The instructor, Mark Peters, originally learn the sets from his teacher Master Wu Chiang Hsing in Batu Pahat, Malaysia.

Tai Chi-Chi Kung, (Shibashi) is a series of energy enhancing exercises that co-ordinate movement with breathing and concentration. They are beneficial for people of any age, in China it is practised in the parks, where the young and elderly practise and enjoy spending time together.

Loosely based on Tai Chi Chuan it was developed by Professor Lin Hou-Sheng in 1979. Professor Lin is a renowned Qigong Master, scientist and Master Healer. He recognised the health benefits of Tai Chi Chuan and developed eighteen exercises that are easy to learn and practise. This offers many of the benefits of Tai Chi but has the advantage that it can be learned in a relatively short time.
The 18 Exercises of Tai Chi Qigong (Chi Kung) Shibashi has become one of the most popular systems of Chi Kung and is now practised in many countries around the world. Sadly due to the apparent simplicity of the system, many people learn the external movements and then feel they are able to teach others, without understanding that the true benefits to be gained from this system are a result of developing the internal principles of Tai Chi Chuan.

What appears flowing and effortless on the outside is a result of cultivating deep relaxation on the inside, we can learn to move in a way that unifies the whole of the system in a relaxed, focused and mindful way.

Unlike most forms of exercise that work on the larger muscle groups and can often subject the body to stress, Tai Chi-Chi Kung movements encourage the stretching and stimulation of the smaller muscles and ligaments. The gentle stretching and releasing of the movements, combined with deep, relaxed breathing encourage tensions held deep in the body's tissues to soften and release.

Being mindful of the way we breathe and move, less of what we do becomes an unconscious reaction, this allows us to remain calm and centred, and in full control of all we do in life.

What Will I learn?
