Training method

Advantages of the system

Anyone can learn the style - regardless of age, weight, gender, education, disabilities or physical ability, and whether or not they have trained in another martial art or sport before.
It prevents injuries. The training load is set so that the body is prepared gradually.
Preparation before every new section. Students are prepared in advance - for example, before kicks or sparring. This ensures that every technique is learned correctly.
Strength and endurance. The system increases physical strength and endurance.
Natural stretching with special exercises and very fast results. Training "unlocks" the body - you will do things you once thought impossible.
A clear structure: warm-up, technique, physical exercises, breathing exercises. After training, students feel energised.

The only requirement for these results is to follow the instructor's directions strictly.
