Gongfu
Internal gongfu (kung
fu) is the name given to a broad range of practices from the Chinese
martial and esoteric traditions. These practices have as their goal
mastery of body, mind and spirit through meditation, movement and study. Gongfu literally means acquired skill. It refers to
any type of mastery be it in the martial arts, calligraphy or poetry.
Internal gongfu is the skill of mastering one’s
own health and well being.
The internal gongfu
teachings at the Center are oriented by the Chinese philosophy of the three treasures
essence, energy and spirit. more
The teacher, Devon Hornby, draws on over thirty
years of experience in the martial and healing arts to provide practical
and functional tools for personal growth and transformation. Devon has studied under numerous internal gongfu and qigong teachers and currently
studies with and teaches under the authority of Sifu Fong Ha and is one
of the founders of Integral Chuan Austin.
The internal gongfu
teachings at the Center are the culmination of Devon’s
extensive training and practice in the martial and meditative arts. They
include various types of meditation and qigong as well as the profound
wisdom of esoteric Taoism and tantric Buddhism.
The path of internal gongfu
is a lifelong commitment of discipline and hard work but the fruits of
this path are immediate and ongoing. An internal gongfu
practitioner enjoys profound states of health and wellbeing as well as a
deep sense of joy and peace. Each student who chooses this path at the
center is given individual attention by Devon and guided to the resources
necessary for their development at the center or elsewhere.
