Kung Fu Training
We practice Pak Hok Pai (Tibetan White Crane) together with Hung
Gar. Our main style and basic training exercises come from
traditional Pak Hok Pai.
Pak
Hok Pai is a very powerful style which demands much dedication, time
and effort to master. The focus of the power comes directly from the
waist, with fully extended punches that strike right through the
opponent. There is no holding back in a fight, you are either
committed to it or you don't fight. Such is the case with training
as well. There is no middle ground. The student must accept that
this is hard work, but the benefits tremendous.The basics are very
important, they lay the foundation for all your training and
success. Some schools view basics as something to master so you can
"get on to real training". This is a grave error in training. A Pak
Hok Pai student never moves beyond training in the basic punches and
kicks.
Although our Gung Fu has many advanced forms, movements and
techniques, it is the basics that are key to mastery. Perhaps a
contradictory statement to some but the logic is simple. Most
advanced techniques are superfluous and difficult to properly
execute in a combative situation. Put plainly, the simpler and more
direct the technique the more practical and effective it is. My
advice to the new student is train hard and never relent. Building
mastery and your internal power (Ging) only comes from hard practice
and dedicated effort. Never think you can move beyond the basics,
for they are the key to your Art.
