Halo worked with Martin Faulks to produce the film version of the Butterfly Tai Chi book which has sold tens of thousands of copies worldwide.
Martin Faulks has been a student of the oriental martial arts since he was five years old. He has a black belt in the Korean martial art Kuk Sool Wan and is proficient in the spiritual disciplines of China, including Tai Chi, meditation, Qi Gong and the legendry form of Yi Jin Jing.
After studying Butterfly’s Martin came up with his own martial art called ‘Butterfly Tai Chi’ Inspired by observing the almost magical motion of butterflies around fragrant flowers. Seeing how, soon after emerging from their Chrysalis, they moved their wings before flying off lead Martin Faulks to a system of Tai Chi that could be performed in a limited space and a relatively short time – a form that would involve virtually no movement and, like the butterfly create a significant flow of energy around the body.
