Daoist Internal Arts: Tai Chi, Neigong, Qigong

Daoist Internal Arts: Tai Chi, Neigong, Qigong is a renowned Tai Chi school located in Whitstable, New Zealand. Founded in 2005 by Dr Matthew Brewer, the school focuses on teaching various internal arts practises for personal health and well-being. As the head of the school, Dr Matthew Brewer is highly experienced and offers classes in Canterbury, Whitstable, as well as online sessions, weekend workshops, and retreats.

The school prides itself on teaching Wu Style Tai Chi, Qigong, Neigong, and Daoist breathing. These practises are available through weekly classes held in various locations across East Kent. The charges for the classes can be found on the dedicated pages on the website.

The instructors at Daoist Internal Arts are dedicated to their craft and hold or are working towards various instructor qualifications with Bruce Frantzis, who is Matthew's teacher. Fiona McArthur teaches in Canterbury, Dave Willis teaches in Deal and Folkestone, and Gary Short teaches in Rainham and Sheppey.

The school follows the Water Method, which is the modern transliteration of 'Daoist'. The Water Method is rooted in the ancient Chinese tradition of Daoism, the oldest philosophical and spiritual tradition in China. It encompasses Chinese medicine and health cultivation practises, which are taught in the school. With a lineage traced back to the earliest Daoist writings, such as the 'Laozi', 'Zhuangzi', and 'Nei Ye', the Water Method has stood the test of time and proven to be safe and effective.

The approach emphasises working within one's limits, deep relaxation of the nervous system, and the release of energy blockages, rather than using force. This gentle and safe method can be practised by people of all ages and fitness levels.
