Master Scott Voelker

Punching And Kicking: How To Fine-Tune Yours!

Master Voelker will cover some basic concepts that will prove out basic in theory and application but devastating in results and will advance your effectiveness. His ability and understanding of San Soo will give you the answers to the problems like...

Which way should my hands be held?
Which angle should I hit at?
When should I be locking my elbow straight and when should it be bent?
When kicking should I lean back (away) or forward, right or left or not at all?

Master Michael Rockwell

The Broadsword

This classic Chinese weapon also known as the dao or knife is one of the first weapons taught in most traditional kung fu systems. Correct understanding of the principals and applications of any weapon are the most important factors to proper form and function. The first half of the session will cover...

Sword basics including exercises and cutting angles.
Proper intent and placement.
Body alignment and structure while in motion.

The second half will cover form and application of these principals. Please bring your own sword.

Master Juan M. Meza

Blocking Punches

Master Meza will cover the basic principles on blocking that year after year students everywhere are having trouble with. Including the so called top belts. You will learn how to...

Use stances (legs) and how to transfer those mechanics into your arms for devastatingly quick and powerful blocking.
The difference with defensive and offensive blocking and how you may be doing the wrong one unknowingly.
How to utilize your back and legs for more effective blocking.
How to get off your block in a way that sets up a better offensive position (quicker and more effective).
Getting rid of that studio mentality blocking that makes you practice studio only effective blocking.
