On Saturday July 30 the Tai Mantis Kung-fu school had it’s Forest Falls hike and picnic. The weather was nice even with the light on again, off again thunder showers. The water was high from the winter snow and Nature was at it’s best.

Have you ever notice you seem to be more forgetful when you are stressed? Stress causes the brain to release hormones to deal with the threat. The hormone cortisol does damage to the hippocampus, impairing the ability to remember. Learn more from our lectures in, Stress and Your Body.

Now for over 16 years as the Inland Empire’s only Authentic Traditional Chinese Kung-fu School.

These authentic, traditional kung-fu schools have always been rare and can be considered as a lucky find for those that find themselves close to one.  Others can only be sadden to find that they don’t even have one in their state. Over 1500 years of tradition and Chinese culture in learning everything from feng shui, Lion dance and Traditional Chinese medicine to 18 classical weapons and the I Ching.  

Now with our lectures, as Shaolin once was, we are a Institute of higher learning.

It is the discipline of mind and body that brings us in harmony with the Universe, that gives rise to the spirit and makes glorious this human experience.

The hike this weekend at Deep Creek by Lake Arrowhead was vigorating and peaceful. To meditate in nature is to draw upon one of the strongest forms of Qi. Doing Qigong in nature is like stepping out into the Sun for vitamin D. The Chinese actually have a Qigong called, Zhan Zhuang which means standing like a tree. Sometimes done right by a tall tree to absorb the tree’s energy. Nature, love it, embrace it, and to take care of it is to take care of humanity.
