Holistic Healing Arts Center is coming together of three different but similar ways of life.  Tang Soo Do, Chi Kung, and Yoga are interdisciplinary arts for personal development that can be learned by children and adults alike.

 

Tang Soo Do

Tang Soo Do is considered to be among the finest fighting art systems in the world today. It is highly recognized for its traditionalism of discipline and the thoroughness of understanding and training mind, body, and spirit. This ancient Korean fighting art has a rich 2000-year history. What has preserved the precision of this art is the discipline with which it has been studied, taught, and handed down for generations. The ultimate goal of Tang Soo Do practitioners is to develop strong character through a disciplined way of life centered on mental, physical, and spiritual growth. The practice is very effective in dealing with fear, anger, worry, frustration, fatigue, and stress helping them to develop confidence, grace, and poise. Using the whole person concept, this art educates you to become a better person. Tang So Do strives to maintain the original philosophy and tradition.

Chi Kung

Chi Kung is an ancient 3000-year-old alternate healing technique. This discipline trains the mind to direct the body’s life force called “Chi”, to prevent or cure disease and achieve mental and spiritual balance. Through a series of physical movements and still patterns, you can learn to develop internal healing energy. Chi Kung is rapidly gaining in popularity and is being practiced the world over. It is now universally recognized to alleviate both disease and stress, through a calm and peaceful mind. It is worth the time and effort to learn and practice this self-healing technique, that promotes health, mental clarity, and longevity.

Yoga

Yoga is an ancient 5000-year-old holistic art to strengthen the mind, body, and spirit. Yoga enables people to begin from their immediate, present state of consciousness and move forward, day by day, into a state of wholeness, well-being, and enlightenment. Yoga practice enhances self-awareness, mindfulness, and a connection with one’s inner self. It is a comprehensive approach to cultivating a healthy and harmonious lifestyle. Even beginner students can shed physical tension, and mental and emotional turbulence, and prepare for a more balanced state of existence.
