Chi Kung Shaolin
Chi Kung is the ancient Chinese art of vital energy and Shaolin is the famous monastery where these arts were cultivated for many centuries, and where Kung Fu and Zen were also started.
It is a system of simple and effective exercises based on the unity of soft movements, breathing and awareness.
Chi Kung lightens up muscular and joint tensions and enables physical and mental relaxation and activates an armonious vital energy flow known "chi".
The first benefit from regular practice is being able to effectively control stress and anxiety in daily life, and to promote a global improvement in health, optimizing the functionality of various organs and, consequently improving vitality and happiness.

Highly positive results have been seen for many years in several countries and show that Chi Kung is well suited to modern life and is a good practice to keep good health and develop intellectual capacity as well as the ability to concentrate, making the mind more clear and serene.
A 15 minute daily practice is sufficient to obtain good results, but it is important that it is done correctly, and with a certain regularity and consistency.

Tai Chi Chuan
|
|
The most reliable theory on the origin of Tai Chi Chuan goes back to the Taoist monk Zhan Sang Feng, who lived in the 13th century at the end of the Sung dinasty.
After his studies at the famous Shaolin monastery, where Chi Kung, Shaolin Kung Fu and Zen were originated, he continued his martial art training an his own spiritual cultivation in Wudang mountain Temple, one of the most important Taoist Temples in China.
One day in the mountain forest, he witnessed a fight between a snake and a crane. Neither of the two animals was able to prevail, but they were both very skilful and effective and the wild beauty of their performance deeply moved the young monk. He suddenly had the intuition to modify the rather hard Shaolin Kung Fu forms into a softer and more harmonious style which later became Tai Chi Chuan.
