NATIONAL ACADEMY OF KUNG FU WUSHU - YI QUAN

WHO PRACTISES YI QUAN?

Of course, Yi Quan concerns first of all the people who initially want to approach a complete and thorough study of Kung Fu Wu Shu, for its applications in combat, the sporting competition, the self defense, the maintenance of the body and health by Qi Gong, but also the search of a mental equilibrium and a certain art of living.
The practice of Yi Quan can facilitate the search for a certain spirituality, WHICH REMAINS DESPITE EVERYTHING A PERSONAL STEP, and for which no teaching nor orientation are approached in the teaching exempted at the National Academy of Kung Fu.

 

FOR WOMEN AND MEN, AT ANY AGE :
Specificities of its teaching enable Yi Quan to be studied by women and men, even for people who never had a physical activity, and to adapt the practice of each one to his age, his morphology and his motivations.
The bases of the practice allow the practice and the progression until a ripe age.


WOMEN AND YI QUAN :

In addition to the benefit in the field of health in general, the women appreciate the effects of the Qi Gong in the field of the regulation of the hormonal system and the menstrual flows.

The principles of Yi Quan are applicable to all the other sporting activities whom they increase the efficiency, the concentration, the energy level, the recovery.
Many sporting disciplines can benefit from the use of the living force and explosive force.


MARTIAL ART AT THE SERVICE OF OTHER ARTS :

The musicians often suffer from pathologies, due to the prolonged asymmetrical positions which they adopt when they play their instrument. The painters, the sculptors, the writers, the graphic designers, the cameramen, can also be subject to the same problems.
To correct these attitudes by the work of Yi Quan makes it possible to eliminate the contractions, to rebalance the body by a total and natural musculation, to relieve the back and to prevent the appearance of rheumatisms.
The comedians and the dancers will particularly appreciate the training of the displacement of the centre of gravity, the concept of vacuum and full, as well as the development of the sensitivity to space and the sensory field. The control of the emotions, like the stress, the stage fright, as well as the energy work will enable them to add an new dimension to their interpretation.


YI QUAN AND THE WORKING WORLD :
In general, all the people subjected to stress, upright or sitted prolonged stations, to noise, nervous tiredness of working and urban environment, can very clearly increase their quality of life as a practitioner of Yi Quan, in particular through its wellbeing aspect, the QI GONG.
