Few Westerners have had the intensive training in healing, Martial Arts and meditation as Bruce Frantzis, including studying in China for ten years with some its most renowned masters and 6 years in Japan and India. A gifted teacher, Frantzis knows how to translate ancient Taoist energy practices into systems that are comprehensible to Westerners.

Energy Arts offers the rare opportunity to study with a Westerner who is a Taoist grandmaster and Lineage Holder in Taoist energy arts. During his 10-years study in China with renowned chi masters, Frantzis followed the unusual Taoist path of warrior/healer/priest. He is widely believed to be first Westerner to be awarded authentic lineages in Taoist energy arts. The lineages were passed down to him by Taoist sage and grandmaster Liu Hung Chieh.

Study with a gifted teacher

Frantzis’ comprehensive study of healing, meditation and martial arts means he is able to teach complex Taoist energetic practices in a way that can dramatically decrease the time it takes to learn and absorb the material. He has taught Taoist energy arts to more than 15,000 students in the United States and Europe.

Focus on developing chi (Qi) energy

Frantzis is one of the few Westerners with both comprehensive knowledge of the Nei gung (neijiaquan) and the ability to systematically and safely teach it. Emphasis on all Energy Arts programs is on learning to feel, develop and move chi (qi) to develop a healthy mind, body and spirit, free of energetic blockages.

Train safely

The majority of the thousands of chi practices are health-enhancing and safe. However, because they are mind/body practices, they can cause significant problems if taught incorrectly. Energy arts programs and products are designed with safety in mind. We emphasize the 70 percent rule that states you should only do any chi technique, to approximately 70 percent of your capacity. This is opposite to the “no pain, no gain” principle that is commonly advocated in the West.

Learn to become a certified instructor

Frantzis is one of the few grandmasters that offers instructor certification training at stepped skill levels (beginning through advanced). These trainings help students and instructors upgrade and advance their skills as well as learn to effectively and safely teach others. Several Energy Arts certified instructors have founded their own schools based on Frantzis’ system.
