Are you stressed? Ancient Chinese martial art masters delved into nature’s secrets for devising superior self defense, but you may not know that they developed mental and physical techniques for promoting health, wellness and combating stress.
With the acceleration and intensity of economic and political uncertainty, it seems that no matter who we are or where we live in our global village, stress is universal. April is National Stress Awareness Month. Each day this month we’ll have something to help you with your stress management. You’ll also find our Universal Form in the mix, TanDao’s unique exercise created by Lawrence and taught for martial arts and wellness for over 30 years. Join us…TanDao Wellness

As someone who’s had minor health complications from too much stress, I’ll be looking forward to your wisdom. However, I think you did a more than admirable job of covering the topic of stress in ‘The Universal Form’ book, at a time before it was mainstream.
And, yes, I do the Universal Form every morning. It’s great!
Thanks for the appreciation and good words on The Universal Form. Thank you even more for actually doing it every morning.
How many different variations of The Universal Form do you do? As you know, you can take it to another level.
Please share it with other martial artists and non martial artists. Get the word out this month!
Keep practicing.
You’re most welcome, it’s my pleasure to do it! In the morning I do the ‘iron wire’ method with tension for fitness, and to get me clear and balanced for the coming day. But I do very often practice the softer, relaxed method in the afternoon’s after work to decompress.
I found The Universal Form book in a shop in LA’s Chinatown nine or ten years ago, and I’ve been a fan ever since my first reading. I purchased multiple copies of ‘The Universal Form’ DVD on Amazon for family members, and I have the tandao site link on my MySpace profile urging everyone to come visit you.
I blieve you’re wisdom and teaching’s contain benefit for everyone from traditional martial artists to MMA players.

Oh, and most certainly any non-martial artists as well.
