Chun Yuen Quan is a very special treasure from China.
It has a history in Shaolin Temple, but if this makes you think of hard and external exercises that only the young can manage, then think again.
Traditional skills are very balanced so everyone can do them, otherwise they would not have stood the test of time.
Master Michael Tse learnt this skill from his Sifu Master Wu Chun Yuen who learnt it from his Sifu, Wang Ping.
Master Wang Ping was famous in the Beijing Opera and kept the skill traditional. This tradition martial art skill meant it considers posture and line of body. A kick is not just with the leg and a punch not just with the arm but the part relates to the whole. In the form Xing Shou, we punch in horse stance. The left hand relates to the right leg and the right hand relates to the left leg. This helps to balance the whole body.
Chun Yuen Quan concentrates on the correct posture of the body so that when bone, joint and muscle are all balanced, then Jing, Qi and Shen will develop. Good posture promotes positve Qi and health. Bad posture will affect the internal organs, the mind and will promote bad health.
Practising Chun Yuen Quan will make your body look good and strong even when we get older. It also makes the body light, not heavy. When we feel heavy and tired and do not feel like moving a lot, then it means that circulation is poor and that there is not enough Qi in the body. Chun Yuen Quan is good at making the body light and so you will feel younger and healthier. Chinese martial art does not just develop muscle but develops the bones. If the bones are strong the muscles will natually grow.
I know that there are a lot of people who really like the Chun Yuen skill and who feel really good after they practice it. You may think you feel to old or to out of shape to try but actually, if you just take it easy and practice the gentle version, you discover you body becomes fit very quickly. You will find that you can even feel better than you did when you were young.
