San Da Group Class

San Da Technique
The San Da Workout is designed for students to simultaneously learn basic self-defense techniques and receive intense whole-body conditioning. The instructor will show students basic fighting stances, footwork, punching, kicking, elbow, knee and throwing techniques as well as kick/punch combinations and elbow/knee combinations. Students will use hitting pads and drill techniques with a partner.

Sparring puts students’ Sanda techniques to the test in real situations. Students will spar in pairs for rounds varying from 3 to 5 minutes. Techniques from San Da or any traditional techniques learned from a Traditional Forms class can be used. This is a light contact class, and it is to be seen as a way to hone skills learned and to familiarize students with in-ring fighting against an opponent.

1. San Da Basics
2. San Da Punching and Kicking
3. San Da Elbow and Knee

Duan Bing (Chinese Fencing) Special Interest Class

Although it is a sport by nature, Duan Bing is probably the closest one can get to the techniques and situations of a real sword fight without the possibility of drawing blood.

Using a soft weapon, students learn all the necessary details to attack and defend including one-hand, two-hand, fighting from the ground, lunge/jump offensives, kicking, punching and grabbing. If you’ve ever admired swordsmen of any kind, then Duan Bing is the sport for you.
