Seminars

February 2026
Ts'ao Kuo Chiu, Pa Hsien

From the Eight Drunken Immortal Fighting System!

Saturday, February 14, 2026
10am-3pm
*No Regular classes this day!

It is said that he once served in the Imperial Court, rising to a rank few could ever hope to reach—respected, feared, and never one to cross. Others claim he was a reformed killer who spent the rest of his life seeking redemption for the sins of his past. Whichever story you believe, his fighting style—and this form—demand exceptional agility, precision, and courage. In this class, you’ll be challenged with advanced maneuvers such as forward and backward rolls, one armed cartwheels, and full splits. I will also introduce two signature techniques: the Tiger Dive and the Shoot Through. Prepare yourself. This is a demanding form, both physically and mentally, but an incredibly rewarding one. This class is open to all students. Step in with determination and give it your best.
