This practice is rooted in the Süa Lag Hang tradition, brought from Thailand to Germany by Master Lao Vongvilay, a former Theravada monk. Originating in Buddhist monasteries, the art integrates mindful movement, martial principles, and philosophical reflection to support both physical integrity and inner stability.
Inspired by observations of nature and animal qualities such as strength, agility, presence, and composure, the practice develops awareness, discipline, and calm resilience. Training addresses the body and mind simultaneously, cultivating patience, clarity, and practical self-regulation.
Rather than focusing on performance or aggression, the practice emphasizes long-term physical integrity, efficient load management, and psychological steadiness. Didier integrates his physiotherapy and fascia-based clinical experience directly into the teaching of Taiji and Kung Fu, supporting daily function, reducing unnecessary tension, and fostering a calm, non-reactive presence.
