History:
Master Wang Ji Wu (1891 - 1991) was an accomplished martial artist and Chinese medicine doctor who, using his decades of experience, developed these 16 exercises to help both his students and patients. His students learned these exercises as a warm-up prior to more intense martial arts training, while his patients learned these exercises to help speed the healing process.
These exercises can be practiced by younger and older persons alike.
Class Description:
Class will consist of practicing the full set of 16 exercises followed by in-depth instruction and explanation of 3 - 4 of the exercises to be practiced that week. By week 6, class participants will have the full set of 16 exercises to practice on their own.
