Cane Chi - Exercising with the Cane

Cane Chi was developed specifically to rebuild strength, flexibility and fitness, so the training begins with easy to follow routines. The low impact drills train muscles and joints with negligible stress on them. While the exercises are gentle enough to be done from a seated or prone position, they deliver proven strength and flexibility results. Resistance bands are included in strengths ranging from light to medium. Any Cane Chi workout can be intensified by replacing your resistance band with a higher resistance level band as you grow stronger and more fit.

As in martial arts training, the Cane Chi keeps your body in constant motion using its unique series of gentle circular physical exercises and stretches. Grandmaster Mark Shuey instructs through each slow, focused movement explaining the deep breathing that should accompany each. Though Cane Chi is considered a type of meditative movement, its moves differ from those in yoga.
