Workshop: Kung Fu Punching 101

Through guided movement explorations, you will physically explore how force can travel from the ground up through the feet, legs, hips, torso, shoulder, and fist. Optional punch-force testing will be available at the beginning and end of the workshop.

The punching fundamentals are transferable to other striking-based martial arts, including karate, Muay Thai, kickboxing, MMA, and other kung fu styles.
