Enjoy a Healthy Mind, Body and Spirit! Welcome to the Located in Toledo, Ohio, we offer authentic classes in Kung Fu, Tai chi, Yoga, Shuai Chiao, Hsing-I, Pa-Kua, Chinese Kenpo, and Ch'an(Zen) Meditation. Anyone ages 4 to 104, with any level of experience and physical condition, can benefit from these traditional arts. Here's how classes at the Temple of the Dragon can change your life!
All of this in a traditional setting with traditional instructors in private and semi private classes under the leadership of Sifu Aaron Arden. Every student will receive top notch individual instruction no matter what their fitness levels are. We take pride in creating a plan for each student to steadily follow and complete their goals! The majority of martial arts, yoga and health centers today have unfortunately lost the traditional teachings - rooted in Zen Meditation, Yoga Sutras and Philosophy - that go along with the kicking, punching and body exercises. Without these teachings you are simply learning empty movement. Fortunately, a handful of martial arts schools do maintain the essential teachings that will help you cultivate your total mind, body and spirit. The Temple of the Dragon is among the very best of these schools. Our classes offer a complete mind, body and spirit development program if your primary goals include stress reduction, relaxation, optimal health and well-being, improved fitness, longevity, weight control, greater self-awareness, refinement of martial arts skills, better balance and coordination, true peace of mind and greater spiritual cultivation. If your goals include getting into the best physical shape of your life, learning top-notch self-defense and combat skills, learning strategies for self-protection, and developing the superior confidence, discipline, bravery and wisdom that traditional martial arts are known for, Our classes in Shaolin Kung Fu and Shaui Chiao Kung Fu (Chinese grappling) are for you. See for yourself how martial arts can help you achieve some of life's most meaningful gifts: Peace of mind, harmony, spiritual awakening, health and fitness, confidence, greater wisdom and compassion. Sign up for a free introductory lesson! When it comes to your well-being, don't just take our word for it Literally hundreds of scientific studies show that learning the arts of Tai Chi and Kung Fu can dramatically improve your health and well-being. For example: • "Tai Chi reduces stress responses, lowering the incidence of anxiety, depression, fatigue, and general mood disturbance." (Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 1989 Vol 33(2) 197-206) • "70% of all doctor's visits are due to stress." (Stress Management & Relaxation Technology, 1997) • "Research directly comparing the practice of martial arts with other physical activities suggests that martial arts training produces positive psychosocial changes that are greater in magnitude and diversity than those produced by many other physical activities." (Brad Binder, Phd., 1999,2007) • "Tai Chi boosts the immune system." (Prevention Magazine v.42 May 1990, p. 14-15) • Like Yoga, Tai Chi can "Slow the aging process..." (QiGong, The Art & Science of Chinese Energy Healing, Kenneth S. Cohen, Ballentine Books, NY, 1997) • Authentic Tai Chi "Improves postural control, while stretching toning, and relaxing the body in a cumulative way that no other exercise can achieve." (American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1992 Apr Vol 46 (4) 295-300) At The Temple of the Dragon you'll not only learn the physical side of each art, but also how to make healthy lifestyle choices that complement your training. These lifestyle factors include diet and nutrition, sleep habits, time management, exercise routines, reducing bad habits and unhealthy vices, associating with positive and optimistic people, being attuned to nature's cycles and living in accord with them, learning to be mindful of the moment, and many other factors.
