Southwest Florida IMA

Southest Florida Internal Martial Arts seeks to increase the recognition of the martial art branches of Bagua, Hsing-i, and Taiji (Tai Chi) to Southwest Florida and beyond. 

Visit southwestfloridaima.com for details about those three martial art forms, all three collectively known as the Internal Arts of China, While originating in China, the internal arts moved into Taiwan and from Taiwan, countries all over the world with many masters of these arts ending up in the United States and Canada following China's Communist Revolution in the late 1940's following the immediate aftermath of World War II. Unfortunately, few of these masters were able to train suitable successors for their martial arts; most students would either be missing the wide knowledge of their system's techniques or otherwise misunderstanding the fundamentals of their art and would never be able to fully grasp certain concepts that distinguished their art from others.
