Chun Yuen Quan is very good for health and will make the body light and flexible and also improve the posture and make the joints strong. Internally it also builds up strong circulation and Qi.

Students Comments:
After
a stressful month, we can honestly say Sigong Mike Bakers seminar was
the breath of fresh air we both needed.
Although we were the only two students attending for Qi Gong, the teaching and support we received during the evening felt like a private lesson.
We came away from the seminar invigorated, with a greater understanding of how subtle adjustments can make big differences to our practice, and the importance of "not just going through the motions".
A big thank you to Sigong and Sifu for such a great evening!

‘It was great to see Sigong again for his annual visit. His explanation of posture and technique regarding Chun Yuen was invaluable, as were his comments about the subtleties of correct stance to maintain structure in Wing Chun’s opening stance. We look forward with great relish to his next visit’. Eric and June
‘Great seminar – I learnt so much. Big thanks to Tai-Sigong for sharing his experience and skill with us’. Neil
‘I found the seminar very useful in my journey of Wing Chun. It was a pleasure to Chi Sau and to learn with Tai-Sigong Mike Baker. I would recommend to anyone to attend a Wing Chun seminar’. Gary
‘It was a great opportunity to meet Tai-Sigong and I feel that his experience taught me a lot. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to further seminars in the future’. Sarah
‘It was great meeting Sigong and Tai-Sigong, I really enjoyed the seminar and discovering just how important my stance is in maintaining stability’. Simon
‘I did enjoy the seminar, and I'm happy to
have met my Sigong and Tai-Sigong. Thank you, I really enjoyed the
lessons and I'm sure it will help stop people from hitting me in the
face as much’, James
Very enjoyable seminar. Really good to see Sifu back in Beccles and having three generations of students altogether and four generations with Sifu. Natasha
