EDGED WEAPONS
THE USE OF SHARP EDGED WEAPONS IS AN INTRINSIC PART OF HUMAN EVOLUTION AND ITS STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL. IT HAS GENERATED A FASCINATION THAT HAS REMAINED WITH US IN MODERN TIMESs
In Pa-Kua Edged Weapons, we train martial art with knives, sabers, swords and spears, developing order, courage and respect on the part of all practicing students.
These are the most disciplined and structured classes in Pa-Kua; this is necessary so that we can introduce ourselves to combat techniques with cutting weapons gradually and forcefully. We start with the curved saber and knives, advancing each time in the training of various weapons of greater technical complexity, such as the handling of the Jian sword, spear and others.
In this way we train the body and the mind, developing our capabilities to the fullest and obtaining greater self-control and discipline in a safe environment for practitioners.
ARCHERY
THE TRUE ANCIENT CHINESE TRADITION OF THE BOW AND ARROWS
Learn, practice and enjoy the traditional techniques of intuitive eastern archery.
In the weekly classes we will study two principal points of archery: meditative and combat, thus developing the body and the mind.
Practicing meditative shots helps achieve a high level of introspection and reduces stress. With the training of combat archery, we make shots in various static and moving positions, increasing our strength and agility.
MARTIAL ART
LEARN HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF IN A PRATICAL AND EXCITING MANNER
Pa-Kua is one of the most complete Martial Art in the world, because it encompasses a huge range of combat techniques (foot, hand, elbow and knees, throws, levers, torsions, holds, hangings and subjugations) in a non- competitive framework of respect and discipline.
In our classes, students do not get hurt or hit each other unnecessarily. But they learn to defend themselves in an implacable, effective and lethal way. In Pa-Kua Martial Arts, knowledge and technique overcome brute force and violence. Our Instructors and Teachers are trainers of character and people with discipline and mental strength.
Initially the student learns simple linear techniques for self-defense. At its most advanced levels, Pa-Kua's characteristic circular techniques are incorporated, which allows the practitioner to effectively face stronger and larger opponents, even if there is more than one.
PA-KUA CHI
EXPAND YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ENERGY WAYS TO PROMOTE WELLBEING
Pa-Kua Chi is the study of the microbodies, which is each part of our body as a reflection of the whole, to perform harmonizing self-massage.
Pa-Kua Chi is the study of the more traditional techniques of energetic harmonization and manipulation from the East
In the classes, we will perform a wide variety of movements of elongation and energy enhancement that will condition our physique, breathing exercises and meditation.
All these tools will allow us to harmonize in different ways, to improve our quality of life.

In the weekly classes, we practice strikes, blocks and other techniques taken from our martial arts form. By training aerobically and to the rhythm of the music we created a great form of physical training in a fun and entertaining way.
Pa-Kua Rhythm training is fun and intense, ideal for getting fit, losing weight and learning to defend yourself.

OUR VIRTUES
Antes do início no Pa-Kua sempre fui sedentário e sempre tive problemas de auto estima com o meu corpo. Como desde pequeno tinha parado de praticar atividades físicas acabei desenvolvendo medo de quedas, saltos além de uma resistência física muito baixa. O Pa-Kua mudou muito todos estes medos na minha vida, além de autoconfiança e uma mudança radical de saúde. Pa-Kua também ajudou no processo de autoconhecimento, desde conhecimento físico/fisiológico sobre meu próprio corpo ao conhecimento do meu estado psicológico. Outro aspecto muito relevante sobre a inserção do Pa-Kua na minha vida foi conseguir trazer meus pais para a prática. Ambos iniciaram a praticar após uma longa insistência minha e isso aumentou muito a qualidade de vida deles.
O Tai Chi do Pa-Kua foi um grande achado na minha vida. Sempre gostei de práticas como meditação, mas por vezes tinha dificuldade em me concentrar e estar no momento presente. Com a fluidez e leveza do Tai Chi, consigo me concentrar nos movimentos, treinar equilíbrio, respiração e ainda é um super complemento para minha prática de arte marcial. Tem sido excelente para minha ansiedade. Super recomendo!
Pa-Kua me ajudou a ter mais confiança em mim mesma, a pensar antes de agir ou falar alguma coisa, a trabalhar em equipe. Como Mestre e dona de recinto aprendi a lidar com diferentes tipos de pessoas, a olhar com empatia os problemas dos outros e buscar formas de auxiliar no seu crescimento pessoal. Pa-Kua me ensinou a diferença entre líder e chefe, e aprendi como comandar as situações permitindo ainda assim que os outros cresçam e se desenvolvam da sua própria maneira e no seu próprio ritmo.
Pa-Kua se tornou parte da minha vida no ano passado, foi o lugar onde encontrei mais que amigos ou colegas, encontrei uma família, pude fazer atividades que me trazem coragem, confiança e auto estima, não consigo imaginar minha vida sem o Pa-Kua depois de tantos momentos lindos e realizações que tive aqui!
Comencé Pa-Kua en 1998, con 15 años de edad, con el objetivo de aprender a defenderme y divertirme. Luego de 25 años puedo decir que el Conocimiento Pa-Kua me ha ayudado en las mas variadas y dispares situaciones de la vida diaria y me permite también ayudar a otras personas. Me ha ayudado a conocerme más en profundidad y a tener la confianza necesaria para enfrentar el camino elegido. ¡La vida es una aventura!, y qué mejor que vivirla con las personas que comparten el mismo camino.
Há pouco mais de 2 anos estou aprendendo a me conhecer. Através das aulas de Yoga e de Acrobacia comecei a perceber do que sou capaz de realizar, sempre superando limites. Também adquiri mais foco e concentração. O ambiente da escola de Pa-Kua é acolhedor e amigável, sempre me sinto muito bem lá. É um lugar onde me conecto com corpo e mente e me mantenho saudável em todos os sentidos.
Iniciei no Pa-Kua há 21 anos, no meu pais natal (Argentina), nesse momento estava atravessando uma depressão profunda e o Pa-Kua me ajudou a seguir em frente, me fortaleceu como pessoa e como mulher. Fui descobrindo minha fortaleza, que eu era muito mas capaz do que achava. Hoje estou morando no Brasil, tenho minha escola e me dedico por intero a dar aulas desta arte maravilhosa - que também me ajudou a descobrir quem eu sou.
Pa-Kua ist mehr als nur ein Sport, es ist eine Familie in der wir uns gegenseitig unterstützten und weiterbringen. Die gemeinsame Zusammenarbeit über verschieden Kontinente sowie das physische Training sind der Grundstein für den eigenen Wachstum und das durchbrechen des Stillstandes. Pa-Kua hilft mir, selber zu wachsen, Menschen zu lernen und etwas dem Universum und der Welt zurück zu geben. Das Erlernen der Kunst der Wandlung fasziniert mich bis heute und fordert mich täglich dazu auf weiter zu lernen.
