Warrior Spirit
Body-Mind Fitness
inner strength and balance
“At the centre of your being you have the answer;
you know who you are and you know what you want.”
― Lao Tzu (6th-century BC)
Warrior Spirit is my programme of developing vital life energy and mindful awareness through a powerful synthesis of martial arts forms and Qigong breathing and moving exercises. It is grounding and energising, releases stress and cultivates well-being on all levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Warrior Spirit includes flowing strikes and kicks integrated with deep breathing methods, strength postures and vocal expression. These techniques develop all-round fitness while improving flexibility and balance. We learn to focus our power and centre the mind, both in stillness and in action, for greater resilience and inner calm.
Warrior Spirit teaches how to deliver focus and power through economy of movement, using the body’s natural joint articulations and postures while moving from the Lower Dantian, Belly Centre. The way I teach supports smooth, rhythmic, fluid movement and expression of energy. We therefore do not get injured. In fact, the movements will strengthen and repair.
The rapid co-ordination of the moves, along with mind-centering techniques, develops a focused and agile mind which is excellent for keeping the mind toned and flexible. We also enjoy loud Ki-yup warrior shouts, and this both focuses and frees up physical, emotional and mental energy in a dynamic and liberating way.
Warrior Spirit suits all people who would like to increase their sense of aliveness and enjoy life with more vigour and balance. This fun and energising system improves self-confidence and develops fuller self-expression for living a joyful life. All are welcome to Warrior Spirit.
