INSTRUCTOR: Kelley Graham

LOCATION: The Kung Fu Studio at Winterhaven Square 3148 E. Ft. Lowell at Country Club

This Half Day Workshop is for those curious about Traditional Internal Kung Fu training who have previous experience in martial arts. Participants will get an intense workout and learn explicit techniques to build up their concentration and mental focus. MMA, Kickboxers and other hard stylists will find that this training helps them cultivate 'Flow' and softness in their practice while still safely dealing with real world force and power. Speed comes from relaxation and 'Flow' can help maintain relaxation under all conditions.

Training focuses on bringing awareness and power to the Point of Contact in order to control the Center of Mass to unbalance the opponent.

Training includes:

• Closing and opening the opponent.
• Absorbing incoming force.
• Recognizing the Grab and Alignment to Force.
• Controlling the Hand on the Horizontal Plane.
• Zhang Zhuang - Traditional Internal Power Development.
• Using Yin and Yang energies to Unify yourself.

Other benefits of practice can include sustained mental clarity, reduced stress, and greatly increased energy.

Materials presented are for anyone with previous intensive martial, sports or impact sports experience. Wear loose athletic clothing. We train barefoot, but it's optional. Bring a water bottle to be sure you get plenty of water, you will flush out toxins.
