Welcome

We teach a mix of Hsing Yi Kung-fu, European Combatives, Modern Weapons, some traditional weapons, personal protection, and self-defense.  We are not limited to by any organization or group and do not claim any particular lineage.  This helps us because we can use empirical reasoning to test out any move or technique before we teach it.

How is it Taught? 

We teach our curriculum in a rotating fashion.  This means that everyone in a certain class learns the same material at the same time.  In the basic level there are five belts and five "blocks" or "groups" of material.  Each student will go through all five of this "blocks" or "groups" of material before they progress on to the intermediate level.  This means that different students may learn the material at different times but they will all know the same material when the progress onto intermediate and advanced level of training. 

 

What are the ranks/levels?

Here is the list of levels, belt ranks, and time in each belt rank

Beginner Level	Intermediate Level	Advanced Level

Forms

Here is a list of the forms in our school.  We have 2 forms that are taught before the Intermedaite "Brown Belt" level.  We have a set of forms, the Hsing Yi: 12 Animals, that are taught in "Brown Belt" level.  There are many more taught in the Advanced "Black Belt" level.  Each weapon also has several forms.  While in the Black Belt level there are several internal forms, modern forms, and animal forms.

Weapons

We teach techniques and material for several different weapons.  Some of these weapons are traditional and some are more modern but all were chosen because they are either legal, easy to conceal, or are easy to find.  When a student reaches the level of 1st degree Black Belt they choose their first weapon specialty.  Each student will teach another at 3rd degree Black Belt and 5th degree Black Belt.  Students can learn as many weapons as they like but they are expected to excel at their chosen specialty weapon.

 

There are "specialty" weapons and "general" weapons.  The "general" weapons can be chosen as a "specialty" but every student learns the basics of these weapons.
