Tie Bu Shan: Ancient Healing Art for Modern Life
Tie Bu Shan, also known as Iron Vest, is a powerful, yet gentle health and eastern fitness system. Unlike Western workouts that focus mainly on muscles or cardio, Tie Bu Shan strengthens the tendons, organs, and energy systems of the body.
-
It supports recovery from overtraining, aging, or injury
-
It’s joint-friendly and ideal for seniors or anyone needing a low-impact practice
-
It builds a strong, flexible core and improves balance
-
It helps you relax deeply while still developing real, useful strength
-
It complements other workouts — especially weight training or martial arts
Over the years, many students have shared stories of feeling relief from issues they once believed required surgery. One client came in with severe carpal tunnel pain — after practicing Tie Bu Shan regularly, he no longer had any symptoms. While everyone’s experience is different, this practice continues to help people feel better in ways they didn’t expect.
Tie Bu Shan gently works your body from the inside out, massaging your organs, building tendon strength, and calming the nervous system. Many who practice it report better sleep, less pain, and more energy throughout the day.
If you've been searching for something that helps you feel better — not just look better — this ancient system might be what your modern life has been missing.
Classes are 6:30pm Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday's
Cost is only $15.00 per class
