What is Chi-Do and what might you expect to learn from it?

In short, Chi-Do is a generic term that has been used by many different teachers to describe 'Working with Chi energy’. The system that you will be shown in the classes here is a way of life that teaches one how to be a complete individual. You may learn how to live your life to the full, without many of the stresses to be found in a purely commercial way of life.

Chi-Do is the culmination of some 50 years of study, by Tony Hardiman, into how the mind & body works. It is a view on how humans fit in to this all being that we call the 3rd dimension & beyond. The exercises are carefully choreographed, designed & researched to achieve a healthy balance of body, mind & spirit.

How can you know what is learnt? The training & development is very subtle & is designed to open the mind to all possibility. It will be difficult to describe what you have learnt to others who are not familiar with the methods or philosophy. As you develop you will explore ideas & progress with your fellow students. What is the purpose of the instructors? We are all here to lead by example & to allow you to learn without taking from you the joy of learning for yourself. None of us have had your life. We will not live your life for you or tell you how to do so.

Where is the root of Chi-Do? It is in experience & geometry in action. This is shown in the Chi-Do Chi Kung & Animal Form. It is shown in the blending of concepts & ideas into practical applications. One learns from the basics & as one progresses, you will realise that the circles & interactions lead you back more & more to the basics & the importance of constant practice. This is learning by deepening layers of understanding. What in practical terms will you learn? You will learn self confidence, self defence, control of yourself, the ability to face situations with a clear mind & freedom from panic. You will learn self respect & dignity with the ability to face life with a smile. You will develop a discipline of fitness of mind & body working together. You will be shown how to attain self respect & to show respect for others in your life. To find out who you are is the first step on this long ladder to enlightenment. The training is a preparation for life. All aspects of Chi-Do are linked to this one aim. The martial arts are considered to be a completion of the healing arts, giving a fully balanced view of the world & yourself. All classes of Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Chi Healing, Chi-Do Therapy courses, Chi-Do Martial Arts & Self Defence are part of this process. Live this life to the full & have fun whilst doing so.

Helping others with mercy, tolerance & to be non judgemental is part of self development. Each society has rules for very good reason & good conduct is necessary for a clear mind.

Live life and just BE.
