Strictly Self Defense for Women
This is a continuously running class. Any woman can join at any time and not feel like she is playing catch up. Simple, Basic Movements are drilled at each session. They are then used in various combinations as techniques against the most common types of attacks against woman. They are drilled again and again to make them automatic if ever needed. This is not one of those several hour Self Defense Seminars that tries to cram a dozen techniques into a short period of time that are quickly forgotten. A woman can come and train for a few months, leave and come back for a refresher and not find what is being taught has entirely changed. This class is very structured and specific to what it is designed to address. The class not only drills in basics and attacks such as wrist and arm grabs, chokes, or being taken to the ground. Concepts such as Situational Awareness and How Not To Be A Victim are a core part of the curriculum. This class is also a great workout as the Basics followed by repetition of the sessions technique is a terrific cardio workout. This training can also be done, depending on schedule, as a private session.
Nei Qi (Internal Forms and Meditation)
Nei Qi better known as “Internal Breath Forms” These are “softer” in nature than Wei Qi “external forms”. There is a fair amount of “Chin Na” which literally means “joint lock”. Chin Na is the grandfather of Jui Jitsu and Judo. What this means is that manipulation of the joints from fingers to knees is used to neutralize a threat and/or to set up open hand strikes or certain kicks. Nei Qi is not modern Tai Qi Quan as the forms date from the mid 1200’s and older. In this class we practice the forms but also learn the techniques as doing so takes the abstractness out of the movements.
We also practice a few examples of truly ancient Qi Gong such as “Five Beasts At Play”, the earliest written record of which was discovered in a tomb of a doctor (DaiFu) in the city of Chungdu. The tomb was identified as having been built in 239bce. We also practice some meditations, both moving while sitting and standing.
This class is ideal for someone looking to explore the ancient softer arts for health reasons yet still gain an understanding of Nei Qi and Qi Gong beyond just repetition of a routine.
