Blend the Flow of Tai Chi with the Flexibility of Yoga

Master teacher David-Dorian Ross has studied both tai chi and hatha yoga for over forty years. Tai Chi Fusion: BAMBOO is the blending of these two ancient mind-body practices, which perfectly complement each other.

Bruce Lee once said, “Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo survives by bending with the wind.”

The Bamboo workout is the blending of water and wood. The water element will help you discover a deeper level of flow, giving you a delicious infusion of qi energy. The wood element is expressed by the flexible movements of hatha yoga.

Filmed in a beautiful bamboo forest in Hawaii, this workout will make your body supple, and your tai chi movements relaxed—just like bamboo trees waving in the wind.

Growth in tai chi can’t be forced; you must learn to let go. In this workout, you will experience the principle of surrender. This will help you extend and stretch your body and mind, like a bamboo tree reaching for the sky.

Belief Matters: Why does belief matter? To what do we give our hearts? What is the core message of what we believe—creeds or commitment? To what extent is to believe also "to belove"?

The Bible Matters: The Bible is our collective story. How is that story reflected in our daily lives? What is it about the Bible that always seems to address our present moment?

Community Matters: In community, individualism and imperfection meet grace and acceptance. What is our part in the Body of Christ?

Place Matters: In what ways is faith set within the physical space of home, church, land and people?

We Matter: What it means to remain in God's image and to counter our selfishness by embracing the world and its needs?

Wudang Sword Revealed

Learn the legend and history of Wudang sword, conditioning drills, the Tai Yi Daoist Sword sequence and martial applications.

Since ancient times, Wudang martial artists have earned prestige for their mastery of the sword. Wudang-style sword uses flowing, circular movements to neutralize incoming attacks and redirect the opponent's power. This program comprehensively instructs Wudang Sword for the first time in both English and Chinese.

The sword is the king of all weapons, and to wield it requires an unparalleled level of skill. Unlike other weapons which use brute force to clash and overpower, your sword techniques must be precise, and your movements light and quick. Wudang Sword training will make your body stronger and more flexible and will increase your speed and endurance. Regular practice increases and refines your Qi (energy) and develops a calm and focused mind.

This program begins by discussing the legend and history of the Chinese sword. Next, it offers practical information on sword care and safety. The principles of Wudang sword are discussed and fundamental conditioning drills are presented. The Tai Yi Daoist Sword sequence is demonstrated in detail, making it easy for the viewer to learn. Each posture is then instructed separately with martial applications.

Tai Chi Class Specifically for Women

When you look at the balance of fitness routines recommended for health and longevity, it turns out that most of them were designed for men. They fit men’s personalities, muscle structure and physique. Fitness programs for women have often just been watered down men’s workouts. But women have different needs when it comes to health and fitness. In this program, David-Dorian Ross guides you through a Tai Chi workout designed especially for women.

Women, more than men, need a workout that both strengthens the bones and calms the immune system. Women are far more susceptible to autoimmune diseases than men, including

• multiple sclerosis, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and psoriasis
• osteoporosis, or thinning bones, which affects your hormones

This short Tai Chi routine can be a perfect daily workout for women. It promotes balance, coordination, and strength, supports the immune system, and raises your spirit. The best news is that there is nothing to “learn” in this program. You won’t have to memorize a complicated routine or keep working to perfect any movement. Just follow us for fun, and you’ll experience the healing benefits of Tai Chi.

Learn reality-based self-defense from easy to advance with Master Joe Varady PhD.

This 2-DVD set provides you with a condensed system of distilled self-defense skills and techniques, each carefully selected for its reliability in a high-stress environment. Topics include situational awareness, avoidance, and how to take action, should you need to physically defend yourself.

Martial arts, combat sports, and self-defense are different realms; although interconnected, they are not entirely the same. This video can help bridge that gap.

This curriculum is streamlined and divided into nine logical stages of training that allow martial artists as well as those with no formal fighting experience to learn and develop reliable skills for self-defense quickly and methodically.

While training in the martial arts or competitive combat sports can aid you in a self-defense situation, it does not prepare you for those aspects that are unique to actual self-defense.

The video begins with the basics, upon which everything else relies—awareness, avoidance, and anticipation skills—before moving on to building a reliable arsenal of self-defense techniques. You will progress through a series of carefully selected actions for high-stress situations. The aim of this curriculum is to improve confidence and skills in a structured and logical way.

Topics include

• Awareness skills, including situational, spatial, and environmental
• Avoidance skills to deal with fear, escape, and de-escalation
• Anticipation skills for being approached, posturing, and reading body language
• Action arsenal, including targeting, striking, yelling, evading, and countering
• Advanced arsenals for dealing with ground fighting, weapons, and multiple attackers

Whether you are just starting out or have been practicing martial arts for years, there are important self-defense skills in this video for everyone.

DVD 1: Introduction, Awareness, Avoidance, De-escalation, Anticipation, Building an Arsenal, Action!, Dirty Tricks

DVD 2: Takedowns, Ground Fighting, Weapons, Multiple Attackers, Conclusion

DAY OF OUTRAGE: JANUARY 6: THE REAL STORY (DVD) is a powerful film that details the events related to the Capitol siege of January 6, 2021.

This film presents powerful video footage of the protests and riots that took place on that fateful day, as well as a careful examination of the events that led up to it. 

Award-winning director and producer, Jack Thomas Smith, takes a unique look at what happened before, during, and after the events that shook America, revealing what some have described as cruel and unusual punishment against some protesters following their arrests.

Unedited. Unchanged. Unlike ever before.

The latest of the four-part film series which, word for word, recreates the gospels in their entirety through the most authentic portrayal to-date.

Breaking the cinematic tradition of Jesus being played by a white, English speaking actor, the Lumo project pours its efforts to create the truest account of the four Gospels as possible. Using the very latest digital technology to create seamless miracles and realistic re-buildings of Jerusalem, as well as other towns and cities, the four-part series is able to do more than was ever possible before.

Not only with computers do the people behind the Lumo Project create a tangible 1st century Holy Land. Using the latest research in history, theology, and archaeology, they are able to create a series filled with a rugged authenticity.

Despite all the technological wizardry and thorough research, there is one thing that is always kept at the heart of these adaptations:

The Gospel.

Each film present's the text of its Gospel unedited. No words changed, added, or taken away.

They are simply narrated in both NIV and KJv by famed actors David Thelfall (Master and Commander) and Stephen Tompkinson (Wild at Heart) as the film's population all speak in the correct, era-appropriate, Hebrew.

Word-for-word becomes frame for frame.

The Gospel of John faithfully re-creates the stories of John's gospel with narration from veteran actors Brian Cox (Troy, the Bourne films) and David Harewood (Blood Diamond, Homeland).

Shot on location in Morocco, this first film in the Lumo Project series uses on location filming in Morocco and a multi-million pound budget to create the most authentic bible portrayal so far.

All the actors speak in the original Aramaic language, and wear costumes in line with the period. The movie uses the 'latest theological, historical and archaeological research' to show with authenticity the fourth gospel.

The Lumo Project's goal is to film all four of the gospels in the most realistic and authentic way possible. Sharing the gospels for a visual age is the Lumo Project's mission and goal. Told with cutting-edge computer generated settings, the latest historical findings, and a beautiful cinematic scope, this series aims to redefine how we see the Gospels in the visual age.

Accurate and cinematic, The Gospel of John is the first of four new films to recreate fully the life of Jesus.
