Kung fu is an in depth system containing lots of jumping kicks.
This one is called a Bicycle kick. (Some practitioners have other names for it)

One of the many reasons we do these is to develop explosiveness in the body. Jumping kicks give us a method to use extreme force and speed. This doesn’t mean that you use one in a real fight. These are exercises with a purpose.

Important detail is to make sure you are kicking on the way up and bringing your legs back under you before you land.

Get outside, enjoy the sun and warmth while you train! Summer is almost here! (Unless you are in Miami like us. In that case summer has been here for a long time already!)

Forms are solo exercises which develop focus, balance, postures and kinesthetic awareness. The forms introduce the hand positions, techniques and defining movements of each progressive level and provide a way to practice without a partner.

Students begin their Forms training by learning the mechanical movements, simply learning the “choreography” of the sequence. Once they have the pattern, they begin to carefully refine the structural precision of each movement. They gain a clear awareness of the chains of movement, their shifting balance, and the functional importance of each technique.

As they progress, students will develop a sense of flow, control both tension and relaxation, and understand force generation.

Still hot out but definitely looking forward to some cooler air to shift the training into the season 👊🫷

Imagine taking your yoga and then learning to add the warrior into it! Flow in and out of postures. Create mobility in those holds. Truly athletic is the goal.

This will improve every quality of your fitness journey. Come train!!

90 days and watch how you feel!!

The form is called Gun Li Kune. Designed to build strength through the body.

Working the nine directions with the bo staff is about alignment and awareness.

Legs, Hips, spine, hands, all connected. When those lines are clean, the mind clears.

The circles train timing and coordination as well as patience. It wakes the body and steadies the mind.

Thanks @meliryetks for the sound effects 👏🥷

Afternoon Bo staffs

Build coordination in back, arms, torso and legs while creating strong wrists and hands. Look closely and you can see it’s like shadow boxing except you are turning circles in waves as you move 🙏

Let’s get it! Self defense is against the self

SATURDAYS!!! 👊🙏

Tai Chi is a great way to start your weekend.

All levels welcome.
There’s only one way to learn — show up!

We deep dive into cleaning up movement by working on:

• Alignment — creating better structure and positioning
• Rooting — developing stability and connection to the ground
• Weight shifting — improving balance and control from one leg to the other
• Hip & spine mobility — creating more freedom through the center of the body
• Coordination — connecting the hands, feet, hips, and spine as one unit
• Breath & movement — learning to coordinate breathing with relaxed, continuous movement
• Flow — eliminating unnecessary tension and making transitions smoother

Saturday Mornings in the park
8:30–10:00 AM

Tai Chi for Yoga: Root, Move, Refine with Sifu Fred Holt | FRIDAY OCTOBER 2, 6:30-9PM @trainkungfu

Train the body. Calm the mind. Move with intention.

What if Tai Chi could change the way you experience your yoga practice?

Have you been curious about Tai Chi and how it might complement both your yoga and your inner practice? This workshop is your opportunity to experience it firsthand.
Yoga and Tai Chi share many of the same principles—grounding, balance, alignment, breath, stability, and moving from the center. We’ll explore these connections and show you how Tai Chi can bring a new understanding to the yoga practice you already know and love.

It starts with your feet. Learn how connecting to the ground creates a true root—like a tree—giving you greater stability while allowing the rest of your body to remain open, full, released, and mobile.

From the ground up, we’ll explore knee and foot alignment, movement through the hips and kua, and how to use the arms without pulling the shoulders out of place. You’ll learn how to create strength and structure without unnecessary tension.
Using familiar asanas, we’ll explore mobility within the posture itself. Tai Chi teaches us that being rooted doesn’t mean being rigid. You can be stable while still moving, turning, opening, and releasing.

Then we’ll bring these principles into your transitions—learning to shift your weight, move from your center, and stay connected as you move from one posture to another.

You’ll leave with a new understanding of how to build, inhabit, and move through your yoga postures—and with Tai Chi principles you can immediately bring into your practice.

Come discover how Tai Chi can improve your yoga from the ground up—creating stronger roots, better alignment, greater mobility, smoother transitions, and a more connected practice.
Bring your yoga. Discover the Tai Chi within it.

Tonight, step into a different kind of flow. 🌀

TAI CHI with Sifu Fred Holt
Tonight • 7:30 PM • MLC Wynwood

What happens when Tai Chi meets yoga, Kung Fu, Qi Gong and Nei Gong? A Warrior Flow Training.

A dynamic practice designed to challenge your body, focus your mind, cultivate your energy and bring you back into balance.

We’ll move through body-opening Nei Gong, footwork patterns, Qi Gong, breathwork and standing meditation, building strength, mobility, coordination and resilience while learning to move with qi.

This isn’t about pushing harder just for the sake of pushing. It’s about learning when to activate, when to soften, and how to balance Yang with Yin.

Whether you’re a longtime yogi curious about Qi and Tai Chi or completely new to these practices, come explore a movement system shaped by Sifu Fred Holt through years of study, training and exploration.

Feel the burn. Find your center. Learn to live Qi.

📍 MLC Wynwood
⏰ Tonight at 7:30 PM

Come move differently. ⚡️
