Five Tigers Martial Arts

Donald and Cheryl Lynne Rubbo have been providing Guang Ping Yang Tai Chi, Chi Gung and Shao Lin classes to the Marin County community since 1990. Their classes focus on health enhancement and stress reduction for all levels of students. They are committed to providing to their community methods and techniques to increase the quality of their lives. In addition to their regular adult classes they are running a weekly Chi Gung class for cancer patients. Donald Rubbo, a California State Certified Martial Arts Teacher, is currently teaching the Chi Gung course at Alive & Well! and The Institute of Conscious BodvWork.

Donald and Cheryl Lynne also run a Martial Arts Summer Day Camp. Their camp is for children ages 6-14, and they offer a summer of growth and fun where children develop greater self esteem and confidence through basic Shao Lin martial arts practice, as well as other health enhancing techniques. Their well rounded program also includes hiking. swimming, arts & crafts, and other special kinesthetic activities (with instructors from other movement disciplines). Their goal at Five Tigers Martial Arts Summer Day Camp is to develop the unique individual skills of each child, directing them toward becoming productive members of their community. They train children from their community to be Instructor-Assistants and Counselors-In-Training free of charge. Upon completion of the training program they will then be active participants in the summer day camp.

The Five Tigers Martial Arts is located at 60 Ridge Ave.. San Rafael. CA 94901. Call (415) 456-9095 for more information.

"Develop your strength until it is as resilient as highly tempered steel to which nothing is invulnerable. Poise your body like a hawk ready to pounce upon a rabbit, and alert your spirit like a cat ready to surprise a mouse. Where there is no motion, let it be as inert as the immobility of a mountain; where there is, let it be as fluid and adaptable to circumstances as rivers are to gradients. Store up your energy like the bending of a bow, and release it like shooting the arrow. Thus we see how the tortuous begets the straight forward--the more the bow is bent, the straighter speeds the arrow. There can be no release of anything without first accumulating it. (from Tai Chi Chuan in Theory and Practice by Kuo Lien Ying)
