Through daily practice of internal and external forms, breathing exercises, meditation, and self-defense techniques, you will reconnect with your body, sharpen your mind, and explore the deeper layers of your being.

The program

The program runs from Monday to Friday. Each day includes a variety of training sessions, entirely based on the training program of Nam Yang, Thailand. In 5 days, you will get a perfect impression of Chi Kung & Kung Fu.
