A New Direction

by admin at 2:08 categories News, Training    

As for the past weeks, we were charting a new course and a new face lift. We are now called The Malaysia Uechiryū and Kosonken Kenkyūkai (馬来西亞上地流-虎尊拳研究会). We are (become) an independent body focusing in researching , studying and training of various Uechiryū and the Chinese Tiger Style boxing (虎尊拳).

Our Uechiryū training is based on old-style Uechiryū. A blend of modern styles Uechiryū will also be incorporated into our training but the old style training remains as our main focus and grading requirement.

Tiger is one of the three major animals in Uechiryū. We form a small team dedicated in researching, studying and training of Chinese Tiger Style boxing. The tiger techniques in the Chinese Tiger style have many similarities but make a good complement in various areas such as tiger claw striking, body conditioning and strengthening. Generally the strike is short and direct. There are pulls, tears, twists or presses upon contact with the adversary.

This announcement is made coinciding with the 2nd day of Chinese New Year (February 8, 2008 or 20080208) to signify the beginning of a new direction. Our first training will begin on February 11. We will incorporate more new tiger techniques along the way in stages. We wish you a Happy Chinese New Year. Enjoy your holiday and happy training.
