Our Mission
We strive to provide each student with a program tailored to suit his or her needs. We strive to present the highest quality instruction in Chinese and Tibetan methods listed in here. Our instructors are dedicated to help you separate myth and pseudo-science from reality in the often confusing world of traditional Chinese and Tibetan health, Qigong and martial arts.
We believe that quality and individual attention is more conducive to learning. Those of us who practice and teach the Li family internal martial and healing arts are only interested in serious students who are self-motivated to learn in class and then train on their own time at home. If you want to study Chinese martial arts for a casual hobby or to win a shiny trophy in a tournament this may not be the school for you.
