Sensei is honored that his friend Dr. Arianne invited him to once again present at The Movement Paradigm Movement Summit. It’s always a great day of learning & moving!

FEATURED EXPERT SPOTLIGHT: MIKE PANNULLA

Qigong typically combines movement, breath, and focused attention in one practice.

Reading about a movement practice and doing it are two different experiences. This session offers a chance to try qigong in person.

At The Movement Paradigm Summit, Mike Pannulla will lead a session on Qigong.

Mike is a Qigong Certified Practitioner and the owner and head instructor of Magnus Karate in West Chester, PA, which he founded in 2010. He holds a 5th degree black belt in Shobayashi Shorin Ryu under Kyoshi Tony D'Angelo and a 4th degree black belt in Traditional Tang Soo Do.

He completed a 21-part medical and martial Qigong course at the Tranquil Cloud Temple and has trained in martial arts for more than 30 years. He teaches Qigong and meditation to help students understand internal movement concepts, joint freedom, and mobility.

Join Mike and our featured experts for a day of learning, movement, and exploration. Discover new perspectives on movement, breath, and whole-person wellness.

We loved welcoming buddies of our beginner students into the dojo for Buddy Week!

It was an honor to once again host the Shobayashi-Kan's annual fall seminar at our dojo this past weekend. The seminar featured instruction from Sensei's teacher (Hanshi Tony D'Angelo, 9th Degree) and Sensei's D'Angelo's senior student (Kyoshi Tommy Revell, 8th Degree) and their teacher (Hanshi Bill Hayes, 10th Degree).

We had participants travel from North Carolina, Colorado, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and here in PA. Our dojo was well represented by our student base; our adult class members and some students who attend our Age 13+ Senior Level class.

It was a great weekend of hard work and camaraderie - an event we look forward to all year long!

Our end of summer sparring night in our senior level Black belt class to send off our alum was a blast! There really is no better way to wrap up our summer with them and send them back to college.
