12 Step Health Preservation Qigong Workshop - Daoyin Yangsheng Gong Shi Er Fa - 19 May 2024

Wulong Tai Chi Kung Fu is pleased to announce our first workshop for 2024.

Qigong Workshop – 12 Step Health Preservation Qigong

Also called the Daoyin Yangsheng Gong Shi Er Fa, this qigong is a complete set of meridian exercises combining mental concentration, breath control and body movement for life vitality. Long-term practice can enhance cardio-pulmonary function, body shape, flexibility, balance, coordination, as well as improving self-regulating capacity of the nervous system.

The 12 Step Health Preservation Qigong is designed to work on three levels. First, it can be used for health maintenance, to improve vitality and prevent disease by keeping the immune system strong. Second, it can be used directly as a treatment for chronic disease or certain acute conditions. Thirdly, it can be used as a recuperative therapy for those in a recovery phase – the movements are unique in that they can be practised either standing or sitting.

Join Professor Lily Sun to learn:

• An introduction to the 12 Step Health Preservation Qigong - Daoyin Yangsheng Gong Shi Er Fa. Created by the Chinese Health Qigong Association to promote physical health, mental relaxation, and spiritual well-being.

• Foundation skills and techniques based on the traditional images from ancient silk paintings excavated in Changsha, China.

• Simple, beautiful movements based on traditional Chinese medicine principles to improve the function of organs, and preserve health and prevent illness.

The workshop is suitable for all ages and skill levels from beginner to advanced.

Places are limited and registration is essential. Please register via our event page for a unique opportunity to learn this versatile and beneficial qigong while enjoying Professor Lily’s warm, generous and exceptional teaching skills.

Yang Style Tai Chi Fan Session 2 Wrap up

On 12 November 2023, Professor Lily Sun led a second exclusive workshop for tai chi enthusiasts to learn session 2 of the Yang Style Tai Chi Fan 28 routine.

Professor Lily delivered clear and comprehensive instructions on Session 2 movements and tai chi fan techniques. Participants immersed themselves in the foundational skills and techniques essential for mastering the subtlety, intricacy and pleasure of the latest and most popular modern fan routine.

Having trained extensively with the creator of the Yang Style Taichi Fan 28, Professor Yang Li, Professor Lily delivered rare insights and a enthralling learning experience.

Professor Lily’s knowledge of the routine and her renowned teaching expertise ensured a high standard of learning for participants. As always, students particularly enjoyed the explanations of subtle fan martial applications - not just simply the basic movements. Professor Lily explained how the fan can be used to startle or visually confuse an opponent, deflect or redirect attacks, and with a flick of the wrist the fan can collapse to strike, parry hits or block other weapons.

We practiced the circular and linear movements of the Tai Chi Fan 28 – open, close, strike, block, poke, sweep, or hook – combined with footwork, body rotation, and other techniques of this fluid and powerful martial art.

And the engaging and uplifting movement names such as “Rain dragon returns to the sea”, “Mighty ox tills the fields” and “Bee tricks the butterfly” inspired our positive enjoyment and assisted our memory of the movements.

Once again Professor Lily was very impressed by students excitement and excellent results achieved learning the techniques and movements of the second half of Tai Chi Fan 28.

"Training with the tai chi fan is good for your taichi foundation, energy flow, mental function (focus and concentration) physical coordination, flexibility, strength and balance." says Professor Lily

“The Tai Chi Fan 28 routine is very relaxing and promotes mindfulness during practice. And the routine movements are very good for your heart.”

Professor Lily is planning a review session for Yang Style Tai Chi Fan 28 for January 2024. Stay tuned for more information soon.

Connecting to a conference theme of opening minds, Professor Lily introduced future doctors to the easy and well researched movements of Ba Duan Jin health qigong, proven to support health and wellbeing, stimulate energy generation, and promote unity of mind and body (mindfulness).

Professor Lily helped medical students to learn a skill they can practice to maintain their physical and mental health through the hard work of medical study - lectures and clinical days, early morning ward rounds - and future career pressures. Professor Lily said:

“I am teaching them a skill to keep their personal health as a priority while doing better, and being better , in an inreasingly challenging world.”

Students enjoyed Professor Sun’s engaging, generous and exceptional teaching skills. They had many questions about Ba Duan Jin, tai chi and qigong to ask her after the session.

Professor Lily explained that Ba Duan Jin has gained worldwide recognition as an effective exercise system for improving health and preventing diseases. It is published by the Chinese Health Qigong Association and over 450 scientific studies have been conducted to investigate its health benefits and effectiveness.

Tai Chi Fan - A mesmerising martial art

Thank you, Professor Lily! For teaching us the subtle and intricate ways of the Yang Style Tai Chi Fan 28.

With the sharp crack of opening and closing fans resounding in our ears, we practiced the circular and linear movements of the Tai Chi Fan 28 – strike, block, poke, sweep, or hook – combined with footwork, body rotation, and other techniques of this fluid and powerful martial art.

Professor Lily showed us how the tai chi fan can be used to startle or visually confuse an opponent, deflect or redirect attacks, and with a flick of the wrist the tai chi fan can collapse to parry hits or block other weapons.

Professor Lily was very impressed by our excitement and dedication to learning the techniques and movements of the first half of Tai Chi Fan 28, with the excellent results achieved, and our enthusiasm for more training.

“The Tai Chi Fan 28 routine is very relaxing! It requires focus and concentration, which ensures mindfulness during practice. And the routine movements are good for your heart. The slow and rhythmic movements can improve cardiovascular health and circulation.” says Professor Lily,

"Training with the tai chi fan improves your taichi foundation. Tai chi fan practice develops coordination, flexibility, strength, balance, and improves energy flow throughout the whole body."

As always, the focus of Professor Lily’s training included correct foundation and technique - the martial applications of each movement were revealed, not just simply the basic movements.

Professor Lily is very pleased with the outcome of the workshop, and is planning a follow-up Tai Chi Fan 28 workshop for November 2023. You can send an email to express your interest in attending to info@wulongtaichi.com.au

Taichi Sword 42 Session 2 - the best! (Copy)

ONE OF OUR BEST EVER WORKSHOPS!  Wulong Tai Chi Kung Fu is celebrating its hugely successful Taichi Sword 42 Session 2 Workshop held on 6 November 2022.  A hard routine - Taichi Sword 42 is the standard for international competition - and a difficult routine to learn, but made easy under the guidance of Professor Lily Sun.

After the fascinating Taichi Sword 42 Session 1 Workshop, completing Session 2 ensured students were totally enthralled with the beauty and joy of taichi sword.

Under Lily’s expert instruction, we were captivated by the Taichi Sword 42 routine, we stabbed, thrust, blocked, parried, and pointed the sword, while moving left and right, back, front and oblique. We were delighted to discover our improved balance and posture, focus and control of the sword, and our strength and endurance as well.

Professor Sun was very impressed with how attentive and diligent workshop students were, and glad to pass on more of her knowledge and skills of the taichi sword to future practitioners.

“I was excited to see students quickly adopt the correct posture, stance and balance – improvements from the first session. I am very proud of the good technique students demonstrated and delighted with their efforts.

“Students have focussed well and learnt faster, and their hard work practising the first session and foundation taichi sword movements is evident in the impressive achievements today. I am also delighted to see the photos which clearly demonstrate the high standard achieved at the workshop.”

“Training with the taichi sword increases ability in all the foundations of taichi, particularly balance and posture. It develops focus and spatial awareness, strength, coordination, and fitness. It strengthens the arms and wrist and improves energy coordination throughout the whole body.”

Professor Lily Sun has practiced taichi sword since eight years old, it being her speciality short weapon during her Wushu career. Professor Sun is rare among Australian taichi practitioners as she has won gold medals in taichi sword at the national level in China.  Her superior training techniques has ensured correct foundation and technique as the practical applications of each movement were taught, not just simply the basic movements.

Review sessions for Taichi Sword 42 are planned for January 2023. Stay tuned for more information soon.

Wulong Taichi success at GemLife Woodend

GemLife Woodend residents are seeking to improve their health and wellbeing by learning taichi. Since the introduction of weekly classes on Wednesdays at Gemlife Woodend a few months ago, increasing numbers of enthusiastic residents have joined.

Wulong principle Professor Lily Sun says the idea is to keep the body moving.

"As we get older, we have to be more proactive to keep the joints and body moving, and taichi is the perfect way to do it” she said. “We do all the warmups and foundation movements because those exercises give ongoing benefits by incorporating stretching, balance and moving all the joints and muscles."

The first couple to move into the GemLife resort, Doreen and Danny, regularly attend the classes and say they are benefiting greatly from the sessions.

“We joined the taichi class to help with balance, breath control and more, and found it has also assisted with better coordination. It's not hard to do the exercises and those taking part can adjust the routine to suit their own abilities and  circumstances. We are not great at sports, but taichi is something anyone can do," said Doreen.

GemLife Woodend Resort Manager Leanne Boxshall agreed, adding:

"It's amazing how quickly you can benefit from regular taichi classes."

GemLife enthusiastic taichi students are  looking forward to taking the classes outdoors in the country club alfresco area where they can enjoy the fresh air and warmer spring and summer weather.

And approximately 10% of all COVID patients develop long COVID symptoms, which may persist from one month to more than one year. Long COVID can include shortness of breath, post-exercise illness, cognitive decline, chronic fatigue, stomach disorders, musculoskeletal pain and decline in mental health.

Melbourne International Film Festival Performance

Congratulations to Professor Lily Sun and Wulong Tai Chi Kung Fu, for demonstrating the ‘way of the dragon’ at the Melbourne International Film Festival.

Wulong Tai Chi Kung Fu was officially invited by MIFF organisers to perform an in-cinema kung fu show for the world premiere screening of Iron Fists and Kung Fu Kicks on 14 August 2019 at the Capitol Theatre.

Iron Fists and Kung Fu Kicks documents the untold story of how kung fu films became a global phenomenon, busting box offices and breaking barriers since the 1960s.

The team from the Wulong Tai Chi Kung Fu headed by our school principle Professor Sun generated excitement for the audience at the world premier and the performance was extremely successful.

Feedback from the MIFF events manager was enthusiastic -

“Thanks so much for an amazing performance. The team were incredible, everyone loved it.”

— MIFF Events Manager

Professor Sun is proud to see the hard working Wulong Tai Chi Kung Fu students having fun and demonstrating their kung fu skills.

Did you enjoy the Da Wu Qigong dance?

Thank you to everyone who joined us in the Da Wu - the dance - Workshop on June 2nd. Possibly the first time Da Wu has been presented in Australia. It was an outstanding session with Professor Lily Sun, and we appreciate everyone’s hard work. 

Complicated but not difficult, the benefits of the dance for joints, muscles and balance were easy to detect. However the dance not only helps the muscles but also the internal organs to promote the circulation of qi and blood.

We hope everyone enjoyed the dance and continues to enjoy their practice.

Here’s a small collection of photos from the day.
