Each session has many aims - to improve the strength, mobility and flexibility of the practitioner, to teach how to move effectively and efficiently, to give usable combat skills and to teach a set of movements known as a form. The form is the best way of learning the movements and gradually becomes a textbook of combat skills that has huge benefits. Each form gives the ability to move fluidly from one technique to the next and teaches you how to develop the effortless power for which this system is known. Contained within the movements of the form are a vast repertoire of techniques and ways of developing power within them.

Each of our 2 hour sessions generally has the following components:

1. A group exercise session to warm up the class, train for power and flexibility and learn fundamental movement skills.
2. The combat skills section - each month we train one of the main categories: blocks and strikes, kicks, locks and holds, throwing skills and general self defence. At the end of the month we move onto the next category.
3. Form training - currently hand form on Mondays and staff form on Thursdays

The format for the next few months looks like this:
