Learning with Jim Russo

Internal Principles, Made Clear

Learn the layers of internal structure, alignment, and energetic organization that turn simple movements into deep practice.

Step-by-Step Training System

A multi-layered curriculum anchored in the Eight Brocades and the Five Animal Frolics — taught with precision and depth.

Refinement That Unlocks Skill

Corrections, insights, and variations that help practitioners of every level experience real change in body and mind.

“In the space of two days, I observed what I can only call absolute ‘Transformations’ — physically and energetically — in a few of my students. In my own case, Jim provided a correction to a practice I learned 25 years ago that finally yielded the promised results — almost as if he ‘unlocked’ the exercises.”
