Grand Master George Dillman
Here is what we teach:
* Basic Principles come first, Balance, Energy Control, Efficient Movement
* Engagement Principles are next, Yin & Yang interaction
* Methods are next, Striking, Locking, Downing, Energy
* Techniques are the final layer, These includes the hand strikes, kicks, joint locks, throws and use of the various energies
Notice the foundation of the art is not at the physical techinique, but at the source of energy or Qi. We start with Qigong and energy development. The ability to use technique effeciently and effectively derives from this ability.
