Chanquanshu is a school that teaches techniques based upon Daoist principles of Internal Energy. There are five individual disciplines within the Chanquanshu School. The five disciplines are powerful tools that can transform an individual into a stronger person, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. Together the disciplines combine and compliment each other to the same end. Each discipline can be pursued as an individual discipline, or they can be combined in any order.
