On Feb. the 18th and 19th, Sifu Ariel Betti & Sifu Mohamed Gha held an exclusive Tai Chi Chuan workshop for willing participants. Tunisia finally saw a break in the cold weather, as the two warmest days of winter shined on the event with a gracious radiance. The atmosphere was conducive to friendly exercise and challenging calisthenics. The theme of the workshop was the main animals represented in Tai Chi Chuan; such as the Tiger, Swan, Cock, Snake, Monkey and Bear. These postures were worked on in conjunction with an assortment of two man drills, which kept the flow of the workshop moving smoothly.

The second day, more practitioners showed up to take part in the fun and games. The ambiance was geared toward group activities and participation, as the mood seemed ecstatic and electrifying. Both Sifu Ariel Betti, and Sifu Mohamed Gha demonstrated an extraordinary amount of professionalism, as their hands on assistance with individuals and extreme patience, in union with their eclectic teaching abilities, made the workshop exciting and unique. The event ended with lots of smiles and good photo's, as most of us headed out soon after mid day for a hearty bite to eat.

This website was created to incite interactive-diaglogue with Fight-Science (Boxing, Kung Fu, Internal Martial Arts) practitioners around the world. In the wake of the IMA boom across the Western Hemisphere (sometime around the early 90's) scholars and researchers have cast an introspective looking-glass upon Chinese culture and philosophy, to help dissertate knowledge concerning: health, exercise and self defense.

Tai Chi Chuan, Baguzhang and Xingyi (the three martial treasures) remain fixed on the pedestal of Chinese excellences, in conjunction with the, rich, deeply-rooted practices of Nei-gung and Chi Gung (Qigong.) Ancient Chinese monks were forever contemplating the elevation of the human spirit through breath control, physical disciplines, and patterned movements; to stave off the onset of depravity, sickness & geriatric atrophy.

Fightmonks is abundantly dedicated to the unveiling of methods and techniques of Pugilism, in the spirit of science, to further educate and enlighten mankind, so that we may become more in tune with our mind, body, and soul--finding a deeper harmony, which may strike a common cord with people of different ethnicity, culture, & creed.
