The Daoist (Taoist) Arts
of Weihai Lishi Quanfa
The graceful movements are based on breathing
techniques and the use of qi energy. This means the movements are
soft and fluid but also very powerful, and can have great health
benefits. Fast but also slow, light but also heavy, these arts are
physically expressive and can be applied in many areas of life.

Weihai Lishi Quanfa is a Daojiao Daoyin Shu
(Daoist whole body breathing system). Its roots, history, training
principles and methods are steeped in Daoist tradition. This unique
system is acknowledged by Wu Shu masters as very ancient. Weihai
Lishi Quanfa came to the west from Weihai in Shangdong province
in north-east China. It was brought to the UK in the 1930s by Chan
Kam Lee, who then passed the Lishi arts on to Chee Soo. |
