DECODE – Internal Martial Arts & Contemplative Practice

DECODE is a research-based project dedicated to the study, practice, and transmission of Chinese internal martial arts and contemplative disciplines, adapted to modern life without losing their original depth.

Rooted in traditions such as Da Cheng Quan (Yi Quan), Taijiquan, and Baguazhang, and including the study of traditional Chinese weapons from Tong Bei Quan and Pi Gua Quan, DECODE integrates Qi Gong, Nei Gong, and body–mind cultivation to develop principles that are effective, transferable, and alive in both martial practice and daily life.

Our work emphasizes structural alignment, whole-body integration, elastic force, refined power generation, and the relationship between intention, perception, and movement. Beyond stylistic labels, we focus on contextual effectiveness and embodied understanding.
