People ask, “Why should I come to your school?”. The reason is that Grandmaster Li Tai Liang is headquartered here and he personally teaches 9 classes a week. Each student gets hands on instruction and corrections from the Grandmaster himself. The Xinyi-Dao System is an internal martial arts system that is used for self-defense. Students learn to use the elements of Shaolin, Tai Chi, Bagua and Xinyi style martial arts, to defend themselves against injury, disease, stress, the ailments of old age, as well as the more traditional meaning of defense against attack from other people.

Our school values traditional ideas of respect, support and loyalty. Grandmaster Li and each of his students strive to help others in their quest for better physical strength, internal power, mental focus, confidence, and discipline, as well as stronger friendships, community connections and a longer, healthier life. Registration in our school is flexible to suit all schedules . We offer small blocks of classes so you never need to sign long term contracts. Ask about our family discounts and our trial class.

San Francisco Bay Xinyidao focuses on the teaching and cultivation of dantian spirals in all movements. Beginners are taught a variety of standing postures to develop connectivity. Then, a simple version of squatting monkey is used to demonstrate and practice storing and releasing in a straight vertical line. Stepping methods are introduced to show how dantian rotation can be used to power forward movement.

Through the various forms and techniques of Dai style Xinyiquan and Che style Xingyiquan, we explore dantian powered movement and technique. We also work on Cheng style Bagua circle walking and palm changes to provide further emphasis on twisting and spiraling. The evasive techniques emphasized in that art are also explored. Our two person practices follow the same progression from simple to complex, starting with fixed two person drills and forms, and gradually working into applications against progressive resistance.

Our basic philosophy is to progress from simple to complex, working on both the internal connections and external forms alternately. Students are expected to do solo training outside of class, so that group sessions can focus on teaching of new material, correction of old material, and two person practices. Our goal is to teach achievable skills that will help the practitioner in both martial and health contexts.
