THE DRAGON CANE IS FAR MORE THAN A WALKING STICK…

IT IS A LIVING EXPRESSION OF BALANCE.

In this Five Elements Dragon Cane workshop, we explore the dynamic relationship between Yin and Yang, and how their union reveals the true essence of the cane. The Yang aspect of the Dragon Cane is direct, protective, and powerful. It embodies self-defense, clear intention, and decisive action—qualities that cultivate confidence, presence, and personal safety. Yang teaches us how to stand our ground and respond with clarity when challenged. The Yin aspect of the cane is subtle, fluid, and deeply internal. Rooted in Tai Chi cane practice, Yin develops sensitivity, relaxation, structure, and flow. Through mindful movement, breath, and alignment, the cane becomes an extension of the body—calm, responsive, and efficient rather than forceful. When Yin and Yang are blended, the Dragon Cane comes alive. Softness informs strength. Stillness gives rise to action. The Five Elements framework further refines this balance, teaching adaptability, timing, and harmony with change. What emerges is not just a tool for movement or self-defense, but a practice integrating body, mind, and spirit. This workshop invites participants to experience the Dragon Cane as a complete system where internal awareness supports external effectiveness, and where balance transforms the cane into a powerful ally for health, confidence, and embodied wisdom.

All are welcome:

• Martial artists seeking refined power

• Tai Chi practitioners deepening internal connection

• New practitioners exploring self-defense, confidence, and mindful movement
