Earth
& Ocean Martial Arts.
This style encompasses training techniques from
Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai/Chinese Kickboxing, Karate and also traditional techniques from Shanxi style Xing Yi Quan- Form Intention Boxing (one of the three
main Chinese internal martial arts). Efficiency and economy of movements are the qualities of Xing Yi Quan it has a direct
fighting concept utilising simultaneous attacks and defences..
Since the age of 16 (1986) I (Mr.C) have always been involved in the martial arts, I decided to take
all of my knowledge and skills with my wife (Sharon) assistance, to create the style of Earth & Ocean Martial Arts. The
first class commenced in January 2008.
This Year 2011 I studied Shan Xi style Xing Yi Quan in Beijing with my BaGuaZhang
master Mr Xiang Zheng, I have now incorporated it as the base style for forms and traditional learning.
I’m always looking to improve and develop
the style as my knowledge of the martial arts grows!
The main concept of this style is based on the theory of Yin & Yang; the techniques can be soft and fluid as
well as dynamic and powerful.Click here to see more of my accomplishments & qualifications
Earth & Ocean Martial Arts classes are ideally
suited to those who wish to learn and understand the true meaning of the martial arts, improving health and learning to protect
themselves whilst having fun.
The Unique Chinese style martial art commonly called Form Intention Boxing is the base technical style;
also EOMA uses Tae Kwon Do/Karate style kicks, kick boxing style pad work and circuits for fitness.
In training we use- psychology,
sparring (50/50), pressure point striking, disruption of the body and mind, minimum force-maximum effectiveness, energy work,
forms/kata, weapons and more.
Junior classes.
These
classes incorporate more traditional concepts of learning, developing and using:
Concentration
Self-control
Self-discipline
Courtesy
Respect
They are especially suited for children to focus their
minds and learn practical skills to protect themselves from difficult situations in a fun and safe environment.
I have set in place rules for the children to follow; focusing on those skills listed above, which they must follow
and understand, not only in training, but in everyday life.
The parents also have a part in students going
for belt progression. They are given a form to return to myself, asking if the students have been using the qualities
that you would expect from diligent and respectful students of the martial arts, at home, and in school. If they have
not! Then they will not be progressing to their next belt! The next belt can be achieved when an improvement is seen!
Every 10 lessons junior students can go for a martial arts merit badge, this
gives the student a challenge to work towards! And it helps improve their skills in the mastery of the martial arts.
Adult classes are from ages 12 & above.
Junior classes are from ages 8-11, 5-7 classes are coming soon.
Earth & Ocean Martial Arts is
non competitive, we train for life! Not trophies!
