Weekly Classes in Bellingham

Taoist Neigong & Martial Arts

We offer weekly classes in Taoist Neigong and Hung Kuen martial arts. Our classes meet near the clinic at Birchwood Park — a natural outdoor setting that complements the meditative and physical demands of both disciplines.

Whether you are drawn to the internal cultivation of Neigong or the dynamic power of Hung Kuen, both paths share a common foundation in Chinese medicine philosophy and the cultivation of Qi.

Why Practice

The Benefits of Internal Arts

Physical Health

Regular practice builds strength, flexibility, balance, and cardiovascular endurance through mindful, full-body movement.

Mental Clarity

The focused, meditative quality of internal arts training cultivates calm, concentration, and resilience under pressure.

Energetic Cultivation

Both disciplines work directly with Qi — the vital energy that flows through the body — supporting the same principles underlying acupuncture and herbal medicine.
