Lex Reinhart is born 1963 in Zurich Switzerland. He begins at the age of 16 with meditation – especially breathing techniques – as well as yang taijiquan, qigong and jogging. Little later with yoga, yongchunquan [wing chun chuan] and handling of diverse weapons. Following this up with yiquan, chan, ink painting, studies in acupuncture, archery, sword arts and the halberd of Guan Yu.
Taking part in the « Open Kuoshu (Kung Fu) World Championships » 1986 in Taipei China, brought his career as an amateur to an end. Today he represents the titles of Grandmaster (Dashi), head of the NING MUI Athletic Organisation and the NING MUI Coaching as well as the NING MUI Retreat & Coaching Center from 2002 to 2018. He encourages his students to find the balance between energies like the masculine justice oriented moral reasoning (voice of justice) and the feminine care oriented moral reasoning (voice of care).
During his search of establishing a new retreat & coaching center he was confronted with the Covid-19 restrictions and therefore teaches at the moment only daily private lessons and holds sporadically seminars and retreats for small groups in yoga and martial arts. He works on an adapted new teaching concept for the time after the Covid restrictions.
