​
The overall aim of training is to develop skills for a technique to be executed achieving "Efficient use of Energy”, using the “Mind not Force” principle, emphasizing strength through softness, biomechanics of spiral force that emphasizes redirection and control over brute strength and the ability to adapt, be flexible and not resort to brute force.

DON'T BE A SLAVE
to any predetermined sequence.
Let the freestyle flow of slow and controlled
deflect anxiety and stress, training the mind
to find a rhythm and pattern neutralizing
anger and pain reflected in
the rear-view mirror of life.

of sustained effort, drills, repetition
of focused practice.
Don’t become a victim
to rage on the road of LIFE
hooked on speed.
GO WITH THE FLOW
MORE POWER TO YOU!!
