Shigong Painter

Dr. John Painter is the man responsible for preserving Daoqiquan ("Martial Way of Vitality") and its component arts and transmitting them from the Li family lineage to several thousand students over the last 50 years. He travels twice every year to Saskatoon (the ends of the earth from his viewpoint, the centre of the universe from ours!) to share his very deep knowledge on health, vitality, and martial skills.

It is a rare opportunity to study with one of the world’s best living martial artists of the last half-century.
Dr. Painter inherited the entire Daoqiquan (“Martial Way of Vitality”) system from Li, Long-Dao and is, thus, the world’s authority on the Li Family Arts.
Join us and experience the magic of learning traditional Chinese Qigong and Martial Arts.
