Founded in 2000, the Academy offers training in many branches of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including tui na massage, acupuncture, Chinese herbology, t'ai chi ch'uan and qigong.
He studied qigong, philosophy, meditation, and internal martial arts with Taoist master Kwan Saihung for thirteen years, and studied with two other masters before that.
The highly acclaimed Crossing Ohashi Bridge and Qigong, both commissioned for Manchester’s virtuoso Goldberg Ensemble (11 strings), are illustrative of this.
From 1993-2005, he served as the Acupuncture Advisor for the State of Wisconsin, and through his efforts, over the years, Governor Doyle of Wisconsin, Mayor Barret of Milwaukee, and Mayor Speaker of Brookfield all public proclaimed "Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day” and "World Tai Chi and Qigong Day”.
Some of these skills range from mastery of the bow, double swords and Chinese spear to that of Wudang hard qigong, Chuojiao boxing and even magical X-ray eyes.
Neigong, also spelled nei kung, neigung, or nae gong, refers to any of a set of Chinese breathing, meditation and spiritual practice disciplines associated with Daoism and especially the Chinese martial arts.
In April 1999 He Zuoxiu, a longtime critic of qigong practices, published an editorial in Tianjin Normal University's Youth Reader magazine.
It was not until China opened up to the Western World with the visit of President Nixon in 1972 and the subsequent exchanges between China and the West that Western society became aware of qigong.
TCVM practices include five major fundamental branches: Chinese food therapy, acupuncture, herbal therapy, Tui na ("twee-na") and Qigong ("chi-gong").
