SHORT STICK WORKSHOP

Our recent workshop on short stick techniques covered the basics of striking, countering and self defense using the principles of eagle claw kung fu both empty handed and with a stick.

Master Benson Lee describes the theory behind short stick techniques and application 

Defending against a short stick, as with any attack, requires timing, speed and accuracy. The strategy of Eagle Claw Kung Fu is based on quickly neutralizing an attack through moving, blocking, and disarming or locking the opponent. Below, students practice striking the wrist joint to disarm an attacker.
