I am just curious to know what drills or exercises do yall do with the kali sticks to perfect your technique ?

Another limited drop is on the way. As part of the Budo Brothers Academy community, you always get the inside track on our upcoming releases before everyone else. This Thursday May 14th, we’re releasing the limited edition Purpleheart Tanto Trainers. Crafted from exotic Purpleheart wood, each piece is designed to be both a functional training tool and a collectible work of art inspired by traditional Japanese weaponry. Supply is extremely limited and once they’re gone, they’re gone. If you’ve been waiting to add one to your collection, make sure to grab yours this week before they sell out.

What should we make the material out of?

The routine is a simplified form of Qigong, a practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).The philosophy behind it is based on these key principles found in the text below: 1. Cultivating Energy (Chi): The routine begins with "Hold the chi" referring to the vital life force or energy that is central to TCM. The exercises are designed to promote the smooth flow of chi throughout the body. 2. Holistic Connection: The movements are not just for muscular benefit but are linked to the health of internal organs. Use this practice to "hold the feet to strengthen our lower back and kidney" demonstrating a core TCM belief in the connection between external movement and internal health. 3. Mind-Body-Breath Integration: emphasizing"Breathing with the movement together". This synchronization is a fundamental aspect of Qigong, intended to calm the mind and unify the body's actions with its energy flow. 4. Symbolic and Natural Movements: Exercise names like "separate hand to heaven and earth" and "sway the head and wag the tail" are characteristic of Qigong forms, which often draw inspiration from nature to guide the practitioner's movements and intent. @Erik Allan @Kyle Mahadeo
