Great course. I got this about a year ago and did several of the exercises consistently. Just went back through again to take notes and pickup details I missed during the first time through. It is similar to what I have done in the past but some exercises and details I did not have, so well worth it.

Possibly My Favorite Course

Justin Hutchinson

I've been working on my posture for a while, this course helped tie it together to my martial arts and I've already seen improvements in my body mechanics and body awareness while training.

This is by far the most practical and systematic set of instructions and training methods for attaining internal strength, and many of the other qualities that experienced martial artists have, especially those who have trained in the so called 'internal' martial arts. The exercises and methodology is very clear and well structured. It has made crystal clear and practical, many body skills and attributes that I previously could only get murky and often mysterious explanations for. I thoroughly recommend for literally any martial artist, or anyone interested in developing interesting, intelligent, whole body strength!

Spiral movement is something really hard to understand without the help of a committed teacher doing his best to explain, thresh, and contextualize all his key elements. Chris did an amazing effort to achieve that! I can say that these are the best beginner level explanations I have ever seen online. Every sincere martial artist should watch this course. No matter if you follow the training or just enjoy the explanations, your martial "eye" would never be the same after knowing the potential of the spirals
