Jin: Your Key to Balance-based Resilience
Whether you know what Jin （勁） is or not, our way of cultivating Jin is developed based on our years of experience in Chinese internal martial arts including taiji, xingyi, bagua, and our practices with trauma studies and solution-focused coaching. The jin cultivation journey can minimize your need to resort to fight/flight/freeze resilience responses, while empowering you to be in a resourceful, balanced state when life events or challenges come at your way.
Jin: The Beautiful Dynamic Expression of Your body
While jin appears to be “the Combination of Power and Beauty” at a quick glance, as a practitioner, jin generation training cultivates the following from your physical dimension all the way to your mental space, allowing you to respond to life situation with graceful resilience:
- Posture alignment and grounding
- Breathing rhythm and depth
- Connecting, balancing and redirecting forces at the finest level
- Fascia activation and nervous system regulation
- Space creation and holding
Jin: You Choose How You Show Up
Jin’s appearance can be both explosive and gentle, while always backed up by a highly resilient boundary. By adhering to the internal arts’ balancing principles such as “no less, no more”, you will always be well-rounded and resourceful, no matter how you choose to show up for yourself and others.
Jin: Gradual Development Through Connection, collaboration & Balance
Jin mastery journey is more than a lone development. A huge part of our training is about connecting with different training partners and polishing your biomechanics and skills under orchestrated pressure base on your preference. Our sessions are always full of laughters, and they are wonderful, progressive ways broaden your windows of tolerance, one step at a time!
Jin: Your Access to Inner Peace and Ease
The process of Jin mastery is a self-awareness and integration cultivation journey. As you progress, you will know how to empower yourself with your inner confidence, peace and ease.

What S. Clark Says About Our Program
"What I experienced in Bagua walking is what I would refer to as “containment”. I felt I was pulling energy into my Being and grounding it and from that stance, I felt empowered. This is the place I need to move from in my life. It is a place of no fear. It is a place of strength and empowerment. It is a place where I can move out into the world from. Thank you Patrick for this powerful teaching."
What J.Lau Says About Our Program
"You are patient to let me know the details for both physical and spiritual. After I learnt it, it helped me apply how to handle the balance in working, emotions, relationship, etc.. I could apply it in anything. It is interesting. Especially keeping Central and balance in body and mind."
What K. Karpoff Says About Our Program
"Patrick's ability to put it together piece-by-piece, drawing on both his martial arts knowledge and connection to energy, helped me build my own awareness and practice piece-by-piece, step-by-step. He is endlessly patient and exudes joy and compassion, evident even on-line.
I am more aware of my alignment and posture while walking, it has helped me understand centre of balance and power better in yoga, and the moments when I can feel the power and energy spiralling up through my core are amazing."
What J. Chan Says About Our Program
"Coach Patrick hands hold me to memorize the forms and gestures which are especially important for a new learner like me who is clumsy generally"
What B. Yao Says About Our Program
"I have clearly realized the changes in my mind and body, such as gradually feeling the communication with nature in th eprocess of walking Bagua, and experiencing how the body transmits power from the earth to my body. The progress I made in the few months I studied with Patrick surpassed my 10+ years of Tai Chi practice."
What P. Chan Says About Our Program
"...Now I have become more aware of my core structure and can better apply the knowledge learned over the years as a tai ji quan practitioner. When you read a book, the concept may be clear but something is usually amiss in practice until someone shows you a way to conect the dots; here, Patrick helps me bridge that gap, allowing me to continually advance to new levels in my craft."
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our Programs
Course Specific FAQ
Jin based biomechanics are powered by our fascial system, and the fascial system functions most effectively when the muscles are relaxed, nerves are calm and moves are performed via well coordinated movement involving the entire body. This mode of movement usually is accompanied by regulated nervous response, deep breathing patterns and intention-driven mindset, not to mention the jin-generated force is much more uprooting comparing to muscle-driven forces.

While the answer to this question varies for each individual, the majority of our members are able to experience and conduct simiple jin-based movements within the first two classes and start to make progressive changes to better their lives.
For members who want to go even further with full embodiment the learning, they stay with us month after month and continue to enjoy all the fun, inspiration and connection from every session!
There are centainly moments where different program content would crossover and overlap, from our experience, you will be able to get more out of our style-based programs if you have a good understanding of jin-based biomechanics first.
General FAQ
In fact, the key service we provide is self-awareness coaching. We do that by allowing our members to enjoy the profound somatic and energetic experiences through internal martial arts practices. Members learn to become mindful of their physical body, posture, energy flow, mental and emotional state. You can say we are a self-awareness school wrapped in an internal martial art’s skin!
Having said that, we do have experienced martial artists who joined our program and found our coaching has inspired them to many new ideas and ways of training. So whether you are seeking ways to have a better understanding of yourself, or you are a martial arts enthusiast exploring for new inspiration and options, we warmly welcome you to check us out and see if we are a good fit for each other!
As simple as self-awareness might sound, many people run their lives in auto-pilot mode without paying attention to their experiences at any given moment. You may think there is nothing wrong about that, but without self-awareness, our choice of actions are ungrounded and easily influenced by our emotions, often leading to impulsiveness and regrets. Self-awareness is a good remedy to that. With self-awareness, you are able to observe your physical state and your inner feelings and to connect the dots. You will start to make your choices consciously and get to see the world differently. You will be able to see beyond duality and discover other unlimited possibilities in between the two ends of the spectrum. Life will become truly beautiful at that point. Once a member told me, “I wish someone told me this when I was 18 years old. I would have lived my life in a totally different way.” It’s that POWERFUL.
Yes, we emphasize on biomechanics a lot, because by learning internal arts biomechanics consciously, the process subtly deepens our self-awareness, changes our way of thinking, regulates our emotions and upgrades our somatic behaviours, eventually leading to the key concept we wish to introduce to our community, which is to make conscious choices.
Instead, you are to make use of whatever is available to you, for you to safely retreat from the scene of danger. In such scenario, as anything can happen, the most important skills to deploy are:
- Remain grounded and calm
- maintain effective boundary and keep the right distance
- The capacity to make conscious choice to deal with at-the-moment situation
- The capacity to deploy jin-based biomechanics to respond to any possible change at any instance, rather than preset “if… then” drills that can easily fall apart against non-compliant opponent(s)
So to answer this question, we don’t offer standalone self-defense program as we intentionally steer away from the “if… then” setup, but by going through our Jin Cultivation Mastery Program, your body and consciousness will know how to respond when such emergency arises.
