The UCB Program consists of solo and partner exercises that develop your awareness & concentration. If you have the awareness, you can get the feel for a movement. If you have the feel and can concentrate, you can become more natural. Martial skill grows from this awareness. This practice can affect permanent change in one's condition. Our curriculum is based on Taiji (Tai Chi) Principles, drawing from both Taoist & Chan (Zen) Buddhist techniques. Practice includes:

• I Liq Chuan - The Martial Art of Awareness - Core of the UCB Program
• NeiGong (Nei Kung) - Internal Development
• QiGong (Chi Kung) - "Swallowing the Bitter Pill, The Pearl of Mount Hua"
  
• Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) - Yang Tradition
  
• Zhang Zhuang - Standing Meditation & Postural Training

Taiji principles applied to movement include awareness of the relationship of Yin & Yang energies within the body, profound relaxation, integrated whole body power coupled with a supple ability to change. These principles, when cultivated over time, result in improved performance and remarkably integrated core strength. Please see the 'videos' link at the top of the page for examples.

The UCB Program is a complete integrative system, practice ranges from gentle non-confrontational qigong & formwork to deep stretching and vigorous partner training. The Health, Fitness and Martial aspects of the system are complimentary and interest in health does not require that you pursue the martial. Teaching style is traditional, tempered by the latest learning orientations research.
