Our ongoing goal for the students of Zhen Ren Chuan Martial & Healing Arts Center is to help them enhance their well being and life skills by virtue of practicing physical movement.
The real challenge of this blog is to bring awareness of this life altering gift to the public. Practitioners of Martial & Healing Arts find great benefit in strengthening the body-mind connection; the combination of physical movement and mental focus improves mental perception and awareness. This system of physical movement combines proper structural alignment and breathing techniques, allowing natural energy flow to occur within the body. Movement training includes learning how to relax the body while holding position, proper alignment, and intent, while transitioning from one position to the next. Intent is the mental component, and is powerful enough to affect the biology of the practitioner. After a cycle of movement is completed over a number of practice sessions the muscle memory of the body will change. This prepares the body to accept the challenging process of focusing the mind to achieve deeper changes on a biological level, allowing internal healing.
People of any age, including younger practitioners, benefit significantly from martial training. Capacity and aptitude of the student work hand in hand, producing noticeable and quantifiable results. When students enjoy their time in school they are inclined to continue. The responsibility of an instructor is to inspire, challenge, and engage the student, all the while being mindful of the goals of the individual, or, with younger students, of the parent and the child. Instructors must balance ability to manage the moment, as well as maintaining vision to maximize the lives of a large number of people from age 4 to 101. In the months to come this blog will continue to provide information that will introduce the process of determining practical goals for each student, supported by testimonies of life-altering results of practitioners, both written and on video.
On our website, www.zhenrenchuan.com, you can find information about our school, and testimonies of parents about their children and of students who have overcome challenges using this system of physical training. The purpose of this blog is to introduce the processes which create life-altering results, and to explore every possible avenue to show how complete this “Chuan” (physical manifestation) can be.
