It’s time to get your Chi Sao (sticking hands) Skills up to speed. If you haven’t done much sticking hands lately it’s time to start coming to the Wednesday evening class from 6 – 7pm

Build the foundation for advanced skills like Bruce Lee’s 1 inch punch, Iron Palm & Iron Body.

Chi Sao is a fun, effective & powerful training game. It’s the method that Bruce Lee built his foundation on and it’s the core fighting method of Wing Chun the martial art featured in the Hong Kong blockbuster Ip Man.

Phase 4 (Black Sash) – Mind Boxing

Street Kung Fu — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:00:58 +0000

In Phase 3 you learned to segment the body, to use every body part independently from the others and we threw structure out the window.

Now you will put everything back together.

Phase 4 is about connecting and integrating your mind and body into one unified whole.

Your art will become much more internal now. All of the expressive wave movement from phase 3 is still there it just happens on the inside now.

There are only 5 movements in Phase 4.

However you will learn over 75 ways to express them.

This phase builds on everything you’ve done so far and takes it to another level. You will learn the art of Hsing-I Chuan along with a little I Chuan.

Student who complete Phase 4 earn a Black Sash in Clear’s Silat.

Rhythm is nothing
You go with the flow
