Core Concept

Our school emphasizes on using abdominal core muscles rather than limb muscles as the force engine, elongation of the torso for stability, solid rooting with proper angle of the hip joints ("kua" in Chinese), and continuous structural connection from foot to fingertip. These concepts enable one to exert an explosion of power in an instant. We also learn how to apply this tremendous force efficiently to neutralize an opponent. While we might never need to fend off an attacker in our lifetime, these skills can be very useful in various sports and household tasks such as moving a heavy table.
