COURSE DESCRIPTION

After the success of the Complete Course of Tung’s Acupuncture and due to great demand, we are pleased to announce we are hosting TWO Master Tung Workshops. The first workshop will be held on 8th – 10th June 2019 for beginner/intermediate students. The second workshop will be held on 14th – 16th June 2019 for more advanced students. Both workshops will be taught by Dr Michael Chong and will be taught in solely English.

The early bird price for this course is £594. This price is available until 15th April 2019.

After this date, the price of the course will be £660. Both workshops are the same price. Students are able to attend both courses if they wish.

Additional Information

Phoenix Academy had the pleasure of hosting the Complete Course of Tung’s Acupuncture in June 2018. The 4-day complete course was taught by Dr Wei Chieh Young and translated by Dr Michael Chong. It taught students the theory of Master Tung’s points – focusing on theories, methods, locations and manipulations.

The course sold-out and was a huge success. Due to high demand, we have invited Dr Michael Chong back to the UK to teach a workshop, focusing on not just the theory but the practical element of Tung’s points.

As this course is taught in English only, the teaching will be seamless. Dr Chong is fluent in English and has been teaching Tung’s points for 25 years. This year, there will be more contents and additional demonstrations and case studies. Students will also have more opportunities for question and answer sessions with Dr Chong and fellow students. Students are able to attend both workshops if they choose.

Beginner workshop: This workshop is targetted at students who are new to Tung’s acupuncture. It will focus on the essential points and how to use them within the clinic. Dr Chong will not only teach the theory of the points but also use demonstrations and case studies.

Advanced workshop: This workshop is suitable for those who attended the previous Tung’s course last year/those who have studied the points before. Dr Chong will go into more depth regarding the points as well as how to treat specific ailments.

Please scroll down for the full timetable for both workshops. 

Dr Michael Chong

Dr Chong is just one of 4 of Dr Young’s official disciples. Although many have learnt under Dr Young, he has only 4 hand-picked students. Due to other commitments, Dr Young will not be able to attend this workshop. However, this course is recognised and approved by Dr Young himself, unlike many other Tung courses. Dr Michael has been studying, working and translating with Dr Young for over 25 years and has outstanding expertise.

Dr Michael Chong

Dr Michael Chong received his Doctorate in Chinese Medicine from Tianjin University and has been a disciple of Dr Young for over 25 years. He has spent decades studying and researching Tung’s Acupuncture, as well as touring Asia, Europe and Canada with Dr Young translating and assisting his teachings.

Dr Chong is currently living and working in Canada, teaching the Tung needling technique and establishing Bema Botanicals. He is fluent in both Mandarin Chinese and English.

Great expertise

Dr Michael Chong has been studying and working directly with Dr Wei Chieh Young for over 25 years. Dr Young was just one of 73 apprentices taken on by Master Tung in 1973 and he has since shared his knowledge and expertise with Dr Chong. Dr Michael is able to teach Tung’s points in both Chinese and English so knows the content inside out!

Specialist knowledge

Tung’s Acupuncture focuses on using fewer needles, usually around 6, with instant pain relief. By attending this masterclass, you are able to develop your knowledge and skills, meaning you are able to offer more services to your patients. Very few practitioners will have this exposure the Tung’s method, setting you apart from other acupuncturists, benefiting your career and skills.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

All attendees of the event will receive a CPD certificate which counts towards your CPD. The masterclass will develop and enhance your abilities meaning it is recognised by the CPD. Students will receive 24 hours of CPD once they have completed the workshop.

How long is the duration of this course?

Both workshops are 3 days long. The courses will run for the duration of the 3 days, from 9 am until 6 pm with scheduled refreshment breaks and a one-hour lunch break.

Is this course suitable for me?

This course is suitable for acupuncturists, herbalists and TCM practitioners.

We are offering 2 workshops: one for beginners/those who haven’t learnt the Tung method previously and one for more advanced practitioners/those who attended last years course.

The workshops will benefit beginner and advanced acupuncturists develop their skills and understanding as they are taught by one of the master’s apprentices, using methods that require a smaller amount of needles, meaning it can be adapted and learnt slightly quicker.

Please note: both courses will be taught in English only.

Is this event likely to happen again?

We are unsure whether or not we are able to host this event again. Dr Micheal Chong is extremely busy and we are very privileged to have him in the UK. If we receive high enough demand for future courses, we may be able to introduce future courses, depending on Dr Chong’s schedule.

Please note: there are just 50 spaces available on each course. We expect this event to sell out extremely quickly.

Course dates

The beginner workshop will be held from Saturday 8th –  Monday 10th June 2019.

The advanced workshop will be held from Friday 14th – Sunday 16th June 2019.

The workshops will last the duration of the 3 days, from 9am until 6pm with scheduled refreshment breaks and a one-hour lunch break.

Course fees

The early bird price for this course is £594. This price is available until 15th April 2019.

After this date, the price of the course will be £660. Both workshops are the same price. Students are able to attend both courses if they wish.
