Developing strength, endurance, speed, courage and power.  Learn about the 5 Animal Styles: Dragon cultivates spirit, Crane trains the sinews, Snake cultivates chi, Tiger trains the bones and Leopard develops strength.   

The human body is a combination of hard and soft elements and for optimum results your training should reflect that in its practice.   As the Yin/Yang symbol demonstrates a synthesis of hard and soft , internal and external, substantial and insubstantial all reveal important lessons. Opportunities for practicing both internal and external forms are available at Temple Knights Camp. 

Each day begins with a 30 minute meditation by the beautiful Dragonfly Pond. Listen to the silence and detoxify your mind.  Some of the meditation techniques practiced during the week include Microcosmic Circuit and the Nine Gates, all of which help you to focus, direct your energy and cultivate peace of mind. 

During the daily lessons or while sitting by the fire, plan on having interesting and mind-opening discussions on a variety of topics such as the Yin/Yang, chi, Fire Element  which is in accordance with the Chinese Five Element Health System. Learn about the associated organs, meridians, diet, color, healing sound and exercises  that go with the Fire Element for summer.  You can also learn some of the movements of the dynamic Dragon form which is the style associated with the Fire Element.
