Introduction

The Purple Bamboo Institute is offering specialized training workshops in the Chinese Arts. There are a number of topics available to choose from. You can choose a private or group session that will focus solely upon the topic or art of your choice. If you are looking for something to augment other training you are doing, such as Yoga, Martial Arts or Sports, there is a workshop to benefit you. Not sure what you want? Just contact PBI Sifu and we’ll help direct you to the session right for you. You can choose From Private one on one classes, or group sessions.

 

These workshops utilize principles and knowledge such as, relaxation, stress reduction, fitness, flexibility, endurance, and/or self-defense. These are specialized sessions, which focus on one primary topic only. The sessions are relaxed, and flexible and we can show you how to incorporate the Chinese Arts into your daily life.

 

Regularly held classes at the Richland Karate Center and at the OSU Mansfield Campus teach similar ideals but often cover a much broader range of topics. These classes are focused on knowledge awareness, body discipline, movement, and relaxation and are often attended by those who have no previous experience. So, read on, investigate, research and contact us if you are interested in a session.

 

Workshop or Group Sessions

Workshops and Private sessions can be in a group format or one on one instruction. Most sessions average about 2-3 hours and can be arranged on a continuation basis (i.e. weekly, monthly).  Workshop location and time is decided prior to session(s). A minimum of four (4) students is requested but not required for Workshop or Group sessions. All attendees are eligible for honorary membership. See Membership Info for privileges.
