themselves as well as their surroundings. Pa-Kua stresses personal development
and is most recognizable by its circular form of combat. It uses the opponent's
momentum against them, and thorough studies of Martial Art techniques add the
confidence that will greatly benefit any student.

techniques, and forms. Everything is taught in a progressive manner so that you
will be prepared for each step along the way by studying in class with your

You will gain the Confidence to lead the life you want with peace
by having the techniques and training from the Martial Art to overcome your
daily fears and anxiety. That means you have more energy to focus on the life
you wish to live and enjoy. The Chinese theory is that our body is a reflection
of our mind and vice versa. Thus, by stretching, improving coordination, and
increasing strength, you will benefit in many internal ways as well, including
the release of endorphins which is one of the many reasons you will feel better
after every class! Training of slow forms will improve harmony and growth of
internal and physical well being. Pa-Kua is a complete art which gives its
