The Magic Tortoise School's Sponsorship of the

JOU, TSUNG HWA MEMORIAL
DANTIAN CHALLENGE

The Magic Tortoise School is sponsoring the "Dantian Challenge" to perpetuate the memory and teaching of Master Jou, Tsung Hwa. The challenge was originally issued to all taijiquan players by Master Jou to encourage us to focus on dantian development and energy cultivation.

Following the example of Yang Banhou, Master Jou practiced launching a penny in the air from his lower abdomen, and suggested that players strive for a height of at least one foot. He was greatly amused by this, and yet also serious, because the attainment of strong qi in the dantian is a stepping stone to internal power. To those who made even a little progress he would say: "Now you have some money in the bank!"

Please consider making a donation to the Dantian Challenge Fund. All donations will contribute directly to promoting and staging the Dantian Challenge now and in the future. Multiple donations are cumulative. We would like to thank the following donors for their generosity:
