Society LogoMo's Society of T'ai Chi & Acupuncture

Philip Mo, B.Sc., Doctor of Chinese Medicine, has been teaching T'ai Chi and related arts for over twenty years. In addition, he is also an accomplished fingertip acupuncturist and practitioner of Chinese herbal medicine. This "home page" for Mo's Society of T'ai Chi & Acupuncture provides information on the services and arts that are available.

The information provided by these pages is intended to provide only an overview. To learn more about these topics requires that you find a qualified teacher.

Instruction in our society is traditional, and is based on thousands of years of experience about teaching techniques that have been proven to be effective.

The term Sifu appears throughout these pages, as in Sifu Mo. The word means master or teacher.

The pages also refer to internal martial arts. These are systems that initially concentrate on the development of the internal energy often called Ch'i. This is in contrast to the external styles which initially focus on the production of muscular power.

Sifu Mo teaches internal martial arts and offers traditional Chinese healing at a variety of locations in and around Toronto. These include:

"Yield and overcome;
Bend and be straight;
Empty and be full;
Wear out and be new;
Have little and gain;
Have much and be confused."
