Dayan Arts Organization

04/27/2026

Our 2026 Spring Camp was the start of our new training program in Dayan Arts.

Friday our Instructors and Instructor trainees had a special question and answer period and worked on forms and meditations in the system.

Saturday kicked off our new training program with the Energy Balancing seminar and using individual techniques to balance the 5 elements in the body.

Training programs will become available online starting this summer for people who would like to train but don’t have an instructor in their area.

An exciting new future with new training opportunities is coming! The future of D.A.O is bright!

Coming up Saturday. I will take registrations until Friday to ensure everyone has copies and materials for the event.

This will be the most informative and important event that I have ever taught on health and longevity!

It will also lay the groundwork for future training in the Dayan Arts training programs!

Don’t miss it!

25 years ago I decided to take responsibility for my health. I started training and researching specifically targeting Acupuncture, massage therapy, meditation, and Tai Chi / Qigong.

I studied extensively (14 trips) in China with Masters in Temples, Hospitals, and training halls learning and developing an understanding of how the body works energetically. Many times going for a month at a time.

This training session is a culmination of that study on health and natural healing

I can count on one hand how many times I have been to the doctor in the last 25 years and most were wellness visits!

If you want to understand your body and the way it heals itself on a deeper level this is the place to be!

Contact me to register. No experience necessary!

I remember the first time I saw a picture of yin and yang. I thought it was just another cool art symbol for decorating T-shirts.

Little did I know the effect it would have on my life, health, and martial arts!

This symbol is more than just black and white—it’s a reminder of how life truly works.

Everything exists in balance:

Light and dark.

Action and rest.

Strength and softness.

Effort and recovery.

In health and wellness, we often chase extremes—train harder, push further, do more. But real vitality doesn’t come from force… it comes from harmony.

Yin teaches us to slow down

Yang reminds us to take action

When these are in balance:

• The body heals

• The mind settles

• Energy flows naturally

Too much Yang? You burn out.

Too much Yin? You stagnate.

True health is found in the constant, mindful adjustment between the two!

Breathe Move Rest Repeat

Find your balance! Happy Training!

17 years ago today I met Master Chen in Wuhan, China.

He has influenced my Martial Arts and Healing Arts practices tremendously!

Always grateful for his teachings!

Big news! The next step for D.A.O has arrived!

Are you interested in becoming a Student of our Dayan Arts programs covering authentic Dayan Qigong, Meditation, and Dayanquan Gong-Fu?

Or becoming a Practice Leader or Certified Instructor and adding these programs to your school or practice group?

In the summer of 2026 we will be launching the new Online Training Center for students, practice leaders, and Certified Instructors! This is a great option for people who want to begin or continue their training but have trouble with distance and / or scheduling.

Students can gain access to our curriculum online thru the individual courses offered in the program. There will also be a written book for each form discussing the origin, theory, movements, and energetic function of each movement.

There are also options to become a Dayan Arts Certified Instructor and Affiliated school. It begins with forming a training group.

Training Group Leaders must be approved by Dayan Arts to be considered a program affiliate and enter the Instructor Program. There are 2 ways to become certified.

The first is hosting a seminar at your location. A Certified Instructor will travel to your facility and work with you and the members of your group on the movements, forms, theory, and principles that make the program come alive!

The second option is for the student to travel to an affiliated school and work directly with a Certified Instructor either privately and / or during a class or weekend camp.

With either option we will discuss the curriculum, details of the programs , and training resources that are available. Once approval is granted the practice group or training facility will be added to the affiliated list and the certification process begins.

If you have questions about our programs feel free to reach out to me directly I will be happy to assist you in your journey!
