We hold seminars, external seminars, residential workshops and specialised courses. These either offer some aspects which can be covered in greater detail for those who wish to do so, or specialised skills which are not covered in normal lessons. Some of these relate to martial applications, others to health topics.

We also give seminars to other schools and associations both in UK and abroad. Anyone interested in organizing such a seminar should contact CIAA.

The following one or two day weekend seminars are held in Berkshire and run from 10:30 till 16:30 (unless mentioned otherwise). The seminars are a chance to concentrate on a specific element of Internal Arts in more details than is possible in regular classes and to meet a wider range of practitioners. The extra time available gives more opportunity to ask questions of the instructors.
