The Teh Nei Chia Chuan Style teaches respect towards reputable eastern and western medicine practitioners and healers. Master and your Senior Instructor would be amongst the first to advise you to seek medical help when you have insurmountable difficulties attending to your own health needs. They themselves do so. They also take recommended health tests, and do proactive monitoring, for this reveals and quantifies the otherwise unknowable. Once an issue is known, positive action can be taken to ameliorate. There is much to learn from the Teh Nei Chia Chuan Style of DIY Health Improvement for you to perform before, during and after your visits with your chosen health professionals to synergise the benefits to your wellbeing.
Complementing the work of your effective healers and health practitioners, the Teh Nei Chia Chuan Style of DIY Health Improvement guides you to the point that you minimise or negate the need for medical help. Attention is paid to the cause of ill health as a precursor to developing strategies to reduce, alleviate and avoid further incidences of ill health.
Attention is given to likelihood of various issues as we age, and prevention is commenced early in the Teh Nei Chia Chuan Style of DIY Health Improvement.
Master says, There is no point digging a well after you become thirsty.
The Five Principles of Teh Nei Chia Chuan will guide you to become a better DIY Health Improvement practitioner. Diligence pays the dividend of longevity in a state of well-being.
Master’s lessons on health are both mental activities and practical ideas passed onto Master from his Grandfather, a traditional herbalist, and his Grandmother, midwife and healer, who brought Master up. Additionally, Master practiced and perfected their own strategic and wholistic techniques to assist themselves and their students to accept and love the self as it is and to teach students to see and develop inner beauty.
Increasingly, students may opt to change over to good healthy habits. You will choose what to change and the speed of that change, to ensure you are comfortable and not feeling compelled. All must be done with positivity and a good heart, rather than feeling as though you are undergoing corrective punishment.
If you would like a health consultation with your Senior Instructor please book a one-hour minimum first consult. Half-hour and one-hour sessions are offered thereafter. Upon booking, a short questionnaire will be provided for you to answer, so we can determine how we may best assist.

What do I need to bring to learn Teh Nei Chia Chuan Health, Meditation, Breathing, Qi Gong, Massage, Tai Chi, Nei, Kung and Kung Fu?
Clothing – if you wish to comfortably manage the activities, wear flexible long shorts or pants and a loose t-shirt. We wear black pants and white tops.
After three months, you are expected to wear the uniform.
For formal occasions, you would be given plenty of notice and expected to have the formal uniform jacket.
Shoes – are not to be worn on the gym mat so you can have bare feet or socks/ stockings. It is recommended if you wear shoes on the tai chi lawn that they do not have a strong grip, for it prevents you from sliding, turning and spinning easily. Master always wears Kung Fu shoes, for they are cheap and flexible. Your Senior Instructor mainly has bare feet, enjoying the grounded feeling.
Water – we are on filtered rainwater at Forgedale. Bring a drinking vessel so you can rehydrate.
Loose-leaf folder or similar – if you wish to expedite your training, it is important to get into the habit of writing down what you learn and questions you would like to ask. Then over time, you will have created your own customised learning manual.
We suggest a different for each loose-leaf page so that as your learning deepens you can add to the page and add extra pages. A book can be frustrating and restrictive. Master is a stickler for writing things down and dating each entry. You will then know the context and gain an appreciation for your improved learning over time, too.
Though we may use videos as learning aids, reliance on videos is not considered an appropriate way for students to learn. We encourage memory enhancement and patience, letting the learning flow naturally.
Published books are available from Master who can be contacted via his Facebook page. In each class, we read one or two pieces of prose from Master’s books. Master shares a lot of his literature on his Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/Teh-Nei-Chia-Chuan-Tai-Chi-Kung-Fu-147054698663845/
Insect protection – as we are in a bushland setting and may train outdoors or in the open gazebo.
Weapons – are provided for lessons initially. After three months, you are expected to have your own. Beginners start with the bamboo staff and a plastic tai chi training sword.
