Classes
What We Work On
These are not fitness classes. They are not drop-in sessions. Each is a layer of a complete system, taught in sequence, building on the one before it. You train perception, structure, regulation, confidence, and cognitive resilience — the five capacities that make a human whole.
The difference between knowledge and embodiment is what we work on.
I. Breath and Internal Regulation
Marrow washing and qigong
The foundation. Breath, sound, and intention protocols that clear neurological noise and bring the autonomic nervous system under voluntary control. This is where regulation begins — the mind's role as the primary governor of the system. A body that cannot regulate itself under pressure cannot do anything else well either.
II. Structure Through Movement
Taiji and Baguazhang
Slow-motion frames used as a diagnostic for structural integrity — not as meditation, not as relaxation, but as a high-resolution tool for finding and eliminating physical friction. The body learns to organize itself in three-dimensional space through rotational and spiral patterns that reflect how it actually works. Nothing in human articulation follows a straight line.
III. Power and Conditioning
Imperial Longfist — Chaquan
High-tension conditioning through the ballistic long-flow movements of the Cha/Hua system. This builds the cardiovascular engine, the reach, and the explosive whole-body power that complements the internal arts. It is where structure meets velocity — and where you discover whether your structure holds under demand.
IV. The Complete System
Longfist, Baguazhang, and Taiji
The full integration of all three arts — form, function, and the relationship between them. This is the multi-year progression where the separate layers become one system in the body. The foundation runs six months. What follows continues for years. There is no shortcut and no abbreviated path.
V. Applied Combat
Sanda and free fighting
The pressure test. Everything trained in isolation gets tested under contact. This is not sport fighting — it is where the mechanics either hold or fail, and where cognitive resilience is actually developed. Combat training is essential, not optional. Without it, the rest of the system remains theoretical.
How to Begin
Classes are small — three to five students at most. You work directly with me. Admission requires an application and a conversation. There is no online enrollment, no drop-in, no module to complete first.
This serves people committed to longevity, structural strength, health, and personal safety. Safety is not the entry point, but it is one of the strong results. When your body is whole and your nervous system regulated, you carry yourself in a way that prevents most conflicts before they start. If your goal is fitness or sport, that's welcome, but only within the context of the complete program — not as a standalone track.
Classes are currently held in Surrey, BC.
