TAI-KI
Introductory and Ongoing Juko-ryu Aiki Inyo TAI-KI© Classes 
What is TAI-KI©? It is a Japanese-based exercise style that is similar to Chinese Tai Chi.  TAI-KI© is a gentle, controlled method of exercise that is performed in a slow and relaxed manner which has many benefits to health and well-being.  Where TAI-KI© differs from Tai Chi is that each TAI-KI© movement contains Rod Sacharnoski’s world-famous Ki-Life™ Breathing methods.

WHITE CRANE
Juko-ryu Hakutsuru (White Crane) Kempo Karate-jutsu Ongoing Classes - "Soft-Hard System White Crane Hard-Fist Empty-Hand Art".  Hakutsuru "White Crane" is a total martial art that has three main divisions of study: Kin-Da "grasping and locking," Karate-Jutsu, and Kobu-jutsu Weaponry.

The White Crane techniques are known to have originated in Chinese martial arts by way of the Gokei Ken, five form fists of Shaolin Chuan-fa.  White Crane has since survived for many generations through distinguished and well preserved lineages of Okinawa.  This form of Hakutsuru is an Okinawan martial art base with a strong Chinese Chuan-Fa influence. 

In this Hakutsuru White Crane program you will first learn specialized Kin-da (similar, but uniquely Hakutsuru form of Chin-Na) locking and grasping techniques which will be later combined with your study of Kempo (Hard Fist / Chuan Fa) Karate-jutsu fist and foot techniques. As is tradition, there are many White Crane Kata (forms) to learn and Bunkai (Applications) to master. Continued study will open the door for you to study White Crane Kobu-jutsu Weaponry (Okinawan and Chinese Weaponry).
