About this event

Practitioners from any background are welcome to join our class to study the fundamentals of falling on hard ground based in the conditioning system of the signature self-defense stye of PGB White Crane Kung Fu. Class will train centuries-old natural movement techniques to develop core strength and small (often neglected) muscle groups, avoid riskier impact areas, and increase tissue toughness. All levels of fitness experience and body types are welcome. Instruction will be tuned for individual needs, and provide everyone a growth path whether you’re here to supplement other movement practices, or want to deepen work with us. Our goal is for you to walk away from even a single glass with a deeper understanding of safe falling and a training regimen for further study.
