The release of Kung Fu Panda brings the health and martial art animal exercises once practiced in secret to life in an animated film. Very cool! Martial arts has come a long way…and we thought this is the time to share our free flow Animal Kung Fu video with you. TanDao five animals are the tiger, crane, dragon, leopard & snake.
Animal movements are the hallmark of Chinese martial arts. Part of this rich heritage includes Five Animals Frolic, created long ago by an Eastern Han dynasty physician, Hua Tuo, for health, longevity and self cultivation — not self defense. Observation and expression of animal articulation connects us with nature and may help us to understand our own energy and characteristics.
Stay tuned for videos highlighting individual animal movements.
New in Energy Snacks: Quick Stretch featuring the Universal Form — our signature exercise.
Keep moving!
