Kung Fu Fundamentals

Kung Fu Fundamentals covers all of the basics and more. For roughly ninety percent of the class you are partnered up with other students so you can learn timing, feeling, angles, and correct movement. This class uses a rotating partner system so you become proficient at working with all types of people of all skill levels.

The class is divided into three sections:

1. Horse work, which includes the basic stance and foot work. Without a proper horse your kung fu will be weak and ineffective against a trained fighter.

2. Kicks, counter kicks, sweeps, and blocking with your legs. Learn to move with precision, balance and power.

3. Hand techniques, which includes different types of fists, punches, counter punches, blocks, joint manipulation, and much more. These techniques will enable you to control opponents at close range.

Kung Fu System

Kung Fu System is where it all comes together. Once you have met the criteria of Kung Fu Fundamentals you may attend this class. The foot work and hands are now used simultaneously. You will be refining and breaking everything down in this class. This class uses a rotating partner system so you become proficient at working with all types of people of all skill levels.

This class is divided into three sections.

1. Simultaneously using horse work and hand techniques.

2. Combination drills and real life attack scenarios.

3. Two person forms and their break downs for a complete understanding of each technique’s application.

Apache Control
