Sense and Strike
LOCATION - TOWN HALL
A one-hour lab in movement, mobility, and Kung Fu.
What if self-defense started not with throwing a punch, but with learning to listen through your skin? With understanding how your body moves, falls, breathes, and reacts before anyone ever lays a hand on you?
This is a one-hour session blending principles from a handful of systems I've trained in — Tong Long (Praying Mantis), Wing Chun, Wushu, Shaolin, Muay Thai, and boxing — woven together with parkour, mobility work, strength, breath, and reflex training. Less "learn 5 moves." More "feel what your body already knows, and sharpen it."
What we'll do
Mobility + body conditioning — open the joints, find structure, build the chassis that everything else runs on.
Falling + grounding — how to hit the floor without fear. Useful for fighting, parkour, life.
Chi Sao (sticky hands) — partner work in slow contact. Train sensitivity, reflex, and reading another body in real time. Beginner-friendly.
Breath + reflex drills — short, sharp games that wake up your nervous system.
Self-defense philosophy — the principles underneath the techniques. Why softness can beat force. What "energy" actually means once you stop romanticizing it.
What you'll walk away with
A felt sense of how usable self-defense actually works — not memorized techniques, but reflexes, structure, and instincts you can keep practicing on your own. Plus a clearer way to feel your own body.
Who it's for
Total beginners who've been curious about martial arts but never knew where to start.
Movement people — runners, climbers, parkour folks, lifters, yogis — who want to add a combative dimension to their practice.
Anyone drawn to breath, energy, and the mind-body side of training, who wants the practical edge underneath it.
No experience needed. No uniforms. No egos. Wear something you can move in. Bring water.
