Advanced Kung Fu Program

    First, it is very important to understand that The Advanced Kung Fu Program does NOT refer to the level of the student but rather to the detail of how the material is taught. This program is designed for students who are 13 years or older, that either have no experience, years of experience in other styles or are graduates of the Basic / Intermediate Kung Fu Program. This is where you begin to learn more than just postures, kicks and punches but HOW to create the energy that makes the postures, kicks and punches WORK. You will learn more than just shape. You will learn INTENT, which is the key to being a successful martial artist.

    This program is heavily focused on “foundation” training, which has two meanings: Basic skills that are at the heart of everything you do, like your abc’s; and, your connection to the ground. The latter is easy to define; Stance work. Stancework or rooting, is at the heart of all martial “expression” as explained in the Chinese saying “energy is derived from the feet, governed by the waist and expressed by the hands”. Basic “foundation” skills are more challenging to define. It is a process of “weaponizing” your body through training in Lin Gong. Lin Gong is best described as hard, focused training in the areas of rooting (legs and feet) and bridging (hands and arms) to produce specific results. This is where you begin to understand how to generate power for optimum results in usage of your technique.

    The Advanced Kung Fu Program is a complete, higher martial arts education where you will have access to the culture, history, lion dance, etc, as well as how to effectively apply what you learn in the realm of real world self defense.
