New York Internal Arts (NYIA), founded by Tom Bisio, is a collective of martial arts instructors who teach and research the arts of Ba Gua Zhang, Xing Yi Quan and Qi Gong.

Starting in 1992, NYIA classes were originally held in lower Manhattan. During the day, the space functioned as a clinic specializing in the treatment of trauma and sports injuries. In the evenings and weekends, classes in traditional Chinese medicine, qi gong, and internal martial arts were held late into the evening. Hundreds of classes and seminars later, after leading many research and training trips to China and offering seminars in France, in 2011 NYIA expanded to become Internal Arts International. We welcome members from around the world who have an interest and passion in the Chinese Internal Martial Arts.

Today, weekly classes are offered in midtown Manhattan as well as weekend seminars, retreats and more. Many of our NYIA instructors are practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. We partner with Zheng Gu Tui Na, which teaches the most effective traditional Chinese medical practices and keeps these practices alive and vibrant in the modern world.
