Forms
Again depending on what class you are in, how old you are, and how many days a
week you are training, is what form you will learn.
We are working on having as many classes as Sifu Fiedler had when he was teaching his classes. When Sifu Fiedler taught, he found it very important to seperate the technique to fit the type of person training. Think of it like this, are you going to teach children the same as adults, "Of course not". Are you going to teach a womens self defense class the same as you would the self defense in the belt levels for the average student. "Again of course not". Last as an example, are you going to teach senior citizens the same as all of the other students, again "No Way". Sure there are schools that teach the same for everyone, but these schools have little knowledge, or their teachers were never taught specialized technique for the different types of people that come to learn.
In our womens self defense class, we teach a technique called, "Breast Escape", it teaches a women how to remove an attackers hand from her breast, at the same time taking him down to the ground with a broken arm. Are we to believe that you would teach this is children, or to seniors or to the Combat class, " Of course not".
Soon to come:
A children's class
A Women's self defense class
A Senior Citizen's class
We are teaching a Combat class, and a community class at this time, but the three classes above are in the works and soon to come. Thank you
Sifu Nomis
Combat Class
Community Class where families work together
Instructors Class
Each one of these Classes have their own forms, some of these classes do not
have a form, as in the women's self defense class. The Senior Citizens class
starts with the Short Peking Tai Chi form, which is the best form for their age,
it not only helps them with balance, timing, and confidence which is most
important for seniors. The older we become the less confidence we have in what
we can or cannot do, and this is for the majority of people, not everyone. When
working with seniors it is one of the most special gifts you can give them.
When you see that they are starting to increase their confidence, it shows them
that they can do it, once they see that they can learn a form, the sky is the
limit for them to learn anything. And this is one of the most wonderful things a
teacher in the martial arts can do.
Remember our seniors are the corner stone of our societies. Unfortunately in the west we seem to throw them away at a certain age, putting them in old age homes, giving them drugs to keep them quite, it is such a shame we are so ignorant to what most other societies do with their seniors, they respect every word they say, they ask for their knowledge and thier advice on most things important, where as here in the west, we think of the aged as a waist of time to listen too what they have to say.
With Children, it is much different for them to learn what a class of adults
learn.
For the Combat Class which is usually students that train five days a week, they
would learn forms that people in other classes would not learn. The other
classes would eventually learn these forms, but not as quickly as the Combat
Students.
For the Community Class, or "Family Class", again they would learn forms that
suit the whole family, men, women, and children, they might even bring one of
their grandparents along, all this is taken into account by the instructor.
