Martial Arts and Qi gong/Tai Chi,The Secret of Longevity

This template of martial arts is simple, stripped down, essential.  Students learn eight basic postures, all of which are a natural fit with the human body. Dr. deWolfe welcomes students of all levels to participate in his Three Circles classes.  No ranking, no belts, no egos. Just pure martial arts, bringing the body, mind and spirit into perfect balance.Developed by Dr. Kelvin deWolfe, a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and 30+ year student of martial arts, Three Circles uses movements based on the five phases: birth (wood), growth(fire), transformation (earth), decline(metal) and death(water).  These movements, as they exist in nature, are in the golden ratio.  Each successive movement has power over the other–much like the game of rock, paper, scissors:  Metal movement beats wood; wood beats earth; earth beats water; water beats fire;  fire beats metal and metal beats wood.
