Lotus Nei Gong

Lotus Nei Gong approaches the study of the Internal Arts in a systematic manner that enables students to progress steadily and correctly in whatever system they choose to pursue. Rather than being ‘limiting’ this enables a solid foundation in the basics to be built over the years so that the practitioner has all of the tools they need to fully express themselves through the Internal Arts and so reach the deeper aspects of Martial Arts training.

Teaching

Teaching is ideally provided through regular weekly classes. These classes are ongoing rather than being organized into 10 week blocks as is the case with the vast majority of Taiji and Qi Gong classes. Classes have to be ongoing as everybody learns at different speeds and it is ridiculous to think that any subject can be learnt in a set period of time. The Internal Arts are one type of Chinese Gong Fu and as such require much effort, time and practice to perfect.

Students

Be warned that Lotus Nei Gong is a traditional organization in its approach to the Internal Arts and as such the training is sometimes arduous, tiring and challenging on both a physical and psychological level. Anybody of any age is welcome to come along but do expect to be pushed in order to realise your full potential.

If you have any health issues or are unsure of your ability to participate then please speak to the teacher of the class first, they will take this into account and ease you gradually into the class. For this they will use Qi Gong exercises which will revitalize you and take your health and energy levels to the required level.

The Entire System

Lotus Nei Gong teaches each of the Internal Arts in their entirety and so they have not been watered down in any way. Many of the teachings may well seem strange to students who have trained elsewhere. This is largely due to the fact that the teachings are taken largely from Taoist sources rather than Buddhist as is the case for the vast majority of Internal Arts in the West. Consequently there are various differences in approach and content.
