Taiji Quan
The subject of these workshops will be that of the Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan).
The Taijiquan taught in LNG Daoist arts is from the Zhen Manquin lineage of the Yang family branch of practice as taught by Huang Xing Xian. Unfortunately, in these modern times the vast majority of Tai chi and indeed most Asian internal systems have been watered down, due partially to the fact that simplified methods were devised in China in order to keep the general population in good health and also bad transmission of information from East to West. The Taijiquan of Lotus Nei Gong lies at the cutting edge of global understanding of the phenomena that is authentic classical Taijiquan
On these courses Paul will teach all students in attendance the internal principles necessary in order to develop their personal study into a truly internal art. In a systematic way he will teach the simple but elusive principles of:
sung ( the ever deepening release of tension in the human body )
ting ( the ability to listen with our mind to the movement of our internal energy)
the correct development of our connective tissues (the huang).
Through various exercises such as;• The Wu Song Shen Fa (5 loosening exercises),
- • The Ba Men (eight gates)
- • The 37 form of Huang Xing Xian,
- Pushing hands drills
Students will over time develop the elusive skills around the Jins of Taijiquan.

Nei Gong Introduction/Level 1
Nei Gong is a transformative system of alchemy energy work. It works with body, mind and breath using various tools such as;
- Daoyins (to open and to lead) in order to purge toxins from both the body and energy system.
- Qi Gong (energy work) in order to smooth and regulate the channels
- Standing postures in order to form the basis for all movement through the Nei Gong process,
On these courses Paul will gently introduce new students and also the more experienced to the Nei Gong practise required to develop the lower Dan Tien and direct the Qi correctly around the body. The quality of Qi is extremely important for Nei Gong practise. It has to be healthy, functioning well and circulating in the correct manner. Dan Tian involvement is extremely important as this is the vehicle to drive the Qi around the body in the early stages of Nei Gong practise.
As these courses will involve the early stages of awakening the lower Dantien the minimum age for attendees is 18 years. Beyond this restriction all students regardless of experience are welcome to attend these courses
