Fascia Mastery – Transcending Force With Effortless Sensitivity

Fascia

Where it all comes together

Beneath our skin, and alongside our muscles and tendons, a connective tissue called Fascia runs all through our body. It connects every corner of our body to help us control our every movement.

The Key to Effortless Control

An Ancient Secret Advantage

Ancient masters of Kung Fu and Shuai Jiao (Chinese Wrestling), always striving for improvements to their skill, discovered a surprising secret. By directing your force along certain paths on a person’s body, you can powerfully limit their movement and impact their balance. They deeply investigated these methods. These techniques became what we now call Fascia Control, or Fascia Tapping.

By mastering this skill, you can let go of habits of hard struggling, and replace it with a powerful method of a soft & effortless influence. This shift in mindset will prepare you for the more subtle skills in Tai Chi internal practice, and allow you to extract even deeper benefits from your Tai Chi practice. Because when you are always relaxed and soft, your body can feel, heal, and function better, can it not?

For these reasons, we call Fascia Mastery a Pre-Internal skills. And because of these reasons, it is the best first step into the practice of Tai Chi Internal Power.
