‘The study of Chinese martial arts continues to open doors for me, offering new challenges and opportunities for personal and physical growth’.
Jane has been studying Chinese marital arts intensely in Victoria and beyond since 2012, in the styles of Ziranmen, LiuHe and Sanda, Baguazhang, Xing Yi, Tai Ji (Wudang 28 and Beijing 24) and Qi Gong, under the teachers linked below.
She holds a Qi Gong teacher certificate from Master Liu Deming and a Level 4 Ziranmen grading from the 5 Elements Martial Arts Academy, where she was assistant teacher.
Martial arts training offers her a generative, restorative and rehabilitative daily practice, not only for the body, but also the mind and spirit.
