"Effortlessness is the nature of our existence. We sit, stand, walk, and do things once when we have acquired the skill of doing them we do them effortlessly. Like driving an automobile or riding a bicycle one exerts a lot of effort when learning but once when the skill is acquired one will do it effortlessly." - Fong Ha

martial system

The martial system of standing is called Zhan Zhuang. Zhan means standing, Zhuang means foundation; together they mean standing foundation.

 This is a practice of stillness (unlike the practice of movement in other systems) that will generate all the necessary knowledge for the martial artist. Hence, this is a supreme practice, because there is nothing you should do: do not think, do not move. These are actually the highest values of the Daoist practice. When the body does not move, you cultivate your chi — internal energy. When the mind does not move you cultivate your Shen - your vitality. Usually we train our body, we program it do all sorts of things. By simply standing, we train ourselves just to be, instead of to act. standing is just allowing the natural ability to work.

The greatest way of the Dao is to follow the self-nature. Practicing Zhan Zhuang regularly helps us break through a lifetime of old habits and programmed patterns of posture and movement.

Grandmaster Sifu Fong H

Grandmaster Sifu Fong Ha started his formal training in Tai Chi Chuan in 1953 first with Master Tung Ying-Chieh and after his death with Master Yang Sau-Chung    , the eldest son of the legendary Yang Cheng-fu.  His training in the Internal System of Martial Arts, Yiquan, was with Master Han Xing-Yuan, a disciple of Master Wang Hsin-Chai, the founder of Yiquan also known as Dachenquan. Master Fong is famous for his simple and clear way of teaching. He has developed a unique approach for internal martial arts combining Taiji and Yiquan. He emphases the classic and the fundamental principles of Taiji. In this way the practitioner develops deep understanding of the art.  He  develops internal power that project outward into his everyday life.
