Science of Elastic Force

              Weekend Workshop

       with Sifu Mark Rasmus

Practitioner Course - Level 1

2 day/12 hour workshop     Fee: $250, limited space

September 19th & 20th 2015  

Saturday 11am - 6 pm & Sunday 9am - 4pm

We are happy to welcome back Sifu Mark Rasmus to the DC Area in 2015. We will be offering two oppurtunities to study and trainwith Mark this year. Please check out his 5 day nature retreat offering as well.

In this weekend workshop Mark will take participants throught his elastic force program and will offer new insight into this method for previous attendees and those previous knowledge of this material.

Topics to be covered:

Meditation / Energy sensitivity / Energy Storage / Energy release techniques  - Releasing the muscles / Opening the joints / Principles of structural alignment  - Sinking the chi / Dan tien model / Ground path model - 3 stages of development, Looseness – Fullness – Emptiness / How the 3 stages work.
Listening energy / Finding the root / Seizing the root / Feeding the force - Receiving energy / Neutralizing energy /Rebounding elastic force ( large cycle)  - Energy breathing meditation / dissipate force at point of contact - How to connect Mass / How to accelerate mass through elasticity - How to stick to centre to reduce dissipated force / How to move energy internally in striking - 3 Circles of Power / 3 Rings / 3 Energy Bodies/Rebounding elastic force  - Methods of release / Developing fullness / Developing Emptiness - Roll back energy - Long energy - Short energy - Intercepting energy - Formless application


Warning: You will be launched off your feet hundreds of times during this workshop, you will have large amounts of force placed on your body. You must be healthy with a strong structure to undergo this training.
