The techniques of gongfu medicine taught in the association give the students techniques with which they can take better care of themselves, their fellow students and their loved ones. Practicing these techniques is considered an essential counter-balance to time spent focused on martial arts, which, by definition, involve the contemplation and practice of inflicting grievous harm.
