Just a reminder of our upcoming Power Punch and Bo Staff Training coming up July 27 th after our Black Belt Training and Masters Class at the Pagoda.

We know it's not easy to schedule your time around family, friends and activities, especially on weekends.

This is why we've combined most of our seminars this year to make it easy to attend only ONE special event instead of 3 every month.

The Power Punch experience helps you understand body mechanics you can transfer to any other hand strike or kick. Some of the most important points are the Startle Reaction, Recoil, and the "mental follow through" required to transfer maximum power to your blows.

Thanks to thick phone books you're able to go through the training without injury, one thing you sense is pressure and penetration of your partner's punch to a degree that is manageable, blows thrown without a book would certainly leave you gasping for air on the ground.

The Bo Staff (5 1/2 to 6 foot long stick) teaches you coordination and to pay attention to momentum. 2 important attributes you need to be a well rounded martial artist.

Improving your Bo guarantees improvement in your stick training. All weapons are linked in such a way that they compliment each other very well.

Once you master a weapon you feel like one piece of the puzzle has been solved. You'll be surprised how much it helps you do everything else in class with less effort, less stiffness, and less of a learning curve.

Arrive early at 12:30 pm for the Advanced training before the seminars start.

See you then.

P.S I had mentioned I would give you the name of the English magazine featuring an article on Firewalking and using it as a tool to better yourself and your martial art skill, the name of it is Budo World Karate, Jul-Aug. Edition.
