A thousand years ago Daoist Master, martial arts and medical expert Zhang Sanfeng created what he believed was the ultimate form of self defence and natural health preservation. The system he designed would not only disrupt the harmony of chi (energy), by striking certain points at certain times of the day but also realised the therapeutic value of these same meridians and points.

We practice Master Huang’s Fujian White Crane which has a wave of expansion from the ground – ‘shooting arrow’ whereas taiji emphasises a wave of stretching and compression that precedes the wave of expansion – drawing the bow.
