Knoxville, TN, Workshop - Day 1

Isometric strengthening postures were trained to develop improved circulation and muscular strength. Three foundational strikes each from the Lion system chopping and hooking strike attack methods were then taught. Each technique was drilled to develop body coordination and waist power when striking. The strikes were then paired with various types of footwork and drilled for power while moving. Partnered applications of the strikes in various combinations were then trained to show changes in technique during combat. Emphasis was placed on tight integration of footwork to set up proper position and support technique.
