Eight Gates Internal Arts is a 'health-first' school of Martial, Cultivation and Healing arts. We teach practical, no-nonsense fundamentals for learning, training and practicing the Chinese Traditional Arts.  Bringing authentic body-mind teachings, insights and practices "down from the mountains" into the world. We teach for modern times while remaining respectful and rooted in the classical perspective and methods of the Chinese Traditional Arts, with an emphasis upon embodied and tangible practice through foundation training.

We also teach an accessible 'life-first' system of Natural Tai Chi. This system is geared towards helping as many people as possible find a way of benefitting their life through the lessons, principles and practice of Tai Chi Qigong.

“The exotic exercises that many are so anxious to get into are really meant to be a capstone... they are not a starting point.”
