The first fundamental technical exercise
The fabric cloth is a distinctive practice of our school, we have already introduced it in Lesson 1.3 and now we will go a little bit more in-depth.
This exercise, like every 6 Dragons Kung Fu's practitioner knows, simply consists of throwing in the air a cloth and hitting it, without making it falling or grabbing it.
Here you can see a video example (read 6 Dragons Kung Fu's Fabric Cloth training demo):

Training everywhere exploiting the environment's elements
In the 6 Dragons Kung Fu's workout economy (read 6 Dragons Kung Fu training sessions' structure), it is very important to alternate the solo and partner training (read 5 effective ways to find a training partner) with the one to perform with a dummy (to hit at full power, to stress specific mechanics, etc., read Training dummies): unfortunately not always we have this opportunity:
Because we are far from home (eg. during a trip)

Chin Na: twist the elbow
The twisting of the elbow is a very versatile technique and once set, it is easy to apply; the only difficulty is the understanding of the initial displacement of the arms.
Before starting, it is extremely important to read (we have to know what we are doing and how to train safely):

The self-defense scenario
In this article, I will describe a personal defense situation that happened to me (Kongling) walking on the sidewalk of an (apparently) not degraded residential area in England (a lot of years ago).
The background (in short):
My friends and I went to spend a study holiday in the south of England (on the coast, we were guests of a family)
We had prepared to go out and we were walking down to the city center (it was probably 6-7 p.m.)
At that time I was simply a Jeet...

The most important training exercises
In this chapter, we will deepen the topic started in Lesson 2.3 about the first 3 basic technical practices of 6 Dragons Kung Fu. Each of them is designed to develop (and learn to manage) the combat interactions typical of our style (read 6DKF?s interactions: from the strong blow to the light touch):
The fluid ones ? With Fabric Cloth Training (born in our school)
The liquid ones ? With Hanging Speedballs Training (inspired by ancient Shaolin methods, r...

Karate has been my first approach with martial arts (read Who is Master Kongling?).
Important - What follows should not be interpreted as a positive or negative assessment, neither on Karate (each dojo is different) nor on my master (who has passed away and who I deeply respect). The ones I intend to share are the lessons that (more or less directly) I have drawn from my (limited, only a few years) experience with this martial art. The sole purpose of this article is to inform our school practi...

Basic Kung Fu footwork
The first thing to say is that, once the basic techniques have been thoroughly tested and trained, your body will choose instantly and automatically: how, when, why, what to adopt. If this does not happen, you are very far from being ready for a fight and even for sparring (read The meaning of sparring fighting in martial arts).
The second thing to stress is that there are a lot of footwork methods and in combat terms, the type of spatial movement that you choose depends...
