[03/24/21]   NEW CLASS OFFERING –
Chinese Internal Martial Arts, with focus on Chin Na

Lin’s Martial Arts Academy is excited to announce the offering of a unique new class providing integration of the internal arts of Tai Chi, Hsing Yi, and Bagua, with the unifying discipline being Chin Na.

Training will include meditation, qi gong, and basic exercise to develop a strong mind and body.

Class instruction will very much be in the Chinese tradition. The internal arts of Tai Ci, Hsing I and Bagua provide the core of the training. Specifically, instruction will include 13 Posture Tai Chi, 5 Elements Hsing I, and Classical Bagua forms. Training will be refined through the years based on these fundamental teachings. Ultimately, external style Chinese martial arts will be incorporated into the discipline.

The training will be scaled to be appropriate for the full range of students from beginners to those with more experience in martial arts. The class will provide physical conditioning, flexibility and balance with increasing competence as time progresses.

The classes will be led by Keith Winterkorn, MD, who studied for over 25 years under Sigong Charles Lin, the founder of Lin’s Martial Arts Academy. Dr. Winterkorn has led classes in Chin Na and Bagua at the Academy for the past several years. Dr. Winterkorn also has extensive training in martial arts over the past 50 years including Shaolin Kung Fu, Karate, Tai Kwon Do, Aikido, and Judo.

The Lin’s Martial Arts Academy observes all health and safety recommendations associated with the Covid pandemic. Prospective students are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated against Covid-19.

Class time: Monday and Wednesday 7:30 to 9:00 pm
Tuition: $90.00 per month plus tax.

[05/11/19]   Marriage of Heaven and Earth

I cannot say enough great things about the Marriage of Heaven and Earth Chi Kung class recently taught by Ms. Marcy Pincus at Lin's Martial Arts Academy.

In addition to teaching this Chi Kung set, hands on instruction in opening and closing the joints (fingers, wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle) as well as partner exercises were included in the instruction. These joint exercises were most helpful in learning to moving chi through these areas to improve mobility and reduce pain.

The class was comfortable, students were encouraged to ask questions and relate their responses to the exercises. Ms. Pincus was attentive to individual student's joint issues to help address them within the framework of the class.

There were lots of smiles and "ahh's".

I hope more Chi Kung classes will be offered in the future.
