PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE ORDERING AS SPACE IS LIMITED

NOTE: This event is for those residing in the Greater Tucson Area.

Save the date for a rare opportunity to learn authentic 'Inner Door' Taoist 'Jibengong', or 'Body-Skills' that will help cultivate the intrinsic energy, qi (chi) of your body.

Many of the “higher-level” drills in the Internal Arts are kept secret and "inner-door", because they train the specific "body-skills" that are the secret to the arts success (ie. martial effectiveness). The “Spiral Series” are an important and essential aspect of Jibengong.

The practice is for anyone with a good fitness level.

Anyone who practices these exercises for the traditional 100 days can expect to experience profound changes in the quality of their body-movement.

Kalama Sutta (Kalama Sutra)

Do not simply believe what you hear just because you have heard it for a long time.
Do no follow tradition blindly merely because it has been practiced that way for many generations.
Do not be quick to listen to rumors.
Do not confirm anything just because it agrees with your scriptures.
Do not foolishly make assumptions.
Do not abruptly draw conclusions by what you see and hear.
Do not be fooled by outward appearances.
Do not hold on tightly to any view or idea just because you are comfortable with it.
Do not accept as fact anything that you yourself find to be illogical.
Do not be convinced of anything out of respect and deference to your spiritual teachers.

You should go beyond opinion and belief. You can rightly reject anything which when accepted, practiced and perfected leads to more aversion, more craving and more delusion. They are not beneficial and are to be avoided. Conversely, you can rightly accept anything which when accepted and practiced leads to unconditional love, contentment and wisdom. These things allow you time and space to develop a happy and peaceful mind. This should be your criteria on what is and what is not the truth; on what should be and what should not be the spiritual practice.
