Northumbrian TAO

Chinese movement arts from the Li family are taught in our classes. T’ai Chi Ch’uan means the Supreme Ultimate and is a complete martial and health art in itself.  The other martial arts in the system are: Feng Shou, Chi Shu and Shuai Jiao. Each of these arts has a focus on one particular aspect of the system, such as: sparring, grappling and locks and wrestling, respectively. However each is developed out of the T’ai Chi which encompasses them all.
The K’ai Men and Tao Yin are exercises both for health and to improve the individual’s ability to perform the movement arts.

T’ai Chi (T’ai Ji)

T'ai Chi is an adaptable system of movement working on posture, physiology and psychology in the body. It improves co-ordination and body movement whilst using 96% of all muscle groups of the body. It has been used for centuries to optimise health and well-being and is very adaptable for all age groups. This is due to its versatility and ability to tailor to the individual

K’ai Men and Tao Yin

These two types of Qi Gong exercise are the crown jewels of the Li-system. They generally promote health and well-being. They can also be selected to help individuals deal with a variety of particular issues. These can relate to health, mobility, fitness or calming the mind and spirit.

Feng Shou

Feng Shou (Hand of the Wind) is a system of Kung Fu. It is an internal form of Chinese martial arts being both dynamic and fluid. It utilizes kicks, punches, locks, throws, controls and grappling. It is suitable for both sexes, any age group and is very adaptable to competition in both light and full-contact sparring..

Philosophy behind the Li Family System

Within ancient Chinese culture, a significant step in achieving longevity was to survive attacks and battles. Various defensive martial arts evolved, which proved highly effective. Practitioners remained relatively soft and flexible. Moving like water or wind these internal martial arts can improve fitness, strength and promote good health.
