Are you the owner of Barnet Qigong and Wing Chun?
Barnet Qigong and Wing Chun is a martial arts club located in Barnet, North London. The club offers traditional Qigong and Wing Chun classes in a friendly and open environment. The classes are taught by Sifu Peter Walfisz, who has a wealth of experience in martial arts.
Sifu Peter Walfisz started his martial arts journey at the age of 14, beginning with Ai-Ki-Do. During his university years, he explored various martial arts styles. However, towards the end of his first degree, Peter suffered a severe back injury that left him in constant pain and with limited mobility. Traditional medicine recommended spinal surgery, but Peter decided to explore alternative options.
Acupuncture proved to be helpful, and he was then introduced to Tai Chi. After some research, Peter discovered Sifu Michael Tse in 1994, who recommended that he study Qigong instead of Tai Chi due to his injury. Surprisingly, Peter began studying Wing Chun with Tse Sifu just seven months later, defying his medical prognosis. Since 1994, Peter has remained committed to studying with Tse Sifu, attending classes and seminars.
He has also had the privilege of learning from Grand Master Ip Chun, Peter's Sigong.
Classes at Barnet Qigong and Wing Chun are held every Saturday, providing participants with the opportunity to improve their physical and mental health. The classes are small and friendly, ensuring that every student receives personalised attention. The club's location is at the United Reformed Church on Wood St, Barnet, which offers convenient parking in the church car park.
Qigong, also known as Chi Kung, is a traditional Chinese skill that focuses on improving health and promoting longevity. The gentle movements of Qigong are designed to open the acupuncture channels and cleanse the body of toxins. Dayan Qigong, a specific form of Qigong practised at the club, is a Daoist skill that has shown profound effects on various illnesses. Qigong is suitable for individuals of all ages.
The history of Kunlun Dayan Qigong (Wild Goose Qigong) dates back 1800 years to the Jin Dynasty in China. This skill was developed by observing the wild geese that made their home in the Kunlun Mountains. It was passed down through generations until it reached Yang De Shan, who kept it secret and practised until he surpassed the age of 70. Then, he passed the skill on to his granddaughter, Yang Meijun, the 27th inheritor of the Dayan Qigong system.
She became one of the most renowned Qigong masters in the modern world. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout her life, she remained committed to keeping the skill pure and only began teaching it once she turned 70.
