After their incredibly popular Qigong workshop with us in 2025, we welcome back our friends from Lighthouse Tai Chi with another Qigong workshop.
Wei Qi or Guardian Qi is the protective layer of Qi. This qigong sequence aims to reinforce and boost this layer, as you learn to increase your internal pressure and qi flow, boosting the immune system. The Wei Qi Qigong set is considered a more external Qigong because it uses physical movement, tensions, and hand shapes to assist in the directional flow of the Qi. Focused breath and visualisations will further enhance its effectiveness.
After last year's early sell out, the 2026 workshop is sure to be fully booked. You can secure your place by booking here now.
How Neo Confucianism Shaped Your Martial Art
Saturday, 12th September, 2026, 3-5 p.m.
In the Halls' Garden (or indoors if the weather insists).
Invited guests only.
In this Zendo workshop over afternoon tea in the garden, Neil R. Hall delves into one of his favourite topics: Neo Confucianism, and how this interesting reinvigoration of traditional Confucianism has impacted East Asian thought for most of the last millenium - and of course found its way into the practice and teaching of martial arts.
It's a topic that most TaeKwonDo students will at least have heard of, through the name meanings of their patterns "Yul-Gok" and "Toi-Gye," but its impact is just as strong - and probably much stronger - in other arts that we teach at LCTKD. In a relaxed workshop for invited guests, Neil R. Hall shares his thoughts on what you will find is a truly fascinating subject.
Though the workshop is for invited guests, you don't need to sit back and worry about whether you will be invited. If you are interested and would like to attend, just contact us to ask about that.
