This course is a relaxed and enjoyable experience for the new student as well as a former practitioner of martial arts. The course focuses on the fundamentals of Traditional Hung Kuen, a southern style of kung fu. Basics include how to punch, kick, block, footwork and stances. Postures in the forms will be covered, along with learning how to develop a form sequence. This is achieved by linking the postures together to create a routine classified as the form. We will cover the process, the discovery, and the understanding from learning and training with postures. The health and wellness benefits of the practice of form sequences and how breath and movement are essential to life.

The instructor will be in a room with mirrors so students can follow the form sequences from different perspectives. For instructional purposes, I will share the screen with pre-recorded video for viewing and following the content that will be covered in classes. Recorded meetings will be shared for additional review of content and improved understanding.
