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.

History (click on images to see video footage)
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.
