CLASSIC ACUPUNCTURE
IS NOT TCM
Classic Acupuncture distinguishes itself by granting its student a true comprehension of the laws of energy.
Classic Acupuncture is first and foremost the study of Yin/Yang. Unfortunately, no TCM schools are able to teach this knowledge and deep understanding of the laws of energy to their students, because their tradition only goes back a few decades. TCM is a modern version of acupuncture which was stripped of its ancestral and essential elements during the political and ideological upheaval of Maoism.
​
Although TCM practitioners uses the same points and meridians as Classic Acupuncturists, they do not necessarily understand nor are able to draw on their energetic functions.
This simple difference is what makes Classic Acupuncture a much more effective and powerful healing modalities than any other form of acupuncture.
C.A.A. is one of the very few schools that can claim to teach authentic Classic Acupuncture.
We are able to trace our teaching to the Great Masters who had access to and transmitted this knowledge in the traditional fashion.
OUR
PROGRAM
From year one, you will have the opportunity to follow practical and hands-on seminars. These will enable you to learn how to apply therapy and put your learning into practice.
Our students are quickly able to use the many techniques at their disposal to balance a patient's energies.
​
After just six months of this course and once they have taken part into first the practical seminar, our students are able to get better results than most TCM trained acupuncturists.
​
Our teaching model is based on the methodical application of the traditional approach of the patient and the energy balance.
The unequalled efficacy and lasting results of Classic Acupuncture is what has allowed the Tradition to survive the millennia.
