Practice Martial Arts techniques and Embodied movement in a fun and open level workshop where you will dive into White Crane Silat which is the Signature Martial Art and self-defense system developed at the PGB Persatuan Gerak Badan School in Bogor, West Java Indonesia.

During this workshop, you will learn body and spacial awareness and self-defense techniques.

We will go through a warm-up, standing movements including kicks, punches, chops, and then moving into more dynamic short movements and choreographed movements. We will also practice falling and rolling safely. There will be partner exercises including take downs “ambilan” and “feeling” (pushing hands in tai Qi) as well as some technique where we will practice offensive and defense stances with a partner. You will come out of this workshop feeling energized, aware, mentally sharp and physically strong. This is an open level workshop available for the beginner as well as advanced practitioners.
