PRIVATE LESSONS
Private lessons are $90 for one hour of instruction at my office in West Los Angeles.
For your first lesson I have a standing policy which I call my:
NO CHI, NO FEE, GUARANTEE
If you don’t feel the chi, you don’t pay. No questions asked. All you will have invested is one hour of your time.
In that first lesson you will be thoroughly coached in the principles and practice of the first two Nei Kung forms which will enable you to begin using them on your own right away. To ensure that you remember what you have been taught, I provide detailed diagram and instruction sheets of the forms to take with you as well as some excellent literature about the process of physical and mental transformation through Nei Kung as explained by Tai Chi Chuan Grand Master C.K. Chu.
Though class is the most common method of instruction, the optimum way to progress in Nei Kung, as with any esoteric discipline, is in a private lesson where the focus is entirely on you. This is how I learned from Master Chu when I assisted him in writing The Book of Nei Kung. Many students have commented that a single private lesson with me was worth a month of classes. The reasons for this are as follows.
The one on one format of a private lesson provides a venue for me to fully explain and demonstrate the core principles of this powerful system in a personalized way. It allows me to hone in on your individual body and guide you with precision in the more subtle aspects of the execution of the forms so as to achieve the maximum creation of chi. As a result, the overall effect of a private lesson is many times more intense than in a group situation.
Precision is the key word here, for Nei Kung does not require a great deal of physical effort or will power. Rather, what is needed is mental focus and fine motor control. The exact alignment of the skeletal frame in specific patterns of weight distribution coupled with deep diaphragmatic breathing is the secret to igniting the energy within. Armed with this knowledge, with a few weeks of instruction (if you decide to continue with more lessons) and consistent practice you can radically alter your entire energetic profile for the better and beyond.
INSTRUCTION TO FIT THE INDIVIDUAL
Private lessons are particularly helpful if you feel very out of shape or are recovering your health and need to progress back to vitality slowly at your own pace rather than trying to keep up with others who are not dealing with the same issues as you. Likewise, if you are in great shape and want to train for extreme power and endurance, I can take you to limits that I would not pursue in a regular class and that you have to experience to believe.
If you are a stressed out over-extended professional, Nei Kung is the answer to virtually all of your work out needs and more. Business and professional environments these days often seem like battlefields that leave people exhausted and tied up in knots. A spiral of dysfunction sets in where the ability to think clearly and act decisively becomes compromised.
To this end understand that Nei Kung is a martial art chi kung. Its original purpose was to condition a person mentally, energetically and physically to deal with one of the most stressful realities that one can face in life, namely, violence. In this arena Nei Kung has proven itself to be a source of time tested wisdom. It is a practical, down to earth, nuts and bolts system created by generations of authentic masters of the human body for optimum functioning and survival under the most trying of circumstances.
THAT EXTRA EDGE
The feeling of centered strength and calm that comes with Nei Kung practice must be experienced to be believed. Martial artists refer to this phenomenon as the “Golden Bell” where one feels impervious to attack, both physically and psychologically. The great Taoist sages take this concept one step further and characterize that way of life of inner serenity and self-control as, “Being in the eye of the hurricane.”
I have adapted the principles of Nei Kung so that they are accessible to the average person, allowing him or her to achieve a wide range of goals from the recovery of baseline vitality to extreme endurance training and everything else in between. Private instruction is customized to accommodate your body type and level of conditioning, to meet the demands of your individual lifestyle and to create a routine for you which is both doable and enjoyable.
For people on the go, one of the great advantages of Nei Kung is that there is no mandatory environment, indoors or out, no particular time of day, no special machines, accessories or clothing necessary to practice Nei Kung. All you need is air to breathe, a flat surface to stand on and knowledge of the forms.
A daily routine of Nei Kung practice will literally change the quality of your life in ways you can’t imagine. I invite you to go to Testimonials and read the words of my students who bear witness to the profound effect Nei Kung has had on them.
