Shaolin Arts

Originally from ancient China, the Shaolin Arts – Cosmos Chi Kung (or qigong), Kung Fu, Tai Chi Chuan and Zen – are a holistic combination of techniques, skills and philosophies that have been developed and refined over centuries of use. For centuries, practitioners of these arts have enjoyed good health, vitality and a relaxed and clear mind.

Energyworks Academy offers courses in Shaolin Chi Kung and Kung Fu. Students who practise these arts can expect real, tangible and definite benefits in their lives.

Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung is the art of regulating one’s own energy. The smooth physical movements and the free flow of energy, performed with a relaxed mind deliver good health, vitality and mental clarity. Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung is of a high level, which means that the results are obtained quickly, tangibly and in an extremely relevant manner. Somebody who practices regularly (for example 15 minutes a day), would notice rapid improvement in their health, concentration, energy levels and attitude towards life.

Shaolin Kung Fu is, like Shaolin Chi Kung, an internal art. The same results can be expected as with Chi Kung, and more. Kung Fu is a martial art and as such focussed on the effectiveness to defend oneself. You will feel yourself ‘fit’, vital, mentally clear and you will learn to stay relaxed and act decisively under all circumstances.

The application of the learned skills start literally from the moment when you get on to your bike to go home. The goal of the Shaolin arts is to enrich your life in all aspects. Curious how it works? Please join one of our Chi Kung beginners classes and expierence what Chi Kung can do for you.
