COURSE DESCRIPTION

(Theories, Points, Manipulations, and Therapeutics)

The Complete Courses of Tung’s Acupuncture offered in the U.S. is hosted by the World Association of Tung’s Acupunctureand will be taught by Dr. Wei-Chieh Young. Dr. Young will combine years of experience from Master Tung and himself with a lot of case studies supplemented by Chinese medicine theories in explaining Tung’s Acupuncture. The goals of this course are to enable the attendants to locate the Tung's points correctly and learn the theories, applications, and general therapeutics in a short time (See Past Seminars).

Dr. Wei-Chieh Young is one of few direct disciples of Master Tung that has been practicing Chinese medicine for nearly forty years without cessation, and is an expert in Nei Jing, Yi Jing and Shang Han Lun. He is a renowned author with many popular books in the fields of Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Nei Jing, and Yi Jing. He is the first Chinese medical doctor to introduce Tung’s Acupuncture to the world and have nearly forty years of teaching experience in Tung’s Acupuncture and the 14 channels.

Why Take This Course?

Real knowledge sometime can’t be received from books; it is through direct transmission that knowledge and techniques can be received. This requires being with the teacher and experiencing that person through observation and guided practice. Thus the subtle qualities of the senior practitioner can be received.

Why are the Complete Courses the pre-requisite to the Advanced Courses?

According to years of experience in instructing the Complete Courses and attendants' feedbacks, many students felt the fundamental courses was in depth and profound, not to mention the advanced courses. That is why we require completion of the fundamental class (the Complete Courses) before taking the advanced course; otherwise the participants might have difficulty following the class and therefore waste their precious time and money. This is particularly true for those traveling all the way from foreign countries (e.g. Asia, Europe); and we cannot bear for this situation to happen. In fact, the Complete Courses are sufficient and useful in clinical practice. Therefore we suggest one take the Complete Courses (fundamentals) first and if time allows in the future, join us for the advanced course.

Special Seminars

THE COMPLETE COURSE OF TUNG’S ACUPUNCTURE
This is a 4-day foundation course appropriate for TCM practitioners with many years to no experience in Tung’s Acupuncture. This class will start with an explanation of the theory behind Tung’s acupuncture using Nei Jing and Yi Jing. Then we will go into depth about each point: its location, indication, and theory. The goal of this course is to come away with a clear comprehension of the theory, location, and application of Tung’s points. This course will also be supplemented by many clinical case stories as well as demonstrations.
PREREQUISITE: This is the prerequisite for other advanced courses held by Dr. Young. This course is held typically once a year in June, given in Mandarin and translated to English.

THE ADVANCED COURSE IN TUNG’S ACUPUNCTURE
This is a 4-day advanced seminar in Tung’s Acupuncture. This course will offer advanced theory and look at therapeutic systems.
PREREQUISITE: You MUST HAVE completed the “Complete Course in Tung’s Acupuncture.” This course is typically held every other year around the second week of October. It is given in Mandarin by Dr. Young and translated to English.

ONE-NEEDLE THERAPY

PREREQUISITE: You MUST HAVE completed the “Complete Course in Tung’s Acupuncture.” This course is typically held once every other year around the second week of October. It is given in Mandarin by Dr. Young and translated to English.

SHANG HAN LUN
This is a special seminar on the application of commonly used herbal formulas in Shang Han Lun. Dr. Young taught on this topic only in PhD courses prior. This seminar was initiated after many requests this year and future scheduling for this course is indefinite. Though this is a three-day seminar, attendees will receive course handouts a month in advance to study at home. The home-study material will supplement a day’s worth of material to the three-day seminar to ensure grasp of the material. Dr. Young typically focuses on concept, proficiency and experience when teaching in schools; but this seminar will provide on technique, insights and innovations. PREREQUISITE: This course is held in Mandarin only at this time.

HANDS-ON TEACHING OF POINTS LOCATING
This is a new class added this year (2014) due to the request from students seeking more instruction in the locating and needling of Tung's points. In this class, the focus will be entirely on the practice of locating and needling points. Therefore students must have completed the Complete Course of Tung's Acupuncture prior to attending this course.
