About Us

Sevangee is derived from the Sanskrit word “seva+angee” which means ‘body of work’ or a regime. In this case a regime of practice and training for the development of the self. Sevangee also corroborates with the concept of Yin & Yang, where ‘seva‘ is yang and ‘angee‘ is yin.

Doing ‘seva’ without any expectation gives an effect of hollowness, emptiness, and so also ‘angee’, which means the body is basically hollow, empty. As Buddha said, “All dharmas are full of emptiness – emptiness exists at everything’s core, emptiness exists in a star, a rock, a body or a tree“. This emptiness is pure (what the Buddha called – Shunyata). It is so powerful that anyone coming under its impact, near it, or within its vicinity will be pulled into this emptiness to be collapsed. This is because emptiness is powerful, immense, it has potential, it is enormous and vast, where one can lose one’s identity (one’s ego or ahamkara), and be at total bliss.

Sevang is also the name of Christopher’s teacher of many years who was a Tibetan lama living in exile in India. The name is partly in honour of him.

For a better society, community and country at large.
The journey of Sevangee began in the year 1975, under the tutelage of the late Lama Sevang Migyuar Nobu (a self imposed exiled Tibetan monk).
The journey was no doubt very hard,
It demanded total sacrifice and rigorous discipline...
In the field of Hua Chuan Kung Fu (the flowery fist) - to become a evolved being.
After the demise of the Guru, the student started fending for themselves,
By training themselves and others in the same discipline,
Thru the same medium of dedication, hard work and total sincerity toward the art,
but this was not enough. To survive in a modern day setting one need to get authentication, the journey was made behind the bamboo curtain in the year 1991.
To the People Republic of China, the land from where the art originated...,
Then with gusto and booming spirit the group forged ahead to form the Universal Martial Arts Research Centre.
To train and impart the new knowledge of Wu Shu or the Chinese military art (now popularly known as the Chinese National art).
They exhibit their skill through various demonstration, workshops, seminar,
And tournaments from the grass root level to the State level.
Helping the paramilitary forces of Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh)
Guna (Madhya Pradesh)
UMARC excelled in their field, to win the best martial artist award in Mumbai.
But the search did not end, it continue, hence to understand better one need to know the origin of this art,
The group travel thru various states of India, meeting masters, visiting libraries, learning battle strategy by visiting forts, battle grounds, and so on..,
Which help the group to know, understand and comprehend the lesser known art of this country, Or the mother of all martial art Vajramushti, from which arts like Kalaripayattu in Kerala are derived,
Then there are arts like, Yudhkaushalayache Talim in Maharashtra, and parts of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
Gathka from Punjab
Then Thang ta from seven sisters of North east India especially Manipur, and so on...
Some of the rudimentary technique of this art was available in many of the martial games, such as kabbadi, kho-kho, malkhamb, and so on...
The whole knowledge was compiled in a book format, known as “Vajramushti – Martial Arts of India” now available at Amazon.com
After knowing the potential and danger of these physical arts, the group felt the missing link in their training and hence they tend to delve deeper into the mystery of life,thru meditation
Breathing, Nei gong
Qi gong
Qi gong
Tui Na
And other esoteric arts.
After their deep contemplation and finding,
They tend to spread this art thru a new organization formed as Sevangee.
And its rich tradition in perfect harmony with nature.
Revealing the crux of internal knowledge, thru pure art, by understanding the fundamental concept of "Chi, Ki, or Prana".
By training, guiding and sharpening their skill through camps,

WHAT DOES SEVANGEE DO? & WHAT DO WE DO?

Sevangee was started with the aim of spreading this ancient form of holistic exercise. We realise the need of wholesome living in today’s world where people are losing their bearings in the mad rush to succeed. There is a deep need for improved methods of living that are conducive to modern life. Oddly enough the solution does not appear to lie in the modern but in the ancient.

Sevangee teaches the traditional form of Tai Chi Chuan/Tai JiQuan(Yang style) that combines movements with internal energy development exercises and meditation. It draws techniques from Qi Gong, Nei Gong, TsaRlung, and Tibetan meditative practices. This is commonly referred to as ‘Temple Tai Chi’. The name ‘Temple Tai Chi’ refers to the all-round training that was practiced in the temples where it originated.

This method of training is designed to tackle all aspects of individual growth, physical, emotional, mental, moral and even the spiritual.

Sevangee uses these traditional training techniques to provide answers to various requirements:

This is done through various delivery options:
