Discover My Wellness Formula: a holistic approach to health

Wu (Hao) Tai Chi, recognized as one of the five major styles in China, is a blend of martial arts and health practices, developed during the Qing Dynasty by Mr. Wu Yu-Xiang. Influenced by his scholarly background and studies in Confucianism, Taoism, and Sun Tze's Art of War. 

Wu Yu-Xiang integrated teachings from Chen Qing-Ping and Wang Zhong-Yue, forming the unique Wu (Hao) style. This style is characterized by simple yet profound and practical techniques, strict posture requirements, and a focus on controlling Qi (vital energy) with the mind. Its complete system includes various routines, weapons training, and classical Tai Chi theories.

Wu (Hao) Tai Chi's development owes much to the scholarly approach of its founders, who were selective in accepting students. Key figures in its propagation include Mr. Hao Wei-Zheng, who popularized the system, and his student Mr. Li Shen-Duan, who taught many in the Xintai area.

Today, Wu (Hao) Tai Chi is practiced worldwide, thanks to efforts by teachers like Mr. Jimmy Wong. Wong, a Grandmaster, has played a significant role in spreading Wu (Hao) Tai Chi globally, establishing the World Wu (Hao) Taijiquan Federation and offering online learning opportunities. This style, known for its purity and adherence to classical theory, continues to thrive both in China and internationally.

Qi Gong, a practice with a history of over 4,000 years, is a form of energy work that integrates physical postures, breathing techniques, and focused intention. It involves working with different types of energy including Celestial, Terrestrial, Nutritive, and Defensive, among others. 

Qi Gong is divided into two categories: 'Hard' for martial arts development and 'Soft' for therapeutic and longevity purposes. The practice enhances physical fitness, martial arts skills, health, and can even develop extraordinary abilities. Qi Gong is not just physical exercise; it also includes mental and emotional development, emphasizing a holistic approach to well-being.

Qi Gong practice involves a series of movements and breathing techniques that focus on cultivating and balancing Qi, the life energy within the body. 

A typical session includes gentle exercises that stretch and strengthen the body, enhance blood circulation, and promote relaxation. The practice also incorporates meditative elements, encouraging mindfulness and a deep connection with one's internal energy.
