  • Fighting… Of Course!!!
  • Proper physical development...

Of course the level of importance for each of these areas of development will vary with each student depending upon his/her goals. With this in mind, we supplement Five Ancestor Fist with other martial art styles and internal methods that enhance our core practice in several ways…

Jade Dragon Martial Arts, Along with the Parent Company SynerG Coaching address maximum wellness, longevity and self mastery utilizing the following practices...

  • SynerG Coaching's Five Pillars of Longevity (A complete Practice for Life & Longevity)
  • Yi Jin Jing Practice- The muscle changing classic
  • Martial Arts Training
  • Internal Martial Arts Training
  • Nei Gong- Qigong, Dao Yin & Internal Alchemy Practice

The Foundation of any traditional Chinese practice…

Is the Muscle Changing Classic or the Yi Jin Jing.

The Muscle Changing Classic is One of the most important practices we teach at SynerG Coaching as well as The Jade Dragon Martial Arts Academy. This practice is NOT the 12 posture Qigong set (although that is part of our curriculum). It is a comprehensive practice that involves a complete transformation of your body into an efficient and energetically active machine. In this video I will take you step by step into how the process of the Muscle Changing Classic Works. I will also discuss the incredible benefits in terms of your strength, wellness, vitality and most importantly your Longevity. (click on the image to view a video about the muscle changing classic)

Our Core practice...

The Five Pillars of Longevity

At SynerG Coaching and Wellness we define longevity like this. Longevity is the practice of living the longest life possible while maintaining the ability to easily manage daily functions independently while feeling healthy, vital and energized up until the end of our days.

The human body is a very intricate machine and all of the pieces need to work together synergistically and in balance to provide maximum health and wellness. We have developed The Five Pillars of Longevity as our Coaching method to help you maximize and find balance in all phases of your life. So what are the Five Pillars?

  1. Daily Exercise
  2. Proper Diet (nutritional input)
  3. Efficient Body (all systems balanced and working together)
  4. Stress Reduction/Management
  5. Internal Energy/Qi- (building a properly energetic body)

With this in mind, our methods of practice at Jade Dragon Martial Arts & Neigong Academy are an incredibly integral component within the Five Pillars. Here's how they relate...

Martial Arts Practice

This is how Martial Arts may be the Most efficient exercise for longevity and vitality...

So, let’s get one thing crystal clear… If you don’t fight, you are not a fighter. There is no question that if you practice Martial Arts you are going to develop skills that can be beneficial in a physical altercation. But there is more to Martial Art Training...
... Fighting is not as important to me as I my practice matures (and me too:-)); those days are behind me now. My personal focus is more on cultivation at this stage of my life. I still practice martial arts daily because my practice has great benefit in terms of developing and maintaining optimal health, vitality, wellness, and longevity. In fact, traditional Chinese martial arts may well be the singular best exercise to promote longevity in existence. Here is how Martial Arts and the Five Pillars mesh together:

  1. Pillar One- Daily exercise- This is obvious as MA Training can and should be very physical in practice. 
  2. Pillar Three- Efficient Body- Strengthening and "releasing" the musculature has clear efficiency benefits
  3. Pillar Four- Stress Reduction- Exercise reduces stress, MA exercise is especially effective through stretch and release.
  4. Pillar Five- The Chien Forms of Five Ancestor Fist along with other "Wei Dan" practices in our external MA practice there is a definite focus on Energetic/Qi development.

Internal Martial Arts

Although not as physical as external MA, Internal MA may be more effective to vitality and longevity especially as we age...

Within the Internal Arts Academy, Yang style Taijiquan (太極拳) is taught as a complete system of internal cultivation which integrates martial arts, energetic refinement and personal development into a single, coherent practice. 

The foundation of Taijiquan rests upon the harmonious relationship between Yi (意), Qi (氣) and structure. Through progressive training, practitioners learn to soften unnecessary tension, establish song (鬆) within the body and allow Jin (勁) to emerge naturally from correct alignment and ‘release’. As the form is refined step by step, internal and external qualities merge, resulting in a practice that simultaneously develops energetic health, structural integrity and physical vitality. (click on the image to learn more)

Taoist Qigong & Neigong

Taoist Longmen Neigong

Within the Internal Arts Academy, the Nei Gong (內功) program is taught as a complete system of internal cultivation designed to systematically develop the body, regulate Qi and refine the deeper internal processes that underpin health, martial skill and spiritual practice. Nei Gong forms the core of the internal arts and provides the structural and energetic foundation upon which all further training rests.

The basis of Nei Gong lies in the methodical transformation of the physical vessel so that it becomes capable of holding, generating and circulating Qi in a stable and functional manner. Through precise training methods, the body is aligned, opened and integrated while the breath and awareness are refined. As Qi becomes abundant and regulated, the internal environment of the body is gradually reorganized, allowing deeper stages of internal development to unfold naturally.
