WU CHI KUNG FU - Internal Kung Fu for Self-Defence, Health & Personal Development
Classical Chinese Philosophy, Contemporary Expression
Wu Chi Kung Fu
Wu Chi Kung Fu draws from the older Chinese understanding of Kung Fu as the cultivation of skill, knowledge, character and practical ability through study and practice. Rather than limiting Kung Fu to combat, this broader understanding recognises the development of the individual through physical practice, health, knowledge, creativity, discipline, philosophy and the practical skills of life.
Wu Chi Kung Fu is AIMA's complete Kung Fu system, rooted in classical Chinese philosophical concepts including Wu Chi, Yin-Yang, Wu Hsing and Pa Kua, and guided by practical principles of the Dao such as Wu Wei, harmony, balance, non-forcing, adaptation and natural movement.
Wu Chi Kung Fu encompasses three complementary Wu Chi Arts:
Wu Chi Combative Arts | Wu Chi Health Arts | Wu Chi Personal Development Arts
Wu Chi Combative Arts are expressed through Wu Chi Chuan — the Wu Chi Fist, or Wu Chi Combative Art and Internal Martial Art.
Wu Chi Health Arts are expressed through Wu Chi Tai Chi and related internal health practices, developing health, balance, vitality, body awareness and internal development.
Wu Chi Personal Development Arts extend the principles of Wu Chi into personal growth, awareness, discipline, understanding, leadership and the development of the individual.
