| Innovative Cross Style Training Dummy! |
|
A Shen Martial Arts Exclusive! This innovative design (patent pending) takes dummy training from the chinese martial arts and brings it to all martial artists! Whether you train in Tae Kwon Do, Pencak Silat, Thai boxing or Mixed Martial Arts, the Shen training dummy will add a new dimension to your training. Solo applications training, hand training drills, endurance training, arm/leg/shin conditioning, speed/distance training and sensivity training can all be enhanced.
The Shen All Style Cross-Training dummy design is based on the traditional ''mook jong'' wooden dummy mostly associated with Wing Chun kung fu training. This traditional wooden dummy is also used by other Chinese martial arts such as Hung Gar, 5 Animal style, and Praying Mantis and is typically used for solo training of combat applications, for iron body conditioning, for speed and distance and for bridging and sensitivity training. These are all necessary attributes and skills for all martial artists, regardless of style. The Shen Cross-Training dummy breaks the boundary by virtue of its design, specifically made to simulate the feel of muscle and bone, such that the harder it is hit, the more it challenges the user. In addition, the whole body of the dummy provides a realistic hitting surface giving it attributes of a boxing heavy bag,a Thai Boxing hanging bag, and a wooden dummy all in one. Still, hard core fighters looking for a conditioning tool will find the solid construction of the body, arms and legs to provide excellent, resistance and ample strengthening and conditioning. In fact, don't forget to use your favorite Dit Da Jow!
The All Style Cross Training dummy is constructed to last a lifetime of constant, hard hitting use. Taking years to develop and to find the best design and highest grade materials, this dummy was submitted to hundreds of hours of maximum force training. It is backed by a 2 year warranty against manufacturing defects or failure due to training use. It is also made for ease of set up, and comes with an attractive, all wood wall mount that allows for fast and simple mounting and removal. The height is adjustable for use by different practitioners.
Includes wall mount, hardware and straps needed for full set up, instructions, and for a limited time, an instructional DVD with drills, applications and techniques to aid in your combat training.
Introductory Special - Free Shipping within the continental United States!

| Ancient Alchemy aka: The Wisdom Sutra |
|
Here is more of my late night inspiration. This one came to me after being asleep and waking up at around 3:00am. I hope it does something for you.
Ancient Alchemy
It is a truth from lost ages
That Wisdom is choice and not gift
Great Labor and Effort
Endless Practice
The Quest of many lifetimes
Clarity its lonely goal
Power is Fleeting
Fame is a Lie
Wealth is Hollow
Strength is Fading
All are Castles in the Sand
Fear is the Chain
And Ego the Golden Cage
Mirrors and Reflections
Hide the Door
In plain view
Knowledge and Faith
Mind and Spirit
Put into Action
Ancient Alchemy
Reaching the Abyss
to Jump
Is Wisdom
Awaken from the Dream

| 3 Star Drill Part 2 1/2 - Shin Star aka Chi Geurk |
|
Before we get into the nitty gritty, the meat of how the 3 star drill benefits your health, longevity..... and yes its internal aspects, we must mention one of its companion drills, one that is rarely seen anymore but is just as important... the Shin Star drill also known as Chi Geurk or Chi Geuk.
The first strike involves the crest of the shin itself. This exercise starts with a lap sau or nap sau strike and grab of the arms.
The leg is then swung around and back striking the side of the calf muscle
and around and back striking the other side of the calf muscle.
The Chinese martial arts utilize single leg stances, referred to as crane stances as an important bridging and defensive techniques. This drill conditions the lower leg to withstand strong impact and to deliver devastating leg strikes. It also works single leg stance balance and rooting. But, one of its most important results is the development of leg sensitivity and the ability to "bridge" with the legs much as you learn to do with the arm Kiu.
There are many other drills to strengthen other parts of the body used to strike, or to defend but the 3 star and shin star drill are the most essential.
Preparation for shin star is also essential and involves massage, herbs and preliminary exercises, according to Chinese methodology and tradition. These aspects must be learned from a knowledgeable instructor. And of course, Dit Da liniment is a must.
