Weapons can help with what?!

When mixing the arts, it's important to broaden your range of arts you delve into.

Remember, MMA isn't just Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

At least not in our book.

One area that needs attention is Weapon Training.


The benefits that derive from Weapon Training, in this case, Stick Work,  are vast.

Some quick points would be hand - eye coordination, balance, agility, reflexes (a stick moves way faster than a punch), and timing.

All qualities that are a must in your MMA game.

And qualities you can use in any other area of your martial art development.

I just finished a quick video where I do a free-style flow incorporating whatever felt right.

In the end, whether you're doing weapon work, grappling, kung-fu striking, Chi Sao (Sticking hands) or whatever, there has to be a certain harmony, a flow if you will, to your movement.

This is just one way to do that.

Master Yourself,

P.S. If you're thinking of attending our May 12th, Fang Shen Do Training Day, this is just one of the things we'll be focusing on throughout the day. If you're a member, speak to your instructor on how you can attend this sold out event before it's too late.
