Teaching days

A few people have flown here to mallorca to train and I have taught at a few clubs as a guest when I am in the UK.

I love to come and run an extended day training working with people for different martial arts. What I will try to get accross in that day hours is the essence of our training. In particular how it differs from YOUR training. One day is not a lot to get more than a flavour of a system, but if you have heard about White Crane kung fu, and always wondered, then I try to give you a pretty accurate impression of what is practiced at the Source in China where it has been practiced widely for hundreds of year.

I very much believe that a good grounding in your own style helps you to explore other styles, and that once you have a good grounding, taking time out to look at other styles helps you in your own training. Otherwise, you are just "fighting mirrors" and the martial arts becomes "mutual therapy" - which is also great! but goes a bit in bred if not careful I feel. May be at the end you will have a feel for why I think this is a great system with a lifetime of study in it...but if not, at the very least a fine day training a bit off the edge of certainty with people from other schools and styles.

Questions which may be answered..:

Why are we so anal about your stances?
What the *`"·$%(?! is San Zhan for? ( why it ROCKS and you dont need a lot more..! )
What do we think is important as a training METHOD?
Does our stuff work? Does yours? lets play!
Where did your stuff come from?

To this end the material I teach is San Zhan ( always of interest! ), drills, conditioning / sensitivity / reaction work from Yong Chun White Crane that we do most sessions in the hope that the effects out weight the effort.

Questions which will NOT be answered..:

How do I get out of a bear hug?
How can I incapacitate a man with a finger strike?
If I found my Dan Tien would it change my life?

Mostly these training days are a way to have a look at this stuff. That is, for us all to meet up and train without the expense of actually flying to mallorca.
