1 Shaolin Chuan Fa Requirements for Yellow Belt

2 Kiai Before w e begin our training we must learn the Karate K IA I. The word Kiai (pronounced key - eye ) can be translated as Sprit Yell or Warrior Yell. The K iai as we use it in Martial A rts is not a word so much as a sound that Martial A rtist s make each time they want to emphasize a punch or kick. It is also used at the end of each technique. The sound we make is like a loud H i. The K iai is a very important part of our Martial Arts training. It also allows the Martial A rtist to exhale air from their lungs when they are hit in order to prevent dam age to the lungs. The act of executing your Kiai w ill also tighten your muscles around your torso and offering more protection to your vital organs. The Kiai forces the Martial Artist to focus on whatever technique they are executing at the tim e. The Kiai develops more energy in the technique being executed. Executing the Kiai Take a deep breath Tighten your stom ach m uscles Force the air in your lungs out Loudly say the w ord Hi Just like anything in Martial Arts you should practice your Kiai regularly. Stances The heart of any movement is the stance, because your position and balance dictate your ability to perform the desired strike or kick, or to evade hostile actions. One of the keys to success as a Martial Artist is balance, the ability to deliver strikes or kicks in a controlled manner that minimizes your vulnerability to your opponent. The Stances required for Promotion to Yellow Belt are: 1. Attention Stance 1. A ttention Stance 2. Front Position 3. H orse Stance, Hands at Elbows 4. C rane Stance Stand upright w ith your back straight Feet together eyes focused forward Hands tight to your sides KIA I 2. Front Position Stand upright w ith your back straight Feet together eyes looking forward Bring your right fist and your left palm together Elbows are held at shoulder height Hands are out from your body KIA I 3. Horse Stance, Hands at E lbow s Feet are placed about shoulder-width apart Keep your knees bent and back straight Fists are held half way between your shoulder and your belt Elbows are pointing straight back behind you Eyes are focused forward KIA I 3. Crane Stance Start in your H orse Stance, Hands at Elbow s Bring your right knee up to belt level Slightly bend your left knee for balance Eyes are focused forward Hold your balance Switch KIA I

3 Strikes Strikes use the hands to strike to your opponent s body. The strikes required for Yellow Belt are simple to learn, but remember to ask your Instructor should you have any difficulty in understanding the different strikes. As a beginner you will start all your Hand Strikes from the Hands at Elbow Position. This helps you to control the natural tendency to use your arms to balance your body. REMEMBER to NEVER fully extend your arms or lock out your elbows. This could lead to hyper extension of your elbows over time, so please be very careful. The strikes required for Promotion to Yellow Belt are: 1. Back Two Knuckle Punch 2. Thrust Punch 3. Front to Knuckle Punch 4. Palm Heel 1. Back Two Knuckle Punch to the Chin Extend your right arm forward, sliding your arm along your ribs Keeping your palm facing up You will strike with the two knuckles of your fore and middle fingers 2. Thrust Punch to the Solar Plexus Extend your right arm forward, sliding your arm along your ribs Turn your fist one quarter turn anti-clockwise You will strike with all the knuckles of your fist 3. Front Two Knuckle Punch to the Chin Extend your right arm forward, sliding your arm along your ribs Turn your fist anti-clockwise until your palm is facing down You will strike with the two knuckles of your fore and middle fingers 4. Palm Heel to the Nose Extend your right arm forward, sliding your arm along your ribs As you turn your fist anti-clockwise open your fist into a palm

4 You will strike with the heel of your palm Kicks Kicks are much more powerful than punches, as they usually have the full weight of the body behind them. They can be delivered from longer distances; also, they offer more protection for the Martial Artist. The kicks required for Promotion to Yellow Belt are: 1. Front Ball Kick 2. Side Kick 1. Front Ball Kick to the Groin / Solar Plexus Chamber your right knee into a Crane Stance Point your knee at your opponent s Groin / Solar Plexus Extend your foot out to the target Strike with the ball of your foot (Keep your toes bent up and backwards out of harms way) Re-chamber your right knee into a Crane Stance Replace your foot onto ground 2. Side Kick to the Solar Plexus Chamber your right knee into a Crane Stance Point your heel at your opponent s Solar Plexus Extend your foot out to the target Strike with the heel of your foot (Keep your toes bent backwards out of harms way) Re-chamber your right knee into a Crane Stance Replace your foot onto ground

5 Blocks As a White Belt the Blocks you will use will be very basic. DO NOT use any power and/or speed at this time. Practice slowly and focus on the moves and position of each block. Start in your Horse Stance, Hands at Elbow Position, keep you re back straight and focus forward do not follow your hands. Practice your blocks with your fists closed. Eight Point Blocking System # 1 Block Drop your RIGHT HAND down towards your knee Circle your block clockwise across your chest (Be sure to block your entire torso) Finish your block about half your arms length away from your shoulder directly in front of your right shoulder. # 2 Block Drop your LEFT HAND down towards your knee Circle your block anti-clockwise across your chest (Be sure to block your entire torso) Finish your block about half your arms length away from your shoulder directly in front of your left shoulder. # 3 Block Bring your RIGHT HAND up as if you were making a muscle Bring your block across your chest from right to left (Be sure to twist your torso so as to block your entire torso) Finish your block about half your arms length away and directly in front of your left shoulder. # 4 Block Bring your LEFT HAND up as if you were making a muscle Bring your block across your chest from Left to right (Be sure to twist your torso so as to block your entire torso) Finish your block about half your arms length away and directly in front of your right shoulder # 5 Block Bring your RIGHT HAND across your waist to your left side Bring your block up your chest and over your head (Be sure to block your entire torso and head) Finish your block about half your arms length away from your head with your fist directly in front of your left shoulder.

D. M. s Shaolin Defensive Manoeuvres (D. M. s) are prearranged defensive responses to an attacker s Punch. The D.M. you learn for your Yellow Belt Requirements is short and simple, consisting of one move. Remember to practice slowly and learn the technique. Power and Speed will develop with repetition. D.M. # 6 (As your opponent attacks with Front Two Knuckle Punch) Bring your right leg into a right Crane Stance (Be sure to point your knee at your opponent s groin or Solar Plexus Deliver right Front Ball Kick to the Groin or Solar Plexus Re-chamber your right leg into a Crane Stance (Once you have defended yourself) Cross right foot over in front of left, then step out on guard.

7 Kempo Defences At the beginner level we begin with the basic Punch Kempos. The Kempo requirements for promotion to Yellow Belt is Tiger Kempo # 1 (As your opponent delivers a straight punch to your head) Step back into a left half-moon stance as you Execute # 2 Block to opponent s wrist Deliver right front ball kick to opponent s groin (This will stop your opponent) Step forward into right half-moon stance and Deliver a right front to knuckle punch to the head and a Left front to knuckle punch to the solar plexus and a Right front to knuckle punch to the groin.
