Nei Gong Workshops

Taijiquan and Qigong workshops

Pushing Hands:

Pushing Hands is first and foremost an exercise in sefl-defense that is done in a playful manner. The Pushing Hands workshops focus on the Ting Jin (listening/feeling of intention) of the opponent. This is the 'secret' weapon that enables the weak to overcome the strong and makes it the most facinating part of Pushing Hands.

San Shou:

San shou is self-defense form that you do together with a partner. The San Shou workshops concentrate on different exercises designed to improve footwork, fa jin and sparring strategy .These workshops gives the Taiji pratictioner a chance to apply Taijiquan in self-defense situations. For more infomation (in Dutch only) concerning San Shou see 'Tai Chi San Shou' under Archives.

Qigong:

Qigong is an exercise system specifically for health maintenance that was created some 6000 years ago in China. The goal of Qigong is to improve one's health and to prevent sickness. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine is Qigong the most important exercise to keep our energy (Qi) in balance.

San Wei Qigong was created by Grand Master Yang Shao-Hou and is an excellent exercise that can create enormous health improvements in a short amount of time. ''San' means three and 'wei' means dimension. San Wei Qigong activates the positive energy in the body by the powers of concentration.

Students that experience San Wei Qigong comment on the immediate feedback they get when they practice it for the first time. There are no special requirements to participate in any of the Qigong workshops.

Fa Jin:

Fa Jin is one of the most important aspects of Taijiquan. The ability to apply Fa jin is the moment of truth for Taiji practitioners. According to the Taiji Classics, Fa jin must be as 'fast as an arrow leaving the bow'. At Nei Gong, students are taught step-by-step on how to develop Fa Jin.

The above descriptions are just a small example of the system that Grand Master Yang Shao-Hou has developed. The principles of Taiji form the basis for these workshops. These workshops are open to all individuals, regardless of their particular style or skill level.

Practicing Taijiquan has a positive effect on the body by releasing tension and increasing the body’s circulation capacity. During the seminars and workshops, Master Shi Dan-Qiu teaches the participants the basic principles of Taijiquan and how to apply them in their daily lives
One of the advantages of practicing Taijiquan is that the participants learn more effective ways to relax, which allows them to reach a deeper level of ‘inner peace’ in themselves. These teachings help to get a tighter grip on negative emotions, which in turn will result in less conflicts on the work floor and will provide the participants with a general sense of well being. This will result in more harmony and synergy at work.
Another point of interest is that practicing Taijiquan also helps to relieve modern aches and pains that accompany a desk job. RSI, burnout, tiredness and light depressions can be alleviated by practicing the basic postures and forms that Taijiquan offers. Taijiquan is and effective way to fight illness and to keep people happy, healthy and productive.
