What is Wu Ch’uan Chi Tao Gung Fu? The style primarily taught is the famed 8 Animal System, called Chi-Tao Gung-Fu (Chi-Tao T'iao Ho Ch'uan Tao). Chi Tao is the name of a Gung-Fu art which was modernized and refined by the late Grandmaster Ho. This system teaches one to fight like a Tiger, Leopard, Panther, Crane, Praying Mantis, Eagle, Black Cobra, and Wild Boar. These are not like the Shaolin Martial arts (Buddhist System) but are the Taoist art (natural in nature).Our 'Flowing Well™' Method
The method that we teach, involves balancing the healing aspects of both Tai Chi (the Yang set) and Qigong (the Yin Set). Our classes begin by the offering of Ginger or Tea to encourage 'Qi Flow' (not required). Then we begin the training by moving through one of the traditional Qigong sets as taught by our Masters. After the conclusion of the Qigong exercise sets, we will then begin the basic Tai Chi form from either the Simplified, Wudang, or Chen styles. At the conclusion of the form set, the session will conclude with supervised traditional breathing exercises to cap off the development from the class.

The Mandarin term "T'ai Chi Ch'uan" translates as "Supreme Ultimate Boxing" or "Boundless Fist". T'ai Chi training involves learning solo routines, known as forms, and two person routines, known as pushing hands, as well as acupressure-related manipulations taught by traditional schools.
