ROUTES TO STRENGTH AND CONTROL
Oriental martial arts develop your inner self as much as your body. They combine discipline with self-control and rigorous practice. Some martial arts emphasise strength and agility; others clear your mind; all are gloriously invigorating and life-affirming. Our martial arts expert, Dr Sifu Reginald Cann, has been practising since he was a young teenager. He’s now a master of the following disciplines: the Shaolin style of Kung Fu, Qi Gong (Including Medical Qi Gong), and Tai Chi. At COHA, he leads regular classes and private lessons, and is available for seminars.
Nothing beats trying it yourself
If you’ve never tried a martial art, the time to start experimenting is now. And if you’re already an expert, this is the place to raise your skills and understanding to the next level.
