The training regime will include the practical application of the skills
acquired during the lessons. Depending on the style being studied, students may emphasise certain
aspects of the key elements: Da (Striking), Shuai (Throwing and Grappling), Na
(Pressure Point and Join Manipulation), Dien (Point Striking and
Manipulation) and Duan (Breaking and Dislocation). Self-defence simulation such as two-person
choreographed sequences will enable the student to take part in contact training. Tao Lu (Forms) training,
including the use of weapons, will also allow the student to develop co-ordination and sparring tactics.
There are also internal and external body training methods to condition the body
in line with Shuai Jiao training demands.
In the intermediate to advanced stages of training, student will commence sparring practice:
non-striking sparring (Jing Sai Shuai Jiao); semi contact sparring (Qing Da) initially; and then full-contact sparring
(San Da), if desired, and when
ready. |
