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.</P> <P>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.</P> <P>Instruction in our society is <B>traditional</B>, and is based on thousands of years of experience about teaching techniques that have been proven to be effective. </P> <P>The term <B>Sifu</B> appears throughout these pages, as in <U>Sifu Mo</U>. The word means <B>master</B> or <B>teacher</B>. </P> <P>The pages also refer to <B>internal</B> martial arts. These are systems that initially concentrate on the development of the internal energy often called <B>Ch'i</B>. This is in contrast to the <B>external</B> styles which initially focus on the production of muscular power.</P> <P>Sifu Mo teaches internal martial arts and offers traditional Chinese healing at a variety of locations in and around Toronto. These include:</P> <UL> <LI>Hart House at the University of Toronto: primarily for people associated with the University of Toronto.</LI> <LI>The society's main studio: open to all.</LI> </UL> <P>Sifu Mo has been teaching T'ai Chi Chuan at Hart House at the University of Toronto for over 20 years.

He is also an accomplished fingertip acupuncturist and practitioner of Chinese herbal medicine.</P> <P><IMG SRC="Images/cheung.jpg" ALT="Sift Cheung Wing Kwong" ALIGN="RIGHT" WIDTH="193" HEIGHT="275" BORDER="0">He began learning <B>T'ai Chi Chuan</B> at the age of 12 in Hong Kong. At first, he studied two different styles, Wu and Yang, but soon chose to concentrate on the Wu style, under the tutelage of Sifu Cheung Wing Kwong. </P> <P>In the years that followed, Sifu Mo became expert at the various subjects of T'ai Chi: sword, sabre, boxing, wrestling and others. Among these were the esoteric art of <B>Ch'i Kung</B>, a practice that develops a powerful internal energy useful for health, healing, and self-defence. With this discipline as a basis, Sifu Mo studied traditional Chinese medicine, including acupuncture, finger-tip acupuncture, herbal remedies, and internal healing.</P> <P>In addition to these accomplishment, Sifu Mo has also studied other martial arts. Until his mid-twenties, he studied three other styles. He learned <B>Pa Kua</B> and <B>Hsing-I</B>, two other 'internal' styles similar in philosophy and approach to <B>T'ai Chi Chuan</B>. For interest, he also learned about Lost Track Kung Fu, a style differing radically from the slow fluid movements of <B>T'ai Chi</B> in its hard, 'external' approach</P> <P>Although he graduated in 1964 with a degree in Civil Engineering, Sifu has chosen to work as a professional T'ai Chi teacher. In 1982 he was certified to practice traditional Chinese medicine in Canada, and has a thriving private practice.</P> <P>In addition to teaching at the main studio in Toronto's downtown Chinatown, Sifu Mo teaches at Hart House of the University of Toronto, the Globe and Mail newspaper, Sunnybrook Hospital, and the John G. Althouse Community School in Etobicoke. He also accepts private students.</P> <P>Finally, he is a cofounder and currently a Director, Honorary President and Vice Chairperson of the <B>Canadian Chinese Kuo Shu (Martial Arts) Foundation</B>; the Foundation's web site is <A HREF="http://www.wushu.com">http://www.wushu.com</A>.</P><HR> <H2>Courses and Workshops</H2> <P>The Mo Society has regular courses of study and from time to time offers special workshops on particular topics.</P> <H3>Courses of Study</H3> <P>At present, we are giving two continuing courses of study:</P> <UL> <LI><B>Traditional Wu Style T'ai Chi Chuan</B>.

The photograph to the right shows Sifu Mo practicing <B>Pa Kua</B>.</P> <P><B>Pa Kua</B> derives its philosophy and name from the eight primary trigrams of the <B>Book of Changes</B> or <B>I Ching</B>. Sometimes used as an oracle, the <B>I Ching</B> represents the interplay of Yin (the broken lines) and Yang (the solid lines) through the relationships between the trigrams, and was called the "experimental basis of Chinese philosophy" by C.G. Jung. <B>Pa Kua</B> expresses these relationships through circular motions of deflection and return. Thus, it is characterised by the movement of the body in large circles while the hands move in small circles. The following figure shows the relationships of the trigrams in the "Inner World" or temporal arrangement.</P> <P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="Images/trigrams.gif" ALT="Inner World trigram relationships" WIDTH="520" HEIGHT="371"></P><HR> <H2>Hsing-I Chuan</H2> <P><IMG SRC="Images/hsingyi.jpg" ALT="Hsing-I by Sifu Mo" ALIGN="RIGHT" WIDTH="183" HEIGHT="127" BORDER="0"><B>Hsing-I</B> <B>Chuan</B> was developed nearly one thousand years ago during the <B>Northern Sung Dynasty</B> in China and is one of the most famous of the original internal martial arts. <B>Hsing-I Chuan</B> translates to "form and intention hand" or "body-mind hand".

Thus, <U>implicitly</U>, self defense instruction is occurring by teaching the form, and self defense is being learned by practicing the form.</P> <P><U>Explicit</U> instruction in self defense, then, involves the student learning and practicing the actual application of a move from the form, usually with a partner.</P> <P>An additional technique is called <B>push hands</B>, and involves working with a partner to give and take internal energy in a natural effortless fashion.</P><HR> <H1>Other Resources</H1> <H2>Web Sites</H2> <P>To properly learn any of the internal martial arts requires access to a qualified teacher.

Nonetheless, for reference, we give such a list below for Wu Style T'ai Chi.</P> <P>Traditionally, such a listing breaks the form down into 108 moves, For ease of learning Sifu Mo has expanded this to 123 moves. Also for learning purposes, each move is broken down further. For example,the sixth move in the form is called <I>Flying Oblique</I>; it is broken down into three parts, which are counted as <I>1</I>, <I>2</I>, <I>3</I>. The first part is divided further into two pieces, <I>A</I>, and <I>B</I>; the second part is only is only one thing; the third part is divided into three pieces, <I>A</I>, <I>B</I> and <I>C</I>.</P> <OL TYPE="1"> <LI> Opening movement (1) </LI> <LI> First steps (3) </LI> <LI> Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Grasp birds tail (2) </LI> <LI> Single whip (1) </LI> <LI> Flying oblique (1) </LI> <LI> Raise hands and step up (2) </LI> <LI> White stork flaps its wings (2) </LI> <LI> Brush knee, twist step (4) </LI> <LI> Hand strums the lute(2) </LI> <LI> Step up, parry and punch (2) </LI> <LI> Shutting a door (1) </LI> <LI> Carry tiger to mountain (1) </LI> <LI><B>1<SUP>st</SUP> Cross Hands (1) </B></LI> <LI> Oblique, brush knee, twist step (1) </LI> <LI> Turn around, brush knee, twist step (1) </LI> <LI> Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Grasp birds tail (2) </LI> <LI> Diagonal single whip(1) </LI> <LI> Fist under elbow (1) </LI> <LI> Back brush knee, twist step (3) </LI> <LI> (2<SUP>nd</SUP>) Flying oblique (1) </LI> <LI> Raise hands and step up (2) </LI> <LI> White stork flaps its wings (2) </LI> <LI> Brush knee, twist step (1) </LI> <LI> Needle at bottom of the sea (2) </LI> <LI> Fan through the back(2) </LI> <LI> Turn body, throw fist (1) </LI> <LI> Step back, parry and punch (2) </LI> <LI> Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Step up, grasp birds tail (2) </LI> <LI> Single whip (1) </LI> <LI> Cloud arms (5) </LI> <LI> Single whip (1) </LI> <LI> High pat the horse, left (2) </LI> <LI> Body facing left (1) </LI> <LI> Spread right leg (1) </LI> <LI> High pat the horse, right (1) </LI> <LI> Body facing right (1) </LI> <LI> Spread left leg (1) </LI> <LI> Pivot body 180 <SUP>0</SUP>  Raise left heel (1) </LI> <LI> Brush knee, twist step (2) </LI> <LI> Step forward and punch (1) </LI> <LI> Turn body, throw fist (1) </LI> <LI> Step up  High pat the horse, left (1) </LI> <LI> Body facing left (1) </LI> <LI> Raise straight right leg (1) </LI> <LI> Retreat to seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Retreat step, beat the tiger (1) </LI> <LI> Open  Swing right leg (1) </LI> <LI> Strike ears with fist (1) </LI> <LI> Body facing right (1) </LI> <LI> Raise straight left leg (1) </LI> <LI> Pivot body 360 <SUP>0</SUP>  Raise right heel (1) </LI> <LI> Throw fist (1) </LI> <LI> Step up, parry and punch (2) </LI> <LI> Shutting a door (1) </LI> <LI> Carry tiger to mountain (1) </LI> <LI><59.><B> 2<SUP>nd</SUP> Cross hands</B> (1) </LI> <LI> Oblique, brush knee, twist step (1) </LI> <LI>Turn around, brush knee, twist step (1)</LI> <LI> Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Grasp birds tail (2) </LI> <LI> Diagonal single whip(1) </LI> <LI> Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Parting wild horses mane, left (1) </LI> <LI> Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Parting wild horses mane, left (1) </LI> <LI>Step up  Parting wild horses mane, right (1) </LI> <LI>Step up  Parting wild horses mane, left (1) </LI> <LI> Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Parting wild horses mane, left (1) </LI> <LI>Step up  (1<SUP>st</SUP>) Jade girl works the shuttle, left (2) </LI> <LI>Turn around  (2<SUP>nd</SUP>) Jade girl works the shuttle, right (2) </LI> <LI> Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Parting wild horses mane, left (1) </LI> <LI>Step up  (3<SUP>rd</SUP>) Jade girl works the shuttle, left (2) </LI> <LI>Turn around  (4<SUP>th</SUP>) Jade girl works the shuttle, right (2) </LI> <LI> Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Grasp birds tail (2) </LI> <LI> Single whip (1) </LI> <LI> Cloud arms (5) </LI> <LI> Single whip (1) </LI> <LI> Snake creeps down (2) </LI> <LI> Golden cockerel stands on left leg (1) </LI> <LI>Golden cockerel stands on right leg (1) </LI> <LI> Back brush knee, twist step (2) </LI> <LI> Side step  (3<SUP>rd</SUP>) Flying oblique (1)</LI> <LI> Raise hands and step up (2) </LI> <LI> White stork flaps its wings (2) </LI> <LI> Brush knee, twist step (1) </LI> <LI> Needle at bottom of the sea (2) </LI> <LI> Fan through the back(2) </LI> <LI> Turn body, throw fist (1) </LI> <LI> Step up, parry and punch (2) </LI> <LI> Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Step up, grasp birds tail (2) </LI> <LI> Single whip (1) </LI> <LI> Cloud arms (5) </LI> <LI>Single whip (1) </LI> <LI>High pat the horse, left (1) </LI> <LI>Slap the face (1) </LI> <LI>Turn body - Lotus leg cross (1) </LI> <LI>Brush knee, twist step (1) </LI> <LI>Step up  Straight centre punch (1) </LI> <LI>Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI>Step up, grasp birds tail (2) </LI> <LI>Single whip (1) </LI> <LI>Snake creeps down (2) </LI> <LI>Step up to form seven stars (1) </LI> <LI>Retreat step, ride the tiger </LI> <LI>Pivot body, slap the face (1) </LI> <LI>Turn body  Lotus leg swing </LI> <LI>Curve bow shoot the tiger (1) </LI> <LI>Step up  High pat the horse, left (1) </LI> <LI>Slap the face </LI> <LI>Turn body, throw fist (1) </LI> <LI>Step up  High pat the horse, left (1) </LI> <LI>Seven stars (1) </LI> <LI> Step up, grasp birds tail (2) </LI> <LI> Single whip (1) </LI> <LI> Closing (1) </LI> <LI>Completion</LI> </OL> <HR> <P>This document is Copyright © 1999, 2000 Philip Mo.
