Return To The UnCarved Block
"A block of wood that is not yet carved has no set form, it is thus infinite in potential."
The UCB Program aims to help you become more natural and comfortable... To 'Return To The UnCarved Block'.
Another way of describing our approach is to say that we are 'Bringing Clarity of Purpose to Physical Culture'.
Enjoy!
How We Train
The UCB Program consists of solo and partner exercises that develop your awareness & concentration. If you have the awareness, you can get the feel for a movement. If you have the feel and can concentrate, you can become more natural. This type of practice can affect permanent change in one's condition. Our curriculum is based on Taiji (Tai Chi) Principles, drawing from Taoist & Chan (Zen) Buddhist techniques. Practice includes:
- QiGong (Chi Kung)
- I-Liq Chuan - Core of the UCB Program
- Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan)
- NeiGong (Nei Kung) - Internal Development
- Zhang Zhuang - Standing Meditation & Postural Training
Taiji principles applied to movement include awareness of the relationship of Yin & Yang energies within the body, functional relaxation, integrated whole body power coupled with a supple ability to change. These principles, when cultivated over time, result in improved performance and remarkably integrated core strength.
