All martial arts focus on different things, no single martial style can hope to be able to deal with every type of situation, every type of attack, every weapon, every set of circumstances and so on.

However, it’s also something that although most people have tried most of them have quickly given up on. It’s too hard they say. I just can’t empty…
The Rising Sun is the first of the true breathing exercises I teach to students. It is the first and most important of the ancient ‘5 Breaths of Tao’ Qigong set. The Rising Sun exercise can be done in many different ways. Each method trains something different inside you. The physical movement of each is almost identical. What changes is the way the breath is performed and most important of…
