We don’t have a traditional kata system, but we do require a few short sequences called “working out procedures.” These combine techniques from your training block into a straightforward sequence you demonstrate in the air.

We created these because many students don’t have training partners. Demonstrating the sequence helps us see that you’ve practiced the material and assess how well you perform the movements on your own. Each movement comes from the practical self-defense techniques covered in your lessons.

You may hear the instruction “memorize this like a kata” in the course. This simply means learning the sequence for your test. Some systems require students to memorize 20 different katas or forms. That’s not how our program works. There’s some memorization involved, but our focus is on helping you practice the techniques and demonstrate what you’ve learned.

Your $30/mo Base Membership starts with instant access to 40 training videos: 20 Kung Fu San Soo videos and 20 knife fighting videos. These include two bonus modules from each system, so you have plenty to begin training with right away. Each month after joining, you’ll unlock one new module from each system. Every module includes 10 step-by-step videos, with lessons ranging from 8 to 17 minutes.
