Students with Master Nazim Gokcezade (4th Duan) and

farn sou kong chee (back fist strike)I want especially all my Duan students to appreciate that reaching Duan level is an achievement but it does not mean perfection or even nearly perfect.
Leg stretch (chean ti)Below instructor Korel is demonstrating various blocks against an attacker with a baton; this a very good way of studying each block.
