The 5 Major Elements of Martial Arts Training at Masters Studios:

Mental Focus

The student is taught to be fully aware of the five senses. In class, the student is trained to be aware of what is happening both inside and outside the body. Learning new movements and techniques enhance the ability to think, process and learn. A student will demonstrate mental focus by the ability to follow direction and by the incorporation of new ideas

Physical Training

Physical training is a big part of the training at Masters Studios. The five basics include punching, kicking, blocking, stances, and movement from stance to stance. Conditioning also includes strengthening muscle, stretching, range of motion, breathing, balance, rooting, and polymetric movement. You will never get bored due to constantly varying routines.

Techniques

Technique includes defensive maneuvers against punches, kicks, weapons, and choking and grabbing situations from both single and multiple attackers. Traditional martial arts forms (or kata) are also included in our curriculum. These include Kempo, Kung Fu, Wushu, and weapons forms.

Strategy

Strategy is the ability to fluidly fit the technique coupled with physical conditioning to handly a wide range of situations. The student is taught to handle situations ranging from annoying to outright attack. This response should be appropriate to each situation.

Lifestyle

A healthy lifestyle is the natural progression as a student begins to feel the mental and physical benefits of his commitment to training. Confidence, health, and pride coupled with humility is the goal for every black belt.
