Integral Chuan

Welcome to Integral Chuan

Welcome to Integral Chuan. Integral Chuan is the practice of YIQUAN (I Ch'uan), TAIJIQUAN (T'ai Chi Ch'uan), QIGONG (Chi Kung), TAIJI RULER and MEDITATION as taught by Master Fong Ha of Berkeley, California. Integral Chuan is the most direct way to refine your skill. It is equally beneficial to those seeking a martial practice or a health practice. Both Yiquan and Taijiquan are very meditative in nature. Yiquan is mostly standing still and cultivates a very strong sense of self. This self-possession is the key to health and martial prowess. In Yiquan we seek movement in stillness. In Taijiquan we seek stillness in movement. The two practices are perfectly complementary. Ha Sifu learned Yiquan from Han Xing-Yuan. He learned Taijiquan from Dong Ying-Jie and Yang Cheng-Fu's son, Yang Shou-Zhong.

This site is run by two of Fong Ha's students - Jacob Godwin and Devon Hornby of Austin, Texas. Jacob and Devon promote and teach Integral Chuan in Austin. They hold workshops, host Fong Ha's visits to Austin, and teach classes themselves.

Jacob Godwin and Devon Hornby represent and promote the way of Fong Ha. Both teach classes, hold workshops, and bring Fong Ha to Austin for workshops and retreats.
