Discover the synergy of martial arts training, internal energy cultivation, health nutrition, and modern supplementation to transform your mind, body, and spirit.

What is the Synergy Tao Wellness Guide?

At Synergy Tao, we believe true wellness comes from integrating four pillars: Balance, Flow, Strength, and Peace. These aren’t just ideals—they are practices rooted in martial arts, energy cultivation, mindful nutrition, and empowered lifestyle choices.

This guide is your introduction to a way of living that brings ancient wisdom into the modern world—with practical tools to help you get started today.

Part 1

Cultivate Vitality, Find Peace and balance you energies to start your day

What It Is:
Qigong is an ancient energy practice using breath, gentle movement, and focus to regulate your internal state. At Synergy Tao, we use it to unlock the Balance and flow of energy.

Benefits:

  • Lower stress, enhance immunity

  • Improve breathing, mobility, and emotional regulation

  • Connect to deeper awareness

Beginner Practice:

  • 3-Treasures Breathing

  • Standing Pole (Zhan Zhuang)

  • Ba Duan Jin Sequence

Quick Tip:

Just 5 minutes of Qigong a day can reset your nervous system and bring clarity to your mental state

Part 2

Nutrition to fuel the warrior within

Philosophy:
We eat to support not just our muscles, but our focus, recovery, and energy flow. You don’t need extreme diets—just intentional, balanced nutrition.

Synergy Tao Principles:

  • Eat a variety of foods and base meals on slow burning starchy carbs

  • Hydrate

  • Time meals around energy needs to set you up for the day and keep you going

Sample Daily Plan:

  • Morning: Herbal tea and slow burning energy rich breakfast, with carbs, protien, calcium

  • Optional low snack for quick energy top-up if levels have dipped

  • Lunch: Balanced light meal with wholegrain starchy carbssuch as wholegrain bread to top up energy levels

  • Dinner: Hot meal, with plenty of variety, rice/pasta/potatoes, leafy green veg, protein, fibre etc to balance your daily nutrition

Quick Tip:

Avoid eating heavy within 30 minutes of Qigong or Wing Chun—let your Qi flow without being diverted to processing a full stomach

Part 3

Wing Chun for Martial strength

What It Is:
Wing Chun is a close-range martial art that builds reflexes, discipline, and power from a relaxed, efficient posture. It’s not about brute force—it's about Strategy, structure and sensitivity.  It balances the both Yin and Yang elements in an effective self defence system.

Benefits:

  • Functional strength and improved posture

  • Mental clarity through focused training

  • Real-world self-defense and confidence

Beginner Practice:

  • The basic stance (Yee Jee Kim Yeung Ma)

  • Siu Nim Tau

  • Daily structure drill (like centreline punching, footwork, or matrix drills)

Quick Tip:

Practice 5 - 10 minutes of Siu Nim Tao each Day to Focus the mind, balance your energy and strengthen the body.

Part 4

Supplements - The old meets the new

Why Supplement?
Even the best diets can fall short. For martial artists and wellness seekers, a few targeted supplements are not to replace a balanced diet but when modern lifestyle choices or challenges affect our dietary routine supplements can:

  • Improve recovery and health

  • Support immunity and focus

  • Help maintain consistent nutrition
