Ng Ga Kuen Syllabus Southern style kung fu is commonly known for its quick foot works and hand movements which derives from speed , balance, power and agility. The development of quickness depends on the thoroughness of a basic training program. In Five Family Style, it starts with learning the correct posture and mechanics of the stances, punches, blocks, and kicks. The next step is to work on power and speed, practice with weights to increase strength and mobility, zigzag around obstacles to gain slalom speed. Then comes balancing training, traditionally it was done on top of a pole formation named plum flower poles (five poles), but it is acceptable to substitute with bricks. For focusing, it is desirable to use a wooden dummy for blocking, stuffed bags for punching and kicking. The final step is to be able to integrate any stances, punches, blocks and kicks into a single movement or a series of techniques randomly. Of course, lessons of proper breathing is included in basic training. Our simple concept of breathing is: inhale when hands are in, exhale when hands are out. However, the advance level requires the dynamic of the breathing rhythm be synchronized with the flow of techniques in order to endure fatigue.
