CRYSTALIZATION OF THE PAST MASTERS
Part 2 -- From Solo Patterns to Sequence Sparring
The class practices basic combat skills for moving in to attack
Many kungfu practitioners today cannot use their kungfu patterns for free combat. Either they only perform kungfu patterns in solo demonstration or employ other martial art techniques, especially Kick-Boxing, for sparring.
We are proud that our students, including fresh beginners, at the Introductory Shaolin Kungfu Course held in Japan from 16th to 18th December 2007 overcame this big problem. On the first day of the course, they spent much time training the basics. On the second day they learned various skills and techniques to bridge the gap from solo pattern practice to free sparring. This second part of the video series records some of these lessons.
This series is presented in four parts. This is the second part, and is divided into the following sections which follow the order the course was taught.
- Basic Patterns
- Spacing and Timing
- Moving In
- Sequence Sparring
Besides being a review for the course participants, this course provides excellent reference material for those who wish to prepare themselves for more advanced Shaolin Kungfu courses at the UK Summer Camp in July 2008 and the Intensive Taijiquan Course in September 2008.
