Combat training (intermediate level)

An example of execution of Poles exercise

In this video, we show a practical example of the Poles practice (in the particular case, Master Kongling performs the intermediate version of the exercise against 8 door’s jambs).

This training is one of the fundamental technical exercises of 6 Dragons Kung Fu (read /// Subscribe (it's free!) or Login to see this content ///) and it promotes: spatial intelligence, coordination, precision, quick reasoning, conditioning, flow quality and much more.

A note by Master Kongling – The method of execution demonstrated in the video (speed, moves, level of impact, etc.) is not for beginners but the type of practice is very simple and accessible to everyone.

Notes

This is one of the fundamental 6 Dragons Kung Fu practices (read Basic tools: the pole)

The first rule is that you cannot stand still

The second rule is that you have to maintain your flow without interruptions

The third rule is that, in the full-body version, you have to alternate upper and lower limbs but avoid to be repetitive

In the beginning, you simply have to touch or lean on the poles

Let your body flow: try to be naturally unpredictable

Learn when to push, lean, hit, slide…

Learn to manage even what you don’t see

Imagine to face real opponents

Avoid excessive symmetries / repetitions

Learn to draw a mental map of the scenario

The goal is to improve speed, power and precision… each day

Move dynamically, experiment with distances and strokes

Concatenate the blows into sequences and use the muscle chain

Work on different heights

Learn to measure distances instinctively and precisely

Combine conditioning, precision and strength dosage

Alternate between slow and fast flow but avoid the intermediate one

Work on building an unconsciously broken pace
