'Song'

The Beginning, the Gateway, the Goal

When you consider of Tai Chi, what do imagine? Flowing movements? Inner well-being? Bounteous internal power? As you recall the wonderful qualities of Tai Chi, you can remember why you begin this journey, and what you hope to accomplish, can you not?

One of the first things you learned, and associated with Tai Chi, is relaxation. 'Song', the art of complete relaxation - is the key that opens the door to true Internal Power, and grants you the majority of Tai Chi's wondrous health benefits. It is both a key, and a secret hidden within plain sight.

The Essence of Tai Chi

Have you truly felt Tai Chi's essence?

'Song' is not just releasing the tension of your muscles. As you completely release the tension in your muscles, you begin to release the emotional energies your body has been holding, and beyond which, you release the mental patterns that have limited the growth that you've always known to be possible, 'Song' becomes a restoration of your real nature, your complete freedom, and your highest potential.

'Song' creates the difference between merely moving slowly, and truly flowing. Between stubbornly forcing, and effortlessly achieving. Between surviving, and completely thriving.

Beyond Tai Chi

The bliss of being as you are meant to be

In this course, you are not just learning Tai Chi movements. You're unlocking the wisdom of centuries, distilled into a practical, modern approach.

As you progress, you may notice stress melting away, replaced by unshakeable calm. You may experience chronic pains easing as your body restores its natural state. You may discover an ease to life that infuses every aspect of your life. You can enjoy a deep sense of connection, to yourself, others, and the world around you. Because this isn't just a course, it's a key to a new way of being.

“I signed up for the [Fascia Mastery] course. At first I was a little skeptical. I just finished lesson 4 and for me I think it's worth every penny. To be honest, I learned from a Sifu for 10 years and have never had this kind of knowledge. Thanks Sifu Lin.”

Student Comment on YouTube

“As a long time martial arts practitioner and physiotherapist as well I recently completed Sifu Lin's Fascia Manipulation course online and I found it to be invaluable knowledge. The whole world is still only dwelling on muscles and leverage but the fascia manipulation layer is an absolute game changer. I highly recommend his course.”

“As someone training BJJ for almost 10 years I know from experience that what is explained in these lessons exists and is the true way of attaining greater mastery over your own body and mind as well as over your opponent's energy being projected on to you. It truly is fascinating what our bodies are capable of. I'm now practicing daily the 8 Silk Brocade Qigong as well as the Fascia course, and managing to apply in real life sparring for now little but fascinating elements of your teachings Master. When it works it truly feels like magic, like a black belt level details on grappling that BJJ instructors don't talk about.”
