original Yang Tai Chi Association

The International Sin Tien Wu Chi Qi Gong & Original Yang Tai Chi Association (ISOYA) is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the teachings of Grandmaster David Chin.  Its mission is to reach out and educate the public on both the value and health benefits of Original Yang (aka Guang Ping) Tai Chi and Qi Gong.

Tai Chi is renowned for its health benefits as a low-impact, weight-bearing form of exercise.  The Mayo Clinic states that “tai chi uses gentle flowing movements to reduce the stress of today's busy lifestyles and improve health.”

Health Benefits of Tai Chi

Tai Chi health benefits include improved overall physical condition, as well as increased muscle strength, coordination, balance, and flexibility.  Tai Chi’s health benefits are a central reason why it continues to grow in popularity, especially with senior practitioners. 

Ongoing studies by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are still revealing new health benefits of Tai Chi, and how it helps for a variety of diseases and conditions through its slow, low-impact exercise. 2

The Original Yang system taught by Grandmaster Chin is the system passed down by Master Kuo Lien-Ying.

Health Benefits of Qi Gong

Sin Tien Wuji Qi Gong promotes health by circulating the energy throughout the body.

Recent research has revealed numerous health benefits from Qi Gong.  Researchers from the University of California, Irvine, have confirmed and extended studies on how Qi Gong is effective in refreshing and relaxing the mind and body. 1

The Sin Tien system taught by Grandmaster Chin is the system passed down by Master Loui Jing-Yun.
